When I isolate the file, it successfully works without giving me any errors, but when I add it to a project, it results in an error. This is just a small section of the problem. I found mostt others when I was using it resulted in some weird errors.

I have tried my best, but I just can't seem to solve it, please help me.

Found an odd behaviour, when there is the go.mod modules file, it doesn't work, but works when taken out.

[hasante]

Also this is my go.mod file:

module github.com/Henry-Asante/auth_service

go 1.13

require (
github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go v3.2.0+incompatible
github.com/fauna/faunadb-go v2.0.0+incompatible
github.com/gorilla/mux v1.7.4
github.com/stretchr/testify v1.5.1 // indirect
github.com/subosito/gotenv v1.2.0
golang.org/x/crypto v0.0.0-20200403201458-baeed622b8d8
)

Was able to work when I used Go dep for my package management

[mbraeutig]

Get the same issue,
when i working with the tutorial
https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/tutorials/crud

undefined: faunadb.CreateCollection

My go.mod (snippet)
require github.com/fauna/faunadb-go v2.0.0+incompatible

What must i do ?

[hasante]

@mbraeutig

You need to change your dependency management to go dep: Tutorial I used

The idea that worked for me, was to change my project directory to my $GOPATH, I used during installation.

Then from there, I run go get .../dep, and run dep init to initiate a new project.

Then you can add modules by running the command

dep ensure --add github.com/fauna/faunadb-go( Find the correct path from docs)

This solved all my dependency issues and a lot of red flags I had when developing outside my $GOPATH, and using GO MOD.

Hope this works for you, all the best!!

@Henry-Asante

Yeah thanks a lot.

I have found another solution.
Clonning
https://github.com/fauna/faunadb-go.git
direct into the $GOPATH

Now i am working with the good old GOPATH :-)

Then i have some others problems:

The tutorial is not working :-(

[hasante]

@mbraeutig You should move to go dep to stop all this. I was informed by the FauanDB team that using Go mod as dependency management produces some errors.

Also after moving to Go dep for dependency management. I now understand how my folder is structure and how everything makes a lot more sense coming from a Node.js background.

@Henry-Asante

Can you please try my repro.
https://github.com/mbraeutig/faunadb-tutorial
It is very simple olny one main.go.
Does it works with your set up ?

Thanks

[hasante]

@mbraeutig , It worked on my setup

[mbraeutig]

@Henry-Asante

Yeah, thanks a lot :-)

with my setup, i have no problems with compile,
but i have problem at the runtime.

For example, creatingCollection:
2020/04/10 12:37:54 Response error 400. Errors: [create_collection](invalid object in container): Object is not allowed
in a container

So, i must think off to switch to dep.

Thanks

[hasante]

Yes @mbraeutig , try that to stop all the problems which will probably come after fixing this.

All the best
