The struct I am trying to initialize is:
And I'm trying to initialize a

All The StackOverflow posts I've seen with this error seem to be from nested structs. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.
Any idea why this happens?
The struct I am trying to initialize is:

cli.go will give this error if I just try to run go build on it, so I don't think it's the inputs I've been running it with.Any idea why this happens?
Solution
Fields that start with lower case characters are package internal and not exposed, If you want to reference the field from another package it needs to start with an upper case character, eg.
and then
package yelk
type PhoneOptions struct {
Phone string
Cc string
Lang string
}and then
number := os.Args[1]
phoneOptions := yelk.PhoneOptions{Phone: number}Code Snippets
package yelk
type PhoneOptions struct {
Phone string
Cc string
Lang string
}number := os.Args[1]
phoneOptions := yelk.PhoneOptions{Phone: number}Context
