How can I list KV folders using the golang client?

Vault
1

Using the UI I have created some secrets under the networks/production/SpaceA and networks/production/SpaceB folders.

I have managed to read individual secrets using the golang client successfully.

However, I’m struggling to list the folders. Basically, I’m trying to make a call that returns both the SpaceA and SpaceB folders.

I have tried multiple variations of Logical().List("secrets/secret/networks/production/") with no luck.

The

part of the path is probably incorrect, but to know for sure we would need to know whether you are using KV version 1 or 2, and what path in Vault the KV engine is mounted at.

I am using the 1.11.0 docker image with the default config. I suspect that it comes with KV version 2.

This is how the folders that I’m trying to list show up in the UI.

Then, what you actually need is

Logical().List("secret/metadata/networks/production/")

The URL structure of the KV v2 secret engine is fairly complex - you will need some time studying the API docs to relate UI features to the URLs involved.
