I'm trying to initialize a golang struct with an embedded template. Since templates have no fields, I would expect that assigning the correct number of variables to a constructor would work, but instead the compiler complains that

main.go:17:19: too few values in struct initializer

package main

import "fmt"

type TestTemplate interface {
    Name() string
}

type TestBase struct {
    name       string

    TestTemplate
}

func New(name string) *TestBase {
    return &TestBase{name} // This fails
    //return &TestBase{name: name} // This works
}

func (v *TestBase) Name() string {
    return v.name
}

func main() {
    fmt.Println(New("Hello"))
}
