Function will not return multiple returns - multiple-value in single-value context

Question

Go refuses to return multiple returns. If I leave out the second return it works but I need the second return. How do I resolve?

Here is my call:

type Streaming struct{}

func main() {
    mySlice, dateList = getHgetallStreamingData()
}

Here is my function:

func getHgetallStreamingData(pair string, c redis.Conn) ([]Streaming, []time.Time) {    
    var mySlice []Streaming
    var dateList []time.Time
    return mySlice, dateList
 }

Here is my error:

multiple-value getHgetallStreamingData() in single-value context

Answer 1

The error must be coming from somewhere else. The code works like a charm:

package main

import "time"

type Streaming struct{}

func main() {
    _, _ = getHgetallStreamingData()
}

func getHgetallStreamingData() (s []Streaming, t []time.Time) {
    return
}
