Hi, whenever I try to apply make test, the following appears:

flag provided but not defined: -u
Usage of id:
  -in string
        path to NodeIds.csv (default "schema/NodeIds.csv")
  -out string
        path to generated file (default "id/id_gen.go")
flag provided but not defined: -g
Usage of id:
  -in string
        path to NodeIds.csv (default "schema/NodeIds.csv")
  -out string
        path to generated file (default "id/id_gen.go")
Running tests:
build github.com/MartinHeinz/go-project-blueprint/cmd/blueprint: cannot load github.com/alecthomas/template: open /src/vendor/github.com/alecthomas/template: no such file or directory
make: *** [test] Error 1

It seems like some command underneath is using wrong flags. (this is just a warning)
But, the process ends with failure because it is assuming the user had installed dependencies with go mod vendor. Maybe you should add that step to prevent that.

Hi!

I love your article series on the ultimate Golang project structure, and it gives a good overview on how to implement a nice structure for building api services in Golang. However, I feel like the blueprint repo lacks something to make the articles more useful, and showing off how the structure could help one create more powerful services.

An example is Services where you say one could do more filtering, but all you show is calling the Get method of the UserDAO, which makes it feel like it's not really useful. What I think would really help showing off how powerful this structure could be, is creating a full Create, Read, Update, Delete for a user api, utilising all the functionality you describe in the article.

Any discussion is of course opinionated, but I'm typically using:

• golangci-lint
• goreleaser
• and sometimes seihon (multi-arch docker builder)

I like your blueprint. I know the purpose of the blueprint is not about config but I think there is an issue in your viper usage. Without changing anything I created an image make container OS=linux, then I tried to create a docker container but I run to the following error.

panic: interface conversion: interface {} is nil, not string

goroutine 1 [running]:
github.com/bdarge/go-project-blueprint/cmd/blueprint/config.LoadConfig(0xc000161110, 0x1, 0x1, 0xcbc689, 0x2)
	/src/cmd/blueprint/config/config.go:37 +0x59f
main.main()
	/src/cmd/blueprint/main.go:39 +0x85

I guess one can do Config.DSN = v.Get("DSN").(string) only after config has read. I may be wrong.
