Composite literal uses unkeyed fields
Since no one else has pointed this out — the warning is there to safeguard you from changes in the third-party API breaking your code silently.
Ignoring this vet
warning has the potential to lead to really nasty and hard to track down runtime bugs, so you'd be better off if you were to always specify the keys of 3rd party struct
s explicitly.
Such would be the case if the maintainers of the library you are using decided to change the order of elements in their struct
for whatever reason. For example, switching Key
with Value
, in the OP case. Your code would still appear to compile just fine, but what you intended to be the key would now be passed as the value and vice versa, and things would just start breaking in unexpected ways.
You can change:
filter := bson.D{{"autorefid", "100"}}
to:
filter := bson.D{primitive.E{Key: "autorefid", Value: "100"}}
You can simply change:
filter := bson.D{{"autorefid", "100"}}
to:
filter := bson.D{{Key: "autorefid", Value: "100"}}
//Skip primitive.E as said by Chris W
The warnings can be stopped by setting the check flag to false.
$ go doc cmd/vet
By default all checks are performed. If any flags are explicitly set to true, only those tests are run. Conversely, if any flag is explicitly set to false, only those tests are disabled. Thus -printf=true runs the printf check, -printf=false runs all checks except the printf check.
Unkeyed composite literals Flag: -composites Composite struct literals that do not use the field-keyed syntax.
But the warning is due to not providing the keys name when setting the value in primitive.E
struct.
Setting keys for primitive.E
struct will remove the warning messages. For example
filter := bson.D{primitive.E{Key: "autorefid", Value: "100"}}
Package primitive contains types similar to Go primitives for BSON types can do not have direct Go primitive representations.
type E struct {
Key string
Value interface{}
}
E represents a BSON element for a D. It is usually used inside a D.
