go-swagger not generating model info - go

Question

Here is my simple rest service:
// Package classification User API.

// the purpose of this application is to provide an application
// that is using plain go code to define an API
//
// This should demonstrate all the possible comment annotations
// that are available to turn go code into a fully compliant swagger 2.0 spec
//
// Terms Of Service:
//
// there are no TOS at this moment, use at your own risk we take no responsibility

Now when I'm executing :
swagger generate spec -o ./swagger.json
to generate the json spec I'm getting:
{

"produces": ["application/json", "application/xml"],
"schemes": ["http", "https"],
"swagger": "2.0",
"info": {

"termsOfService": "there are no TOS at this moment, use at your own risk we take no responsibility",

},
"422": {
"$ref": "#/responses/validationError"
},
"default": {
"$ref": "#/responses/genericError"
}
}
}
}
},
"definitions": {}
}
Note that my definitions are empty, not sure why.
If I paste the same json spec in http://editor.swagger.io/#/
It says
Error
Object
message: "options.definition is required"
code: "UNCAUGHT_SWAY_WORKER_ERROR"
Any directions on what is the right way to generate swagger documentation would help

Answer 1

It's because go-swagger can't detect the usage of your definitions. I made the assumption that you'd always have a struct describing the parameters and that those would always use the definitions that are in use.
It would be great if you could submit this question as an issue on the repo with your sample program. I'll add it to my tests.
