  • Go users compare generated handles with the official semconv packages; names that repeat their package or the instrument kind read as foreign next to httpconv and trip Go's no-stutter convention.
  • Views, tests and samplers need the metric name, unit and description; exposing them on the instrument types the way httpconv does keeps those call sites from retyping strings that drift from the registry.

PR Summary

Medium Risk
Wide breaking API rename across all generated Go semconv code; collision checks may newly fail registries that previously compiled. Metric behavior is mostly additive aside from constructor wiring.

Overview
Aligns generated Go API names with official semconv packages by dropping redundant suffixes (Attr, Entity, Span, instrument kinds in type names) so types like myappattr.TaskID, NewHost, TaskDispatch, and NewTaskDuration read like upstream conventions. Option/helper types are renamed accordingly (e.g. HostAttr, TaskDurationAttr, TaskActiveObservable).

Extends generated metric wrappers with Name(), Unit(), Description() (zero-value safe) and Inst() for the underlying OpenTelemetry instrument; constructors register instruments using those methods instead of inlined registry strings.

Documents the new naming and metric introspection in templates/code/go/README.md and refreshes all golden test outputs. Adds generation-error fixtures for identifier clashes exposed by shorter names (e.g. a metric vs *.duration.attr, a span vs *.run.name, enum member vs attribute key).

This is a breaking change for anyone already using previously generated packages.

Walkthrough

The Go code-generation templates now produce shorter names for attributes, metrics, spans, and entities. Metric wrappers expose metadata and instrument accessors. Collision checks and expected outputs cover the revised names.

Changes

Go generated API names

Layer / File(s) Summary
Generated naming rules and collision checks
templates/code/go/*.go.j2, templates/code/go/weaver.yaml, templates/code/go/tests/error_*_collision/*
Templates remove suffixes from generated attribute, metric, span, and entity names. Metric constructors use metadata accessors. Collision checks and fixtures address generated identifier conflicts.
Attribute, entity, event, and span APIs
templates/code/go/tests/attributes/*, templates/code/go/tests/entities/*, templates/code/go/tests/events/*, templates/code/go/tests/spans/*, templates/code/go/tests/no_namespace/*, templates/code/go/tests/imported/expected/edgespan/*, templates/code/go/tests/imported_typed/expected/myappspan/*, templates/code/go/README.md
Expected outputs and examples use unsuffixed attribute and wrapper names. Entity, event, and span signatures refer to the revised types.
Metric APIs and metadata access
templates/code/go/metrics.go.j2, templates/code/go/tests/*/expected/*metric/*, metric-related attribute outputs, templates/code/go/README.md
Metric wrappers and constructors use shortened names. Synchronous and observable wrappers expose Name, Unit, Description, and Inst; constructors use wrapper metadata. Attribute parameters use the revised types.

A rabbit hops through names made neat,
With shorter types and calls to greet.
Metrics share their names with care,
Their units and descriptions there.
Span and entity labels shine,
Collision checks keep names in line.
I nibble clover, pleased with the design!
