Go: cannot use hook.Entries (type []logrus.Entry) as type []*logrus.Entry in return argument

[frankegoesdown]

after import package "github.com/stellar/go/clients/horizon"

compiler says

go/src/github.com/stellar/go/support/log/entry.go:125:14: cannot use hook.Entries (type []logrus.Entry) as type []*logrus.Entry in return argument

Very likely that you did not use glide to install dependencies: https://github.com/stellar/go#dependencies

Sorry I read services/horizon instead of clients/horizon.

@bartekn I hotfix it in my local repo with change []*logrus.Entry to []logrus.Entry in 2 files

But it's temporary solution

What dependency management tool are you using in your workflow?

[frankegoesdown]

Just run example build_transaction

I'm getting the same error here, using dep to manage dependencies. Any idea what is it about?

[Edit]
I tried to remove the vendors folder along with Gopkg.lock and Gopkg.toml and run dep ensure again, but the problem persists.

For now I had to hotfix the same way as @frankegoesdown.

glide seems to ignore transitive dependencies. This is one of many reasons we switched to dep recently. You have two options:

1. Switch to dep too, and update Git revision of github.com/stellar/go to 435de795b0e1ae4ea4638344c5637bff14e31c99 or later - this is where we started using dep (recommended).
2. If you really want to stick to glide add github.com/sirupsen/logrus at 68cec9f21fbf3ea8d8f98c044bc6ce05f17b267a to your glide.yaml and/or glide.lock files.

This issue also appears in Go 1.11 when using the new Go Modules feature and importing the horizon client: github.com/stellar/go/clients/horizon

After running go mod init and go build:

# github.com/stellar/go/support/log
go/pkg/mod/github.com/stellar/[email protected]/support/log/entry.go:148:14:
cannot use hook.Entries (type []logrus.Entry) as type []*logrus.Entry in return argument

To fix run the following from your module:

go get -u github.com/sirupsen/logrus@68cec9f21fbf3ea8d8f98c044bc6ce05f17b267a

After this your go.mod file will have the following require entry (along with any other dependencies):

require(
        // ...
    github.com/sirupsen/logrus v0.11.6-0.20170606205945-68cec9f21fbf // indirect
        // ...
)
