I have created a struct, this struct has contains two list types within it. When I try to instantiate my struct I receive the error
cannot use list.New() (type *list.List) as type list.List in field value
I am using the golang playground
The struct
type myStruct struct {
name string
messages list.List
users list.List
lastUsed time.Time
}
Instantiating the struct
var myVar = myStruct{"hello", list.New(), list.New(), time.Now()}
list.New() returns a pointer *List
, while myStruct announce its fields as List
.
func New() *List
messages and users should be *list.List
type myStruct struct {
name string
messages *list.List
users *list.List
lastUsed time.Time
}
Another approach according to your need, u can just initialize the struct as below:
var myVar = myStruct{"hello", *list.New(), *list.New(), time.Now()}
You are creating wrong struct because go, according to list
package New()
method returns pointer type of list and you created list
in struct without pointer.
func New() *List
So, according to doc you need to created your struct like below:
type myStruct struct {
name string
messages *list.List
users *list.List
lastUsed time.Time
}
