GoLang - types from different scopes

If you are getting an error like:

interface conversion: interface {} is *purchase.User, not *purchase.User (types from different scopes)

It appears that you are sending the correct type since the expected and actual type in the error message are exactly the same.

Alternate cause for this: you have somehow imported the package twice, with two different import paths. This is unlikely to be seen except in unusual circumstances (AST code rewriters, non-standard vendoring, etc).

If you are importing the same package with different paths, there is a very good chance that you're doing something very wrong. Stop it :P

You may have created another type pointing to the *purchase.User in another package (purchase2) and that is the type your method is looking into receiving but you are sending (purchase.User)

For example:

in purchase package

type User struct {
    firstName string
    lastName string
}

in purchase2 package

import purchase

type User purchase.User

Check which type are you referring to.
