Panic When Calling runtime.OpenDirectoryDialog

[KiddoV]

What am I doing wrong here?
In GO:

func (a *App) OpenDirectoryDialog(dialogOptions interface{}) (string, error) {
	directoryPath, err := runtime.OpenDirectoryDialog(a.ctx, runtime.OpenDialogOptions{
		DefaultDirectory: fmt.Sprintf("%v", dialogOptions.(map[string]interface{})["defaultDirectory"]),
		Title:            fmt.Sprintf("%v", dialogOptions.(map[string]interface{})["title"]),
	})
	if err != nil {
		return "", fmt.Errorf("failed opening dialog - %s", err.Error())
	}
	return directoryPath, nil
}

In JS:

window.go.main.App.OpenDirectoryDialog({
    defaultDirectory: "C:/",
    title: "Please select a folder to save Top and Bot CAD files..."
}).then(path => {
    //returned path
}).catch(err => {
    //Got ERR
});

I go PANIC when calling window.go.main.App.OpenDirectoryDialog in JS!!

Please help!

[leaanthony]

Try passing the values instead of the interface

[stffabi]

Can you please try using c:\ as defaultdirectory path?

func (a *App) OpenDirDialog() (string, error) { //No param
	directoryPath, err := runtime.OpenDirectoryDialog(a.ctx, runtime.OpenDialogOptions{
		DefaultDirectory: "C:\\",
		Title:            "Test Title",
	})
	if err != nil {
		return "", fmt.Errorf("failed opening dialog - %s", err.Error())
	}
	return directoryPath, nil
}

[KiddoV]

@stffabi wow, thanks it works. Didn't know that C:\\ will make it different

[stffabi]

Was just a wild guess 😄 , because Windows uses \ as path separator. Nevertheless it should not panic and return an error in such cases.

[KiddoV]

Does filepath.Join() will handle such wrong input file path?

[KiddoV]

Ok I just answered it myself.... filepath.Join() will handle the input nicely!

Thanks guys!
