[golang] go-ini overwrite from struct

[Zalosath]

Hi,

I'm working with go-ini and golang (still relatively new to golang as a whole, but getting to grips with it). I have this function:
 

func SaveSettings(filePathToLoadFrom string, overrideUseConfig bool) error {

	ini.PrettyFormat = false

	filePath := filepath.Join(s.path, "path.ini")
	err := ensureFilePath(filePath)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}

	gIni, err := ini.LoadSources(iniOpts, filePathToLoadFrom)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}

	if overrideUseConfig {
		err = gIni.MapTo(&s.GSettings)
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
	}

	err = gIni.ReflectFrom(&s.GSettings)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}

	gIni.Append([]byte(s.additionalValues))

	err = gIni.SaveTo(filepath.Join(s.path, "path.ini"))
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}

	return nil
}

Where iniopts is:

var iniOpts = ini.LoadOptions{
	AllowShadows: false,
}

 

This is creating a problem though. ReflectFrom isn't overwriting the settings, it just ignores them, this only happens if the AllowShadows flag is set to false, which is expected. How can I change this behaviour so it overwrites the data in gIni without creating duplicates?

Solved, 

gIni.Append([]byte(s.additionalValues))

was the problem. The Append function has a bug (https://github.com/go-ini/ini/issues/324) that causes the problem.
