How do I make mockery return the same mock that has been called?

[floydjones1]

I want my mock to return the same mock because the actual implementation returns a new pointer to the same struct with new internal variables. Any help would be appreciated!

I get this error in my console:

This is the code being tested which adds to help explain this scienerio better:

This was an implementation error on my end closing 😅

Sounds good 👍🏻 This is a classic problem people have with chained method calls. Go does not support covariant return types. If your method returns *models.IncidentHistoryDiffDB, you have to return that concrete type, not an interface or any other implementation of the interface. This is a limitation of the language unfortunately.

It kind of makes sense though... because downstream code might expect to have access to your type's attributes (if it's a struct). You can't access attributes of the underlying type in an interface without using reflection.
