go-client: cannot use a.Configuration.GetAPIKeyWithPrefix("apikey") (type string) as type []string in assignment

[loretoparisi]

When generating the go-client-generated.zip from editor.swagger.io I get several error in the generated code like

swagger/album_api.go:139: cannot use a.Configuration.GetAPIKeyWithPrefix("apikey") (type string) as type []string in assignment

due to a bad assign to []string literal of a string. I'm pretty new to go, so I'm not sure if this is due to a recent go compiler (See later).

Description

queryParams["apikey"] =  a.Configuration.GetAPIKeyWithPrefix("apikey")

Swagger-codegen version

I'm using

$ go version
go version go1.7.1 darwin/amd64

and latest swagger codegen from editor.swagger.io.

Swagger declaration file content or url

The file is available online at https://playground.musixmatch.com/swagger.json.

Command line used for generation

Steps to reproduce

1. import from url the swagger definition above in the Swagger Editor
2. Generate the Go client
3. Open README.md

   Suggest a Fix

The fix is to replace this assignment

queryParams["apikey"] =  a.Configuration.GetAPIKeyWithPrefix("apikey")

with

queryParams.Add("apikey",a.Configuration.GetAPIKeyWithPrefix("apikey"))

I have achieved this from this example of usage of url.Values{}.

@loretoparisi thanks for reporting the issue.

Welcome! I also suggest to add this example, that for go beginners like me, took half a day to complete it!

@loretoparisi I tried using Go version 1.7.1 on windows, I couldn't reproduce the compilation issue that you have, the function GetAPIKeyWithPrefix is only returning string, not []string, so i don't know what the issue is.

Closing this as there's no further update.
