*basic.BasicHost does not implement host.Host

[darmie]

I am having a type error while following the examples:

package main

// package host

import (
	"crypto/rand"

	crypto "github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-crypto"
	peer "github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-peer"
	pstore "github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-peerstore"

	"context"

	host "github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-host"
	ma "github.com/multiformats/go-multiaddr"

	swarm "github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-swarm"
	bhost "github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p/p2p/host/basic"
)

func genHost() host.Host {
	// Generate an identity keypair using go's cryptographic randomness source
	priv, pub, err := crypto.GenerateEd25519Key(rand.Reader)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// A peers ID is the hash of its public key
	pid, err := peer.IDFromPublicKey(pub)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// We've created the identity, now we need to store it.
	// A peerstore holds information about peers, including your own
	ps := pstore.NewPeerstore()
	ps.AddPrivKey(pid, priv)
	ps.AddPubKey(pid, pub)

	// Make address

	maddr, err := ma.NewMultiaddr("/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/9000")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Make a context to govern the lifespan of the swarm
	ctx := context.Background()

	// Put all this together
	netw, err := swarm.NewNetwork(ctx, []ma.Multiaddr{maddr}, pid, ps, nil)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	return bhost.New(netw)

	// //host := libp2p.

	// fmt.Printf("my address: %s\n", netw.ListenAddresses()[0].String())

	// hostID := netw.LocalPeer().Loggable()["peerID"]

	// fmt.Printf("my host ID: %s\n", hostID)
	// fmt.Println("is equal? ", pid.Loggable()["peerID"] == hostID)
}

How do I fix this?

Here's how to fix it:

1. cd $HOME/go/src/github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p
2. copy the content of gxDependencies in package.json
3. run gx init in directory where your project is
4. open package.json and paste the dependencies from previous step in the gxDependencies
