Type overriding does not work for uuid, causes import conflict #1984
Description
Discussed in #1983
Originally posted by utkarshod December 4, 2022
I want to override the google uuid but when I try type overriding, it does not replace the google uuid but merely adds the new one to the imports of the models.go:
"github.com/gofrs/uuid"
"github.com/google/uuid"
This causes the following import error:
internal/queries/models.go:13:2: uuid redeclared in this block
internal/queries/models.go:11:2: other declaration of uuid
I've tried version 1 (as following), version 2 and column overriding and yet I am unable to get the google uuid to stop being imported. Note: Type overriding works for me for another db type, just not uuid.
packages:
- path: "internal/queries"
name: "queries"
engine: "postgresql"
schema: "data/schema.sql"
queries: "data/queries.sql"
emit_methods_with_db_argument: true
overrides:
- go_type: "github.com/gofrs/uuid.UUID"
db_type: "uuid"
This seems like a bug to me. Any suggestions / help would be greatly appreciated!

Can you provide the reproducible example?
Because the type overriding works https://play.sqlc.dev/p/26d5866a44400ad7b1a183cc8b43e4ecb691e76274fed0f01d7711a386b635e7
If you need use both packages, you can specify package alias:

@mcdoker18 thanks so much for the response! That helped.
The issue was that in my schema, I had one
uuidand oneuuid NOT NULL. And the latter was getting assigned the google uuid (example), resulting in 2 different uuid imports inmodels.go.But following your suggestion, I overrode both nullable and not nullable uuids like here, which solved the problem.
