I've been trying to debug a really strange issue and stuck believing it being a bug in the Go compiler toolchain.
interface conversion: backends.Client is *mock.client, not *mock.client Steps to reproduce: $ cd $(mktemp -d) $ git clone https://github.com/leonklingele/pick -b interface-conversion-issue pick-interface-conversion-issue $ cd pick-interface-conversion-issue $ make test .. === RUN TestNewBackend --- FAIL: TestNewBackend (0.00s) panic: interface conversion: backends.Client is *mock.client, not *mock.client [recovered] panic: interface conversion: backends.Client is *mock.client, not *mock.client .. Which effectively states that *mock.client != *mock.client :o Using c, err := _new(config) instead of c, err := backends.NewWithType(clientName, config) works fine which is really odd as both _new and backends.NewWithType return a backends.Client -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
