Question

In Python it’s

q = db.Query()
q.ancestor(ancestor_key)

I tried:

q := datastore.NewQuery("")
q.Ancestor(ancestor_key)

I get the error “datastore: empty kind” when running GetAll

I also tried:

q := &datastore.Query{}
q.Ancestor(ancestor_key)

I get the error “datastore: empty query kind”

Thanks in advance for any help with this matter.

Rich Churcher’s comment seems to be right, at least at this point in time.

I don’t think the Python kindless ancestor query is supported in Go.
For a moment there I thought you could use the ancestor key’s Kind()
method, then I had some more coffee and came to my senses.
