Description

Using 2 separate apps, within a monorepo, I connect through GORM to the same Postgres DB with different DB users into different schemas.

  • In the first app I have the User model with schema1.Users table
  • In the 2nd I have the Task model with schema2.Tasks table
type User struct {
 gorm.Model
}

type Task struct {
 gorm.Model
 CreatedBy uint
 User User `gorm:"foreignKey:CreatedBy;references:User"`
}

When I try to run the 2nd API, the migrations create a Users table in schema2 and connects the foreign key there.

If I use the struct below I get an error

type Task struct {
 gorm.Model
 CreatedBy uint
 User User `gorm:"foreignKey:CreatedBy;references:schema1.User"`
}

[error] invalid field found for struct github.com/xyz/models.Tasks's field User: define a valid foreign key for relations or implement the Valuer/Scanner interface
