[cod3rboy]

Environment

OS: Zorin OS 18.1
Go: 1.26.3
Belve: v2.6.0

Description

• Go program compilation fails with the following error logs when using the package github.com/blevesearch/bleve/v2.
• Upon inspection, it indicates implementation for BoundingBox method is missing for certain types in the github.com/blevesearch/geo/geojson dependency package.

Replication Steps

1. Initialize new go module
2. Run go get github.com/blevesearch/bleve/v2@v2.6.0
3. Create the main.go file with the code below:

package main

import (
	"log"

	"github.com/blevesearch/bleve/v2"
	"github.com/blevesearch/bleve/v2/mapping"
)

type Document struct {
	Name        string `json:"name"`
	Description string `json:"desc"`
}

func main() {
	// Define mapping
	idxMapping := mapping.NewIndexMapping()
	nameFieldMapping := mapping.NewTextFieldMapping()
	descFieldMapping := mapping.NewTextFieldMapping()
	idxMapping.DefaultMapping = mapping.NewDocumentMapping()
	idxMapping.DefaultMapping.AddFieldMappingsAt("name", nameFieldMapping)
	idxMapping.DefaultMapping.AddFieldMappingsAt("desc", descFieldMapping)

	// Create new index
	idx, err := bleve.New("test.belve", idxMapping)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Create a document
	doc := Document{
		Name:        "Document A",
		Description: "This is the description for document A",
	}

	// Index the document
	if err := idx.Index("document-1", doc); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Success
	log.Println("Successfully indexed document!")
}

4. Build or run the main.go file.

go build main.go

or

go run main.go

Expected Behavior

The main.go file should compile or run without any errors.

Actual Behavior

Compilation fails and errors are encountered (shared above in error logs).

hello! i ran the steps that you've provided, and i don't see any bulid errors and running the main.go gives me

2026/08/10 10:38:57 Successfully indexed document!

just checking with you, can you try running a go mod tidy and see if the error still occurs? if possible, can you also provide your go.mod file so that we can pinpoint the dependency issue?

[cod3rboy]

Still not compiling for me @Thejas-bhat .
Try update dependencies through go get -u github.com/blevesearch/bleve/v2 and then run go run main.go.

Here is my go.mod file:

module test-bleve

yeah that would update the dependencies independently and we're currently working on a release (2.6.1) shortly that will contain all those changes.
i would suggest keeping the dependencies to the versions that are associated with 2.6.0 release and not update them independently right till 2.6.1 is released.

I am also seeing this issue and await 2.6.1 release
