Problem
I'm creating a microservice in Go, using protocol buffers and gRPC. It interacts with a third-party API (Snooth) and I'm trying to unmarshal the JSON response into a protobuf struct I've created, using the proto
package.
Unmarshalling returns an unexpected EOF
error.
What I've Tried
- Using
json.newDecoder
instead ofjson.unmarshal
-
jsonpb.Unmarshal
instead ofproto.Unmarshal
(returns abad value in StructValue for key
error) - Limiting the response read with
io.LimitReader
I've also read something about prefixing the proto types with a size tag or something? But I'm not sure what that is or if it's relevant. Here's the repo on Github.
Question
What is causing this unexpected EOF
error and how do I fix it, so that the API response is successfully unmarshalled into the proto struct?
Side note: I am new to Go and would also appreciate any feedback/improvements on the following code. Thanks!
Code
Proto
message Response {
message Meta {
int32 results = 1;
int32 returned = 2;
string errmsg = 3;
int32 status = 4;
}
Meta meta = 1;
repeated google.protobuf.Struct wines = 2;
repeated google.protobuf.Struct actions = 3;
}
main.go
func fetchFromSnooth(e string, qs string, c chan response) {
defer func() {
if r := recover(); r != nil {
log.Printf("Error fetching from Snooth: %s", r)
errmsg := fmt.Sprint(r)
c <- response{nil, snoothApiError{errmsg}}
}
}()
v := url.Values{"akey": {os.Getenv("SNOOTH_API_KEY")}}
requestUrl := fmt.Sprintf("%s%s/?%s%s", snoothRoot, e, v.Encode(), qs)
log.Printf("Fetching: %s", requestUrl)
res, err := httpClient.Get(requestUrl)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer res.Body.Close()
body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
result := &pb.Response{}
if err := proto.Unmarshal(body, result); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
c <- response{result, snoothApiError{""}}
}
func (s *snoothApiService) searchWines(params *pb.Parameters_WineSearch) response {
c := make(chan response)
defer close(c)
v := url.Values{}
go fetchFromSnooth("wines", v.Encode(), c)
return <-c
}
func main() {
snooth := snoothApiService{}
resp := snooth.searchWines(nil)
fmt.Println(resp)
}
Edit
Here's an example of the type of API response I'm trying to unmarshal:
