Create/Deploy a go action using this go-client

[john98nf]

Hello,

I'm trying to deploy an action with go runtime by using this go client. I found the Insert method, so I'm trying something like:

newAction := whisk.Action{
	Namespace: "_",
	Name:      foo,
	Version:   "v1",
}
newAction.Exec = &whisk.Exec{
	Kind: "Go:1.15",
	Code: <???>,
	Image: <???>,
}
_, resp, err := client.Actions.Insert(&newAction, true)

The problem is that I can't figure out how to specify the source code for this function. Is it possible to assing a certain path to a field of one of these two types like newAction.Exec.sth = "/path/to/foo.go" ??
Also, when i try for example setting newAction.Exec.Image = "/path/to/exec.zip" (where zip created following this guide) and ignoring Code field, i'm getting a 400 Bad Request with the following error:

The request content was malformed:
'code' must be a string or attachment object defined in 'exec' for 'go:1.15' actions (code oMTYeg66S3pUoWR4TGUSXusml8cmV2jF)

So, i'm pretty sure that I'm not using it right 😝. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Best regards

Solution found by studying openwhisk-cli action create command implementation itself. Code field requires to point to a string containing the action-code. So something like:

file, err := ioutil.ReadFile("/path/to/sourceCode.go")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
code := string(file)
newAction.Exec.Code = &code

, should do the trick.
