Scala monads - "value map is not a member of" error


I have created a simple trait and service:

@finalAlg
@autoFunctorK(true)
trait BettingService[F[_]] {    
  def put(bet: Bet): F[Bet]
}

class BettingServiceMock[F[_] : Async] extends BettingService[F] {
  override def put(bet: Bet): F[Bet] = {
    val id = randomUUID().toString
    for {
      created <- Bet(BetId(id), bet.stake, bet.name)
    } yield created
  }
}

Bet and BetId are case classes:

case class Bet(betId: BetId, stake: BigDecimal, name: String)

case class BetId(betId: String) extends AnyVal

When I ran this program, I got an error: Error:(12, 21) value map is not a member of model.Bet <- Bet(BetId(id), bet.stake, bet.name) It is something strange for me - why I cannot return good type from for-comprehension? The idea of this is to return same object as given as parameter, but with random id.

I thought that maybe I need instance of new Bet class, but then I could not return it as F[_] as I think.


Solution

  • Bet(BetId(id), bet.stake, bet.name) is of type Bet but expected type is F[Bet].

    Try

    import cats.syntax.functor._
    
    for {
      created <- Applicative[F].pure(Bet(BetId(id), bet.stake, bet.name))
    } yield created
    

    or

    import cats.syntax.functor._
    import cats.syntax.applicative._
    
    for {
      created <- Bet(BetId(id), bet.stake, bet.name).pure
    } yield created
    

    or

    Applicative[F].pure(Bet(BetId(id), bet.stake, bet.name))
    

    or

    import cats.syntax.applicative._
    
    Bet(BetId(id), bet.stake, bet.name).pure
