Cannot generate dataloader with target type 'time.Time'

[vanjiii]

What I am trying to do:

Generate a dataloader with target type time.Time. Example given: //go:generate dataloaden fooLoader int *time.Time

What happen:

Generating fails with:

➜  go-test go generate ./...                                                                                                                                                                             16:31:36

/home/vanjiii/dev/src/junk/go-test/fooloader_gen.go:7:2:        other declaration of time
exit status 1
main.go:10: running "go": exit status 1

The generated file fooloader_gen.go

// Code generated by github.com/vektah/dataloaden, DO NOT EDIT.

package main

import (
	"sync"
	"time"

	"time"
)
// rest of file...

What is expected

The generation to complete.

Workaround

• Create a wrapper type:

type Time struct {
    time.Time
}

• Generate the dataloader with the newly created type: //go:generate dataloaden fooLoader int *Time
