Struct generation issue

[Teddy-Schmitz]

So sometimes when I'm running the generation I get this error,

expected Address to be a named struct, instead found string

and the interface will generate all the fields, but sometimes the generate runs successfully with no errors and its using the type I put in types.json.

I have been trying to figure out why this is happening, any clues?

If I change the name of the struct from Address to something else like AddressHolder this seems to go away. Now I'm guessing that I have something else called address somewhere.

I have a feeling there is a nasty bug lurking in the model generation, it makes a dependency loop between the generated code and the user code.

generated.go contains Address, it might even reference some user type
user.go contains references to address

this means when regenerating the code the user code is invalid without the generated code (address is not defined). I think I'm going to need to split it into two phases:

• generate the models, disable type checking, write out generated.go
• generate the rest of generated.go with types on

I'll look into it some more, thanks for the report 👍

Ya that does sound like something that could be affecting me. I do have other structs which have an address field that is a string.
