IgnoreFields and nested struct

[Konstantin]

Hey there,
So I have this struct

type File struct {
Sources []*Source `json:"sources"`
}


type Source struct {
 UID string `json:"uid"
}

I need to ignore UID as it's dynamically generated

cmp.Equal(c.response, response, cmpopts.IgnoreFields(File{}, "UID"))

Is not doing anything. Is there a way to achieve this with this package?

Thanks!

Don't you mean cmpopts.IgnoreFields(Source, "UID)? as the "UID" field is declared on the Source type rather than the File type?
