Any idea how to make kapt (http4k-connect) generate the right return type ? I changed form Result<R. RemoteFailure> to Result<R, Response> but it keeps generating the extension action function with RemoteFailure. Cleaned hole project but still fails with:

Type mismatch: inferred type is Result<LineAidResponse /* = Map<String, String> */, Response> but Result<Map<String, String>, RemoteFailure> was expected

[dave]

ah - at the moment it's hardcoded to RemoteFailure. We'll have to fix that

[dave]

for the moment, take a copy of the Http4kConnectAdapterProcessor and fix it up manually?

[Razvan]

The problem I had with RemoteFailure is that it requires the app that uses the connecter to add connect-core as dependency if it wants to pass the response to another function.... Wouldn't be useful RemoteFailure in http4k-core ?

[dave]

can the other app see the Action interface?

[dave]

they're in the same place.

[dave]

basically there might also be a problem with the dependencies (which we can fix)..

[Razvan]

No the app does not have dependency to the connect-core where Action is. Just to the specific connector I made. I can access the response's members via response.reason but just can't pass it to other function (I can workaround by creating another object that uses the response.reason members).

[dave]

I've fixed the Http4kConnectAdapterProcessor so it doesn't hardcode the result and you are free to vary the result type as you wish.

@Razvan v2.14.1.0 is releasing right now with that change so hopefully that will unblock you.

[Razvan]

Thanks that's fast. Wasn't true the fact that I can access RemoteFailure members without... I can from ide but does not build as depency is missing. Thanks a lot

[Razvan]

Another question about connect can't the kapt plugin n use the version from the bom ?

kapt("org.http4k:http4k-connect-kapt-generator:2.14.1.0")

if I don't set the version it fails with

> Could not find org.http4khttp4k connect kapt generator.

[dave]

I don't know why it doesn't work with teh kapt method...

[dave]

the release is finally running... after a bunch of hassle.

[dave]

should be available in a few minutes in jcenter

[Razvan]

Thank you ! Works as expected.
