Debugging go app in Jetbrains Goland on m1

First download a proper version of GoLand here — select .dmg (MacOS Apple Silicon) here (direct link — https://www.jetbrains.com/go/download/download-thanks.html?type=eap&platform=macM1&build=211.6556.11&code=GO). Then make sure you are using arm version of go (go version go1.16.2 darwin/arm64). If not, download and install arm version of golang (like «go1.16.2.darwin-arm64.pkg») from the list here — https://golang.org/dl/. Now it should work. With …

Example of using embed in go

Nice article on using go templates with embed introduced in go1.16: https://philipptanlak.com/web-frontends-in-go/. That’s the code:

Embedding assets to go binary in go 1.16

That’s how you can use it:

package server

import "embed"

// content holds our static web server content.
//go:embed image/* template/*
//go:embed html/index.html
var content embed.FS
data, _ := f.ReadFile("html/index.html")
print(string(data))

package server

import "embed"

// content holds our static web server content.

//go:embed image/* template/*

//go:embed html/index.html

var content embed.FS

data, _ := f.ReadFile("html/index.html")

print(string(data))

Or embedding one file directly into a variable:

import _ "embed"

//go:embed hello.txt
var s string
print(s)

import _ "embed"

//go:embed hello.txt

var s string

print(s)

Forward multiple kubernetes pods for local development

kubefwd is a great tool that can forward a lot of pods at once to your local machine. The only downside for me is that it touches your local /etc/hosts. That’s how I use it:

sudo KUBECONFIG=<path to your k8s config> kubefwd svc -l "app in (first-api, second-api, third-service)"

1	sudo KUBECONFIG=<path to your k8s config> kubefwd svc -l "app in (first-api, second-api, third-service)"

It does not have huge documentation, but it is written in golang, and you can check how the source …

XDebug inside a docker container

That’s how you can debug your php app running in a docker container.

Force ipv4 for golang http client

Sometimes you want to prevent your http client from using ipv6/tcp6. That’s how you do it.

dialer := &net.Dialer{
	Timeout:   dialTimeout,
	KeepAlive: keepAliveTimeout,
}

transport := &http.Transport{
	Proxy:             http.ProxyFromEnvironment,
	ForceAttemptHTTP2: false,
	DialContext: func(ctx context.Context, network string, addr string) (net.Conn, error) {
		ipv4, err := resolveIPv4(addr)
		if err != nil {
			return nil, err
		}

		return dialer.DialContext(ctx, network, ipv4)
	},
}

httpClient := &http.Client{
	Transport: transport,
	Timeout:   args.HTTPTimeout,
}

// resolveIPv4 resolves an address to IPv4 address.
func resolveIPv4(addr string) (string, error) {
	url := strings.Split(addr, ":")

	m := new(dns.Msg)
	m.SetQuestion(dns.Fqdn(url[0]), dns.TypeA)
	m.RecursionDesired = true

	config, _ := dns.ClientConfigFromFile("/etc/resolv.conf")
	c := new(dns.Client)
	r, _, err := c.Exchange(m, net.JoinHostPort(config.Servers[0], config.Port))
	if err != nil {
		return "", err
	}
	for _, ans := range r.Answer {
		if a, ok := ans.(*dns.A); ok {
			url[0] = a.A.String()
		}
	}

	return strings.Join(url, ":"), nil
}

dialer := &net.Dialer{

Timeout: dialTimeout,

KeepAlive: keepAliveTimeout,

}

transport := &http.Transport{

Proxy: http.ProxyFromEnvironment,

ForceAttemptHTTP2: false,

return nil, err

}

return dialer.DialContext(ctx, network, ipv4)

}

httpClient := &http.Client{

Timeout: args.HTTPTimeout,

}

// resolveIPv4 resolves an address to IPv4 address.

func resolveIPv4(addr string) (string, error) {

url := strings.Split(addr, ":")

m := new(dns.Msg)

m.SetQuestion(dns.Fqdn(url[0]), dns.TypeA)

m.RecursionDesired = true

Mocking for unit-tests and e2e-tests in golang

Some patterns to test your golang app. Mocking an interface
