Description
We're using go-netbox (github.com/netbox-community/go-netbox/v3 v3.4.5) in our go program. We are trying to list Interfaces using the function Dcim.DcimInterfacesList.
Our code to do this is:
func (nb netboxapi) getInterfacesFromDevice(deviceID int64) error {
// create a string to be used on API call for the deviceID
devID := fmt.Sprintf("%d", deviceID)
// call API to get Interfaces for this device
list, err := nb.Dcim.DcimInterfacesList(&dcim.DcimInterfacesListParams{
Context: context.Background(),
DeviceID: &devID,
}, nil)
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("can't get Interfaces from Device %d, error is:\n\t-> %s", deviceID, err)
}
... more code ...
return nil
}The error is the following:
json: cannot unmarshal object into Go struct field Interface.results.link_peers of type string
I looked at the API by querying our Netbox instance at api/dcim/interfaces/?device_id=2345 which returns the following (truncated to only show link_peers)
...
"link_peers": [
{
"id": 1234,
"url": "https://abc.def.ghi/api/dcim/interfaces/1234/",
"display": "ge-0/0/8",
"device": {
"id": 2345,
"url": "https://netbox-test.ps-intern.de/api/dcim/devices/2345/",
"display": "xxxxxxxx",
"name": "xxxxxxxx"
},
"name": "ge-0/0/8",
"cable": 3456,
"_occupied": true
}
]
...Looking at the code for go-netbox it looks like the expected return value is of type []*string

This does not seem to coincide with the actual json response coming from netbox (tested both on netbox 3.3.10, as well as 3.4.5).
The source code for netbox also doesn't seem to use a []*string at that location
