objectbox-go generator can not handle a struct with multiple lazy loaded relations #45
Description
Hi Guys,
Just messing around with objectbox-go for use as data storage for my app, and I came across the idea
of lazy loading related objects. I found that If I create a struct with more than 1 lazy loaded relation,
the generator breaks badly, to the point that if I remove all but 1 of the lazy defines on a relation, it works fine.
As I'm new to golang, I don't think I'm in the right headspace yet to fix it myself, but that being said, I can
point you in the direction I think needs the fix...
internal/generator/go/templates/binding.go
seems to be the first part to have issues, as with multiple lazy loaded relations, the templated code at line
165 misses a new line in the template, and causes errors in the code.
But then it totally dies somewhere in the templated code after line 193.
Granted those line numbers are from looking at the current source of the repo.
Modules involved:
github.com/objectbox/objectbox-generator v0.13.0
github.com/objectbox/objectbox-go v1.6.1
Golang version:
go version go1.17.9 linux/amd64
Below is my model.go file for the generator to have fun with.
package model
//go:generate go run github.com/objectbox/objectbox-go/cmd/objectbox-gogen
type Token struct {
Id uint64
Token string
ExpiryDate uint64 `objectbox:"date"`
}
type Track struct {
Id uint64
path string `objectbox:"index:hash64"`
artistName string `objectbox:"index:hash64"`
songName string `objectbox:"index:hash64"`
albumName string `objectbox:"index:hash64"`
albumTrackNumber int
}
type Playlist struct {
Id uint64
CurrentTrackId uint16
Elapsed int
Tracks []*Track
}
type Friend struct {
Id uint64
friendId uint64
}
type User struct {
Id uint64 // going to be an internal objectBoxId
FirstName string
LastName string
EmailAddress string `objectbox:"index:hash64"`
Password string
Enabled bool
Tokens []*Token `objectbox:"lazy"`
Tracks []*Track `objectbox:"lazy"`
Playlists []*Playlist `objectbox:"lazy"`
SharedPlaylists []*Playlist `objectbox:"lazy"`
Friends []*Friend `objectbox:"lazy"`
}output of command: go generate ./...

Team, this bug is still present. I'm also experiencing the issue. Why hasn't the fix been merged?

@doffi88 Thanks for reporting! The Relations documentation suggests that lazy loading is not the default. As a workaround, maybe try to remove the lazy annotation and use eagerly loaded relations.
