Calling two different exposed functions in goth package. One works, the other yields "undefined: goth.ContextForClient" at compile-time

fejnartal · August 19, 2017, 7:56am

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"

	"github.com/markbates/goth"
)

func main() {
	x := goth.GetProviders() // works
	a := goth.ContextForClient(http.DefaultClient) // fails with ./test.go:12: undefined: goth.ContextForClient
	fmt.Print(x, a)
}

This is the exact place were the functions are defined:

github.com

markbates/goth/blob/c55b917ee947a46c06d65de2cb1b8896ec19a1a2/provider.go#L62


	return provider, nil
}


// ClearProviders will remove all providers currently in use.
// This is useful, mostly, for testing purposes.
func ClearProviders() {
	providers = Providers{}
}


// ContextForClient provides a context for use with oauth2.
func ContextForClient(h *http.Client) context.Context {
	if h == nil {
		return oauth2.NoContext
	}
	return context.WithValue(oauth2.NoContext, oauth2.HTTPClient, h)
}


// HTTPClientWithFallBack to be used in all fetch operations.
func HTTPClientWithFallBack(h *http.Client) *http.Client {
	if h != nil {
		return h

I have the same problem when trying to call HTTPClientWithFallBack. But any other function in that package works without issue.

What am I missing? Thank you!

If goth.HTTPClientWithFallBack doesnt work as well, try updating goth, those functions have been added in a commit about a year ago, maybe you still have an older version in your GOPATH or vendored.

Thank you Norbert.

It was indeed a problem with the package in vendor folder not being the last version.
I kept looking at the package in GOPATH and couldn’t figure out why it was not working.
