db tag not working. Column name becomes ",size:50" for field Title string db:",size:50"

[vinceyuan]

I am new to gorp and following the QuickStart. I found db tag is not working. The column for field Title becomes ,size:50 instead of Title. The column for field Body becomes article_body,size:1024 instead of article_body. My dev env: OS X Yosemite, golang 1.5.

type Post struct {
    // db tag lets you specify the column name if it differs from the struct field
    Id      int64  `db:"post_id"`
    Created int64
    Title   string `db:",size:50"`               // Column size set to 50
    Body    string `db:"article_body,size:1024"` // Set both column name and size
}

sqlite> .schema posts
CREATE TABLE "posts" ("post_id" integer not null primary key autoincrement, "Created" integer, ",size:50" varchar(255), "article_body,size:1024" varchar(255));

The size feature is only available on the development branch. If you feel adventurous, try

import "github.com/go-gorp/gorp"

@qrawl I suggest we modify the Quickstart, because new users like me do not know this rule. They just follow the steps in README but find the code does not work as expected. Thanks.

You are right. This was meant to be a transitory condition. This should be addressed soon.
