Embedded struct support not backward compat with time.Time

[prenagha]

I use the MySql driver from go-sql-driver with the parseTime option. This lets me define fields in structs as time.Time and the driver gets the data loaded properly. Example struct:

type Session struct {
    Id     string
    UserId uint64
    Expire time.Time
}

I have been using sqlx for a few months with no trouble. I recently updated to the latest version of sqlx that has the embedded struct support and now this type of setup no longer works. I suspect it is because time.Time implements scanner and causes sqlx to think it is an embedded struct (which of course it is). In the end I get an error like "Could not find name expire in interface"

Trying to figure out how to properly model this and get it working in conjunction with my mysql driver. Any help would be appreciated.

I think I might just special case time.Time as iirc the lib/pq driver also allows scanning into one.

Thanks. Let me know if you need help testing.

I think I'm still seeing this in the newest code. I can submit a pull request which illustrates the case. Adding another field to the Person model causes failure if it's time.Time but succeeds if you make it use strings (at least using pq). Would that be helpful?

This is a duplicate of #29 which has an associated PR, so I'm closing this in favor of that.
