Get Forced Variation

Returns (string, bool), representing the current forced variation for the argument experiment key and user ID. If no variation was previously set, returns "", false. Otherwise, returns the previously set variation key as the first return value, and true as the second return value.

Version

SDK v1.0 and higher

Description

Forced bucketing variations take precedence over whitelisted variations, variations saved in a User Profile Service (if one exists), and the normal bucketed variation. Variations are overwritten when Set Variation is invoked.

Parameters

This table lists the required parameters for the GO SDK.

Returns

(string, bool)

• The key of the currently set forced variation for the argument user and experiment, or an empty string if no forced variation is currently set
• true if a forced variation is currently set for the argument user and experiment, false otherwise

Example

Creating a client with Forced Variation service:

overrideStore := decision.NewMapExperimentOverridesStore()
client, err := optimizelyFactory.Client(
       client.WithExperimentOverrides(overrideStore),
)

Using Forced Variation service Get Variation:

overrideKey := decision.ExperimentOverrideKey{ExperimentKey: "test_experiment", UserID: "test_user"}
variation, success := overrideStore.GetVariation(overrideKey)
