by ADMIN 55 views

Introduction

The OpenTelemetry Collector is a powerful tool for collecting and exporting telemetry data from applications. However, when generating logs tests using the mdatagen command, some packages may be undefined, leading to errors. In this article, we will explore the issue of undefined packages for generated logs tests and provide a solution to resolve the problem.

Component(s)

The issue is related to the cmd/mdatagen component of the OpenTelemetry Collector.

What Happened?

Describe the Bug

When running the go generate ./... command and then running go test, the generated logs test files do not include some used packages in the imports section. This results in undefined packages errors.

Error: internal/metadata/generated_logs_test.go:43:47: undefined: time
Error: internal/metadata/generated_logs_test.go:48:9: undefined: plog
Error: internal/metadata/generated_logs_test.go:49:48: undefined: time (typecheck)

Steps to Reproduce

To reproduce the issue, follow these steps:

  1. Receiver that supports logs signal type: Make sure you have a receiver that supports the logs signal type.
  2. go generate ./...: Run the go generate ./... command to generate the logs test files.
  3. go test: Run the go test command to execute the generated logs tests.

What Did You Expect to See?

You expected to see no errors when running the go test command.

What Did You See Instead?

You saw undefined packages errors when running the go test command.
