eventlistener/event-listener.go not working as expected

[surajsprabhu]

On executing,
go run eventlistener/event-listener.go getting error as below:

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

goroutine 1 [running]:
main.reader(0x7f53414c4ff8, 0xc000010038)
        /home/saltuser/goworkspace/src/salt-golang/eventlistener/event-listener.go:17 +0x340
main.main()
        /home/saltuser/goworkspace/src/salt-golang/eventlistener/event-listener.go:38 +0x136
exit status 2

Added a condition to prevent this issue from occurring:

dec.Decode(&m1)
if len(m1) == 0 {
        continue
}
m1_1 := m1["body"].(string)

Once this condition is added, the error doesn't occur any more. However, the script simply keeps running and nothing is displayed even when a salt event is fired.

which version of salt are you running ? asking because I haven't tested on the latest version and they might have changed something.

[surajsprabhu]

It's salt 2015.5.10

I need to find some time to test with the version. listener is pretty simple and just unpacks from msgpack so I would suppose there is something wrong with salt version or with your msgpack library.

I'll try to find some time during the w/e to troubleshoot.
