I am currently working on a task and I am stuck. We use unleash and have default, development and production environment but we only use default. While connecting to unleash using golang, we don’t specify the environment.

I have to change it such that we can connect for different environments and use it for testing.

I found this function .withEnvironment in unleash go client which can be used to set environment.

err := unleash.Initialize(
        unleash.WithAppName("appName"),
        unleash.WithListener(&unleashListener.CustomListener{}),
        unleash.WithUrl(url),
        unleash.WithCustomHeaders(http.Header{"Authorization": {authToken}}),
        unleash.WithStrategies(&strategy.<StrategyName>{}),
        unleash.WithEnvironment(env),
    )

I have a strategy in default with which I am testing and I have no strategies in development environment. I made an api call which would use unleash to make call 1 if unleash configuration is enabled and make call 2 if it’s not.

Now, because while connecting, I set the environment as development, it should have made call 2 because there is no strategy in development let alone the strategy for which we are checking at that point.

I’m not sure why this is happening.

I also saw that when we are checking if the strategy is enabled or not, in context, we can also setup environment and while running a debugger, it’s completely skipping the environment part.

func featureToggle(userID int64, language string) bool {
    bucketId := userID % 100

    ctx := unleashContext.Context{
        Environment: "development",
        Properties: map[string]string{
            "bucketId": strconv.FormatInt(int64(bucketId), 10),
            "language": language,
        },
    }

    return unleash.IsEnabled("project.featureToggle", unleash.WithContext(ctx))
}

I’m not sure how to do this. Can someone help me with this?

Tried setting environment while creating a connection to unleash
