gorm v2 and gorm v1

[yangwawa0323]

By using protoc-gen-gorm generated the *.pb.gorm.go file, the problem is my project of the protobuf service using the "gorm.io/gorm" is v2 of the gorm project that is not compatible of the "github.com/jinzhu/gorm" which is v1.

After I change the alias gorm1 of imported package to v2 in the generated code *.pb.gorm.go, the VS code raised a lot of error.

import (
        ...
	gorm1 "github.com/jinzhu/gorm"
	_ "gorm.io/driver/sqlite"
)
func (us *UserServer) CreateUser(ctx context.Context,
	req *pb_user.CreateUserRequest) (*pb_user.CreateUserResponse, error) {

	var Id string

	storeType := reflect.TypeOf(us.Store)

	switch storeType.String() {
	case "*user.UserDBStore":
		fmt.Println("[DEBUG] : store type is user.UserDBStore")
		// if UserServer's Store is gorm.DB
		if _, ok := us.Store.(*UserDBStore); ok {
			db, err := gorm1.Open("sqlite3", "test.db")
			if err != nil {
				log.Fatal(out.Panic("cannot connect to MySQL database: %v", err))
				return nil, err
			}
			log.Println("Use the protoc gorm DefaultCreateUser func")
			user, err := pb_user.DefaultCreateUser(ctx, req.User, db)
			Id = user.String()

		}
	default:
		user, err := req.GetUser().ToORM(ctx)
		log.Print(out.Debug("Get user request: %#v", user))
		if err != nil {
			return nil, err
		}
		fmt.Println("use the customize gorm UserServer.Store to create user")
		if err = us.Store.Save(&user); err != nil {
			log.Fatal(out.Panic("Cannot save the user to DB : %#v", err))
		}
		fmt.Fprint(os.Stdout, out.Debug("user is created : %#v\n", user))
		Id = user.Id
	}

	return &pb_user.CreateUserResponse{
		Id: Id,
	}, nil
}

It appears this problem stems from the Atlas app toolkit.
Their collection operators using jinzhu gorm v1

Using this plugin, I occurs some incompatibility problems on gorm v2 version:

1. deleted at: https://gorm.io/docs/delete.html#Soft-Delete, v2 use gorm.io/plugin/soft_delete to annotate soft delete
2. unique index: https://gorm.io/docs/indexes.html#uniqueIndex, v2 name is 'uniqueIndex' rathar than 'unique_index'

1. Run go get github.com/infobloxopen/atlas-app-toolkit@gorm_v2 and go install in this repo
2. Run go get github.com/infobloxopen/atlas-app-toolkit@gorm_v2 in your repo using the generated pb.go

I met same problem results to two versions of gorm in our project go mod file. I finally resolve it by using latest version of code.
The problem is, current code is not the release version (may be not stable? ). The latest version still keeps v1.1.2 (released 2022 and do not contains gorm v2). You need to go get latest commit manually by targeting to commit id:

1. In your go repo, run

go get github.com/infobloxopen/protoc-gen-gorm@cedaaf0105d2
It will be auto added to your go.mod file, mod's name will be: github.com/infobloxopen/protoc-gen-gorm v1.1.3-0.20230222001438-cedaaf0105d2

2. Make sure to do not use your v1.1.2 version, suggest to delete local protoc-gen-gorm@v1.1.2 repo.

3. cd to the downloaded v1.1.3 repo, and run:
   go install

4. Re-generate your .pb.go code by protoc xxx

It would be great to cut a v1.1.3 (or a v2) version so people don't have to do this manually

While the latest version is now 1.1.4, I am facing below issue.

Being new to GoLang, I am not sure what to do next 😅

cannot use gorm1.ApplyCollectionOperators(ctx, db, &CurrencyORM{}, &Currency{}, f, s, p, fs) (value of type *"github.com/jinzhu/gorm".DB) as *"gorm.io/gorm".DB value in assignment

And depreciation warning :

gorm1.ApplyCollectionOperators is deprecated: use ApplyCollectionOperatorsEx instead ApplyCollectionOperators applies collection operators to gorm instance db.

Even after using the updated function, I get the same error message of mismatched variable types

Edit :

Solution

I changed the version of github.com/infobloxopen/atlas-app-toolkit/v2 from v2.2.1 to v2.2.1-0.20240313220428-5449c0c2a27f
