1. Problem

I have a model definition as below.

type Log struct {
ID string json:"id"
Type string json:"type"
Content map[string]interface{} json:"content"
Created int64 json:"created"
Updated int64 json:"updated"
}

When I try to include this as the response object

// @Success 200 {object}  controllers.LogsPaginatedResponse

It throws an error

 WARN     ▶ 0001 Cannot find the object: 47095.0xc4204d8db0.false

It works without the interface{} field. Is there a way to store generic fields in the swagger docs.?

same issue here

@astaxie could this be solved with object types in swagger?

Yes, this is highly problematic.

A workaround is to alias the type (type newinterface = interface{} and then use newinterface on the struct), but then again, that's even more problematic. :)
