Mockgen imports not working

[gudladona]

mockgen with Imports flag does not generate the mocked file correctly.

mockgen -source ../iam/types/apis.go -destination cmd/iam_mock.go -package iam -imports iamTypes=git.nexgen.neustar.biz/IAS/iam/types

// Automatically generated by MockGen. DO NOT EDIT!
// Source: ../iam/types/apis.go

package iam

import (
gomock "github.com/golang/mock/gomock"
)

// Mock of UserApi interface
type MockUserApi struct {
ctrl *gomock.Controller
recorder *_MockUserApiRecorder
}

// Recorder for MockUserApi (not exported)
type _MockUserApiRecorder struct {
mock *MockUserApi
}

func NewMockUserApi(ctrl *gomock.Controller) *MockUserApi {
mock := &MockUserApi{ctrl: ctrl}
mock.recorder = &_MockUserApiRecorder{mock}
return mock
}

func (_m *MockUserApi) EXPECT() *_MockUserApiRecorder {
return _m.recorder
}

func (_m *MockUserApi) CreateUser(user IAMUser) (IAMUser, error) {
ret := _m.ctrl.Call(_m, "CreateUser", user)
ret0, _ := ret[0].(IAMUser)
ret1, _ := ret[1].(error)
return ret0, ret1
}

func (_mr *_MockUserApiRecorder) CreateUser(arg0 interface{}) *gomock.Call {
return _mr.mock.ctrl.RecordCall(_mr.mock, "CreateUser", arg0)
}

// Mock of OrganizationApi interface
type MockOrganizationApi struct {
ctrl *gomock.Controller
recorder *_MockOrganizationApiRecorder
}

// Recorder for MockOrganizationApi (not exported)
type _MockOrganizationApiRecorder struct {
mock *MockOrganizationApi
}

func NewMockOrganizationApi(ctrl *gomock.Controller) *MockOrganizationApi {
mock := &MockOrganizationApi{ctrl: ctrl}
mock.recorder = &_MockOrganizationApiRecorder{mock}
return mock
}

func (_m *MockOrganizationApi) EXPECT() *_MockOrganizationApiRecorder {
return _m.recorder
}

func (_m *MockOrganizationApi) CreateOrganization(org IAMOrganization) (IAMOrganization, error) {
ret := _m.ctrl.Call(_m, "CreateOrganization", org)
ret0, _ := ret[0].(IAMOrganization)
ret1, _ := ret[1].(error)
return ret0, ret1
}

func (_mr *_MockOrganizationApiRecorder) CreateOrganization(arg0 interface{}) *gomock.Call {
return _mr.mock.ctrl.RecordCall(_mr.mock, "CreateOrganization", arg0)
}

Can you be more specific? What's generated incorrectly?

Does it work better in "reflect mode"? (run mockgen -help)

[gudladona]

Even after i specify the "-imports iamTypes=git.nexgen.neustar.biz/IAS/iam/types" in import flag it does not generate/include the import. I did not understand the usage of "reflect mode". Could you please give me an example of the usage ?

[gudladona]

Understood the usage of reflect mode. Mocks are generated correctly. Closing the issue.

Example Usage for my case:

mockgen -package=cmd -destination=cmd/iam_mock.go git.nexgen.neustar.biz/IAS/iam/types UserApi,OrganizationApi
