Unexpected outcome working with SetP. Creates brand new data instead of hydrating existing path

[n3rd253]

Hello @Jeffail

I am trying to give your library a solid go of mimicking C#'s Dynamic construct, and i'm frankly running in to a lot of issues trying to pair against your documentation. Admittedly this could be my assumptions, please consider the following JSON:

{
	"Slices": [{
		"Origin": "DCA",
		"Destination": "SEA",
		"IsRefundable": "False",
		"DepartureDate": "",
		"LoyaltyTier": "None",
		"Segments": [{
			"FareType": "coach",
			"Origin": "DCA",
			"Destination": "SEA",
			"DepartureDateTime": "",
			"CarrierFlightNumber": "XXXXX"
		}]
	}],
	"Passengers": [{
		"PassengerType": "ADT",
		"PassengerCount": "1"
	}]
}

With which i'm trying to manipulate with the following code snippet:

tomorrow := time.Now().Add(time.Hour * 24).Format("2006-01-02")

validatePricingObj, err := gabs.ParseJSONFile(pricingRequestPath) //this is data above

validatePricingObj.SetP(fmt.Sprintf("%s %s", tomorrow, "08:00"), "PriceResponse.Slices.0.DepartureTime")

validatePricingObj.SetP(fmt.Sprintf("%s %s", tomorrow, "10:30"), "PriceResponse.Slices.0.Segments.0.DepartureDateTime")

What I end up with is the following, brand new data path, instead of updating the data in the path I supplied.

{\"Passengers\":[{\"PassengerCount\":\"1\",\"PassengerType\":\"ADT\"}],\"PriceResponse\":{\"Slices\":{\"0\":{\"DepartureTime\":\"2020-09-24 08:00\",\"Segments\":{\"0\":{\"DepartureDateTime\":\"2020-09-24 10:30\"}}}}},\"Slices\":[{\"DepartureDate\":\"\",\"Destination\":\"SEA\",\"IsRefundable\":\"False\",\"LoyaltyTier\":\"None\",\"Origin\":\"DCA\",\"Segments\":[{\"CarrierFlightNumber\":\"XXXXX\",\"DepartureDateTime\":\"\",\"Destination\":\"SEA\",\"FareType\":\"coach\",\"Origin\":\"DCA\"}]}]}"}

Would appreciate your direct assistance, this is blocking our implementation of your package and i'd hate to have to look elsewhere as this seems very promising.

Thanks!!

Michael

Hey @n3rd253, are you definitely importing V2 of the api? The import path should be github.com/Jeffail/gabs/v2. Your code looks fine but I'll double check it next time I'm at a PC.

@Jeffail

import (
	"bytes"
	"errors"
	"fmt"
	"io/ioutil"
	"net/http"
	settingsLib "pnrhelperservice/internal/settings"
	"pnrhelperservice/internal/utils"
	"time"

	"dev.azure.com/itsals/CustomerMobile/_git/lumberjack.git"
	"github.com/Jeffail/gabs/v2"
	"github.com/google/uuid"
)

This is the service itself, and here we have the module declaration itself

module helperservice

go 1.14

Sorry. I'm pretty sure I figured it out.

Invalid json pathing is invalid and new.
