Can't open file when calling golang function via Node
I followed the tutorial in https://medium.com/learning-the-go-programming-language/calling-go-functions-from-other-languages-4c7d8bcc69bf to make my node app able to call golang function. The provided example works like a charm.
I do, however, unable it to implement in another scenario. Here I want to open a file by providing only it's absolute path and call the Go's function, but it always told me that it can't find the file due to no such file. I'm trying to run it directly in Go and it works!
Am I doing it wrong or is it an actual bug/unfinished feature?
Here is the golang source that I've built to c-style lib :
package main
import "C"
import (
"bufio"
"fmt"
"log"
"os"
)
func main() {}
//export ReadSomething
func ReadSomething(filePath string) {
file, err := os.Open(filePath)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer file.Close()
scanner := bufio.NewScanner(file)
for scanner.Scan() {
fmt.Println(scanner.Text())
}
if err := scanner.Err(); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
I built it with this command :
go build -buildmode=c-shared -o simpleread.so main.go
In case you're wondering what's the header output :
/* Created by "go tool cgo" - DO NOT EDIT. */
/* package command-line-arguments */
#line 1 "cgo-builtin-prolog"
#include <stddef.h> /* for ptrdiff_t below */

#define GO_CGO_EXPORT_PROLOGUE_H
typedef struct { const char *p; ptrdiff_t n; } _GoString_;
#endif
/* Start of preamble from import "C" comments. */
/* End of preamble from import "C" comments. */
/* Start of boilerplate cgo prologue. */
#line 1 "cgo-gcc-export-header-prolog"
#ifndef GO_CGO_PROLOGUE_H
#define GO_CGO_PROLOGUE_H
typedef signed char GoInt8;
typedef unsigned char GoUint8;

typedef char _check_for_64_bit_pointer_matching_GoInt[sizeof(void*)==64/8 ? 1:-1];
typedef _GoString_ GoString;
typedef void *GoMap;
typedef void *GoChan;
typedef struct { void *t; void *v; } GoInterface;
typedef struct { void *data; GoInt len; GoInt cap; } GoSlice;
#endif
/* End of boilerplate cgo prologue. */
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
extern void ReadSomething(GoString p0);
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
And then, below is how I call it via Node. I give the comment on the line where the error generated :
var ref = require("ref")
var ffi = require("ffi-napi")
var Struct = require("ref-struct")
var ArrayType = require("ref-array")
var LongArray = ArrayType(ref.types.longlong);
var GoString = Struct({
p: "string",
n: "longlong"
});
var simpleRead = ffi.Library("./simpleread.so", {
ReadSomething: ["void", [GoString]]
});
// error here, can't open the specified file
simpleRead.ReadSomething("/home/ivan/Documents/crashsite/node-go-crossfire/simpletext.txt")
I'm running it on Ubuntu 18.04 64bit.

Remember that strings in Go are like slices. They are composed of a pointer to the backing data and the length. This is why in your code, GoString
is defined as:
var GoString = Struct({
p: "string", // pointer
n: "longlong" // length
});
I'd recommend you define a function for creating a GoString
e.g.
function NewGoString(str) {
return new GoString({p: str, n: str.length})
}
Which you can use in your code like:
var simpleRead = ffi.Library("./simpleread.so", {
ReadSomething: ["void", [GoString]]
});
simpleRead.ReadSomething(NewGoString("/path/to/your/file"))
