The error "template: X is not defined" occurs because the template engine cannot find a definition for the variable or function named X in the provided template or data context. Ensure that the variable X is passed to the template execution function (e.g., Execute or ExecuteTemplate) within the data structure, or that the function is registered via FuncMap if it is a custom function.
// Ensure 'X' exists in the data map passed to Execute
data := map[string]interface{}{
"X": "defined value",
}
err := tmpl.Execute(w, data)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
If X is a custom function, register it before parsing:
funcMap := template.FuncMap{
"X": func() string { return "result" },
}
tmpl := template.Must(template.New("name").Funcs(funcMap).Parse("{{X}}"))
