number of options is more than 1

Error message

number of options is more than 1

What it means

Guard in parseOptions: it accepts zero options (default) or exactly one custom option, so passing two or more *Option values is a programming error. It fires at Dial time when the caller supplies more than one option argument.

Solutions

1. Pass at most one *Option to Dial; modify the single option's fields instead of passing several.
2. Use geerpc.DefaultOption when no customization is needed and omit options entirely.
3. Build one Option value that merges all desired settings before calling Dial.
