I noticed that when I use a struct consisting of both public and private members, then the private ones are not copied(?) by Cadence activities.
For example I have a struct:
package foo
type Foo struct {
Name string
PublicList []string
privateList []string
}
func NewFoo() *Foo {
return &Foo{
Name: "Test",
PublicList: []string{"A", "B", "C"},
privateList: []string{"one", "two"},
}
}
func (f *Foo) ShowLists() {
fmt.Println("PublicList: ", f.PublicList, ", privateList: ", f.privateList)
}
I also use other struct, registered as activities struct:
package activities
type FooActivities struct{}
func (a *FooActivities) NewFoo(ctx context.Context) (*foo.Foo, error) {
return foo.NewFoo(), nil
}
func (a *FooActivities) ShowLists(ctx context.Context, f *foo.Foo) error {
f.ShowLists()
return nil
}
My workflow calls these two activities in a following way:
var f *foo.Foo
workflow.ExecuteActivity(ctx, fooActivities.NewFoo).Get(ctx, &f)
workflow.ExecuteActivity(ctx, fooActivities.ShowLists, f).Get(ctx, nil)
The result, printed by ShowLists function:
PublicList: [A B C] , privateList: []
Why is the private list not initialized as expected? Is this a bug or feature? I couldn't find answer for this question in the Cadence documentation.
