Directly related (8)

cannot assign to struct field m[k].f in mapGo

Go: cannot assign to struct field users["bob"].Age in map

Map values are not addressable, so you cannot modify a field of a struct stored directly in a map.

panic: assignment to entry in nil mapGo

Go: panic: assignment to entry in nil map

You wrote to a map that was declared but never initialised.

invalid character looking for beginning of valueGo

Go: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value

The decoder received something that is not JSON — often an HTML error page, an empty body or plain text.

listen tcp :8080: bind: address already in useGo

Go: listen tcp :8080: bind: address already in use

The port your Go server wants is already taken by another process (or a previous instance of your app).

cannot refer to unexported nameGo

Go: cannot refer to unexported name pkg.helper (undefined: pkg.helper)

You used a lowercase (unexported) identifier from another package; only capitalised names are visible outside their package.

panic: interface conversionGo

Go: panic: interface conversion: interface {} is string, not int

A type assertion `x.(T)` failed because the dynamic type of the interface is not T.

reflect: call of reflect.Value.X on zero ValueGo

Go: panic: reflect: call of reflect.Value.Elem on zero Value

Reflection code operated on an invalid (zero) `reflect.Value`, often derived from a nil pointer or a missing struct field.

assignment mismatch: 1 variable but f returns 2 valuesGo

Go: assignment mismatch: 1 variable but os.Open returns 2 values

The number of variables on the left does not match the number of values the function returns.

Two steps away (21)

imported and not usedGo

Go: ./main.go:5:2: "os" imported and not used

The file imports a package that no code in that file uses; Go treats this as a compile error, not a warning.

undefined: xGo

Go: ./main.go:12:2: undefined: handler

The compiler cannot find an identifier — a typo, a missing import, or it lives in another file/package that wasn't built.

missing returnGo

Go: ./main.go:18:1: missing return

A function with a return type can reach its end without a return statement on some path.

invalid memory address or nil pointer dereferenceGo

Go: panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

The program used a pointer, map, interface or struct field that was nil — usually an uninitialised value or an ignored error.

panic: runtime error: index out of rangeGo

Go: panic: runtime error: index out of range [3] with length 3

Code accessed a slice, array or string element beyond its length.

panic: slice bounds out of rangeGo

Go: panic: runtime error: slice bounds out of range [:5] with capacity 3

A slice expression `s[a:b]` used bounds outside the slice's length or capacity.

http: superfluous response.WriteHeader callGo

Go: http: superfluous response.WriteHeader call from main.handler (main.go:25)

A handler wrote the status header more than once, or wrote the body first (which sends 200) and then tried to set another status.

dial tcp: connect: connection refusedGo

Go: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:5432: connect: connection refused

Nothing is listening on the host and port your Go program tried to connect to.

x509: certificate signed by unknown authorityGo

Go: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

The Go TLS client does not trust the CA that signed the server's certificate.

port is already allocatedDocker

Docker: Bind for 0.0.0.0:80 failed: port is already allocated

Another container or host process already publishes that host port.

network not foundDocker

Error response from daemon: network X not found

The container or Compose project refers to a Docker network that doesn’t exist (any more).

Pool overlapsDocker

Error response from daemon: Pool overlaps with other one on this address space

Docker tried to create a network whose subnet clashes with an existing Docker network (or a VPN/host route).

cannot use x as type in assignment/argumentGo

Go: cannot use "5" (untyped string constant) as int value in argument to f

A value's type is not assignable to the type required by the variable, parameter or return value.

import cycle not allowedGo

Go: package app/models imports app/utils imports app/models: import cycle not allowed

Two or more packages import each other directly or indirectly, which Go forbids.

function main is undeclared in the main packageGo

Go: runtime.main_main·f: function main is undeclared in the main package

The package is named `main` but contains no `func main()`, or you tried to build a library as an executable.

does not implement interface (missing method)Go

Go: cannot use &Dog{} (value of type *Dog) as Animal value: *Dog does not implement Animal (missing method Speak)

A type was used as an interface but lacks a method or has it with a different signature or receiver type.

fatal error: stack overflowGo

Go: runtime: goroutine stack exceeds 1000000000-byte limit — fatal error: stack overflow

Unbounded recursion consumed the goroutine's stack until it hit the 1 GB limit.

panic: runtime error: integer divide by zeroGo

Go: panic: runtime error: integer divide by zero

Integer division or modulo by zero.

no new variables on left side of :=Go

Go: ./main.go:9:6: no new variables on left side of :=

`:=` declares variables, but all names on the left already exist in the same scope.

invalid operation: mismatched typesGo

Go: invalid operation: a + b (mismatched types int and float64)

You combined two values of different types; Go never converts numeric types implicitly.

not enough / too many arguments in callGo

Go: not enough arguments in call to f have (int) want (int, string)

A function was called with fewer or more arguments than it declares.
