Description Sven Efftinge

2011-04-18 03:00:30 EDT

for the expression 

myList.sort( e | e.toString )

I got a marker about a static methods are not allowed.
However, the problem is an incompatible argument (a comparator is expected)

I have renamed sortBy to sort in the library. So the example doesn't work anymore :-)
But the problem is still there.

Comment 2 Sven Efftinge

forget my last comment. The function is still named 'sortBy' and the problem can therefore reproduced like described in the initial comment.

Comment 3 Sebastian Zarnekow

Preliminary scheduled for 2.0RC1

Comment 4 Sven Efftinge

postponed to SR1

Comment 5 Sven Efftinge

not 2.1

Comment 6 Dennis Huebner

With the given example and the actual state I got the following marker:

Incompatible types. Expected Comparator<? super Object> but was (Object)=>String


def test343091() {
	val myList = newArrayList()
	myList.sort( e | e.toString )//ERROR
}

Comment 7 Dennis Huebner

Was fixed in the meantime
