Go(lang) Help

[Elina]

Hi, so I recently started learning Go but having some issues with the confusing (For me) variable system. Looked at all wikis and all.

So I have a variable in a package called "lib" (yes the variable is exported) and I want to access this in another package called "handler" but its not importing there? Really wierd.

I doubt I'll get many replies due to the language but worth a shot.

Thanks
Ellie

Can you post the current code?

Can you post the current code?

Sure..

This in `libs/errors.go` (the error descriptions are very vague on purpose)

var InvalidRequest = encode(errorData{"InvalidMethod", "Invalid method verb"}) // encode returns a string + errorData is a struct
var BadAuth = encode(errorData{"BadAuthentication", "Bad authentication code"})
var BadTarget = encode(errorData{"BadTarget", "No or invalid target specified"})
var BadPayload = encode(errorData{"BadPayload", "Bad payload sent"})

This can be accessed with ease through main.go in root.

Then in `handler/uhchandle.go`

func handleUHCRequest(req *http.Request) (string, int) {
    data := req.FormValue("data")

    var reqData uhcRequest

    err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(data), reqData)

    if err != nil {
        return BadPayload, 400 // <--- error here with imports.
    }

    return "test", 1
}

In `handlers/uhchandle.go`'s imports. When I add

"../main"

Visual Studio removes it
