Hello, in the code below I'm expecting .getOrHandle to return List<ContractorTas> , however compiler thinks there is List<Any>. What am I doing wrong?

[simon.vergauwen]

I think you want getOrElse here, no?

[rcd27]

What's the difference between those two? I thought handle is for handling errors, Left case

[simon.vergauwen]

Strange, can you share the whole snippet?

[rcd27]

Sure, mate

Sorry, I was mistaken after checking the signature. getOrHandle is indeed what you want

[rcd27]

parZip reifies <B>?

[simon.vergauwen]

No

[simon.vergauwen]

What signature does getContractorsTasks have?

[simon.vergauwen]

suspend fun t(): Either<ApiError, List<ContractorTask>> ?

[rcd27]

exactly

[simon.vergauwen]

That’s super strange.

[simon.vergauwen]

Can you capture the values and explicitly type them and see what the error is?

[rcd27]

what do you mean by "capturing the valuse"?

[Youssef Shoaib [MOD]]

Maybe also try placing your cursor on getOrHandle and pressing Alt+Enter -> "Specify type parameters explicitly" in Intellij to see what type params the compiler is inferring

[simon.vergauwen]

parZip(
 {
   val tasks: Either<ApiError, List<ContractorTasks>> = taskInteractor.getContractorTasks()
  val x: ? = tasks.getOrHandle { }
   x
 }, ...

[rcd27]

got it

@simon.vergauwen my bad, Simon. I forgot, I mapped ContractorTask-> ContractorTaskViewObject , I'm sorry, for taking your time

[simon.vergauwen]

No worries! Glad it’s working fine for you 🙂

It's all @Jorge Castillo fault: I'm reading his book about Compose, during doing my job 😄
