minimax tts: marshal request: %w

Error message

minimax tts: marshal request: %w

What it means

This error is returned by the MiniMax TTS Synthesize method when json.Marshal fails to serialize the T2A v2 request body. Since the request body is built from a map[string]any of plain strings/numbers, this failure is extremely rare and would indicate a programmer error or a non-marshalable value injected into the request map rather than a runtime/user problem.

Solutions

  1. Audit any modified code that adds values to the reqBody map for non-JSON-serializable types
  2. Convert dynamic values to JSON-safe types (string, float64, bool, nested maps) before adding them
  3. If marshaling complex options, use typed structs with json tags instead of map[string]any

Example fix

// before
reqBody["voice_modifier"] = someFunc // not marshalable
// after
reqBody["voice_modifier"] = someFuncName // string value

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Only if the request body map contains a value json.Marshal cannot encode (e.g. a channel, func, or cyclic value placed into reqBody after a code change). The current hardcoded map cannot trigger it.

Common situations: Essentially never seen in production; encountered only after custom modifications that inject dynamic values (e.g. plugin-supplied voice params) into the request body.
