I am a beginner with turtles, and I don't know how to work them. I am trying to make a program where the turtle sucks up an item, and if it is a gold ingot, it runs some code. But if it is not, it runs different code. This is my attempt on how to do what I want, but it failed.

rednet.open("left")
suck = turtle.suck()
gold = "minecraft:gold_ingot"
if suck == true then
  count,name,damage = turtle.getItemDetail()
  if name == gold then
	print("YES!")
  else
	print("no!")
  end
else
  print("false")
end

I would like some help ASAP.
Thank you!

describe how it failed, did it think everything is gold? nothing is gold? was there an error message produced?

It thought that nothing was gold. Sorry, I should've said that in the post.

detail is equal to nil, you should be using name in your if statement

Okay, I fixed that, but it still comes up with the same problem.

the count and name vars are the wrong way round, turtle.getItemDetails returns name first , followed by count and then damage
