package tests
import (
"testing"
"strconv"
"dir/model"
)
type TestStruct struct {
ID int
a string
b string
c string
d string
ac bool
ad bool
}
func TestUpdate(t *testing.T) {
t.Log("Updating")
cur := TestStruct{i,a,b,c,d,true,true}
err := cur.model.Update(a,b,c,d,true,true)
}
In the code block above, I am trying to call a method that takes a receiver pointer and that is located in package "model".
The compiler error for this is:
reference to undefined field or method ‘model’ err := cur.model.Update(a,b,c,d,e,true,true)
In the code block below,the method "Udpate" in package "model" takes a receiver point to a struct and other input parameters.
package model
type Struct struct {
ID int
a string
b string
c string
d string
ac bool
ad bool
}
func (update *Struct) Update(a, b, c, d,
e string, f, g bool) error {
/* code */
}
I know for functions in other packages I can call them in my current package by saying:
packageName.method(parameters)
How could I call method "Update" from package "model" in package "tests" while inputting a receiver pointer when I call it?
func (update *Struct) Update(a, b, c, d, e string, f, g bool)
is a method that is defined on type model.Struct. You cannot call it on a different type, such as TestStruct defined in your tests package.
What you probably want to do is:
cur := model.Struct{i,a,b,c,d,true,true}
err := cur.Update(a,b,c,d,true,true)
For example,
package tests
import (
"dir/model"
"testing"
)
func TestUpdate(t *testing.T) {
t.Log("Updating")
cur := model.Struct{i, a, b, c, d, true, true}
err := cur.Update(a, b, c, d, true, true)
}
