Why does this code fail to compile? Playground
pub trait Dataset {}
pub trait Property {
type Value;
fn value<D: Dataset>(_ds: D) -> Self::Value
where
Self: DatasetProperty<D>;
}
pub trait DatasetProperty<D>
where
Self: Property,
D: Dataset,
{
}
impl<T> Property for T {
type Value = String;
fn value<D: Dataset>(_ds: D) -> Self::Value
where
Self: DatasetProperty<D>,
{
String::new()
}
}
This errors with:
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> src/lib.rs:23:9
|
18 | type Value = String;
| -------------------- expected this associated type
19 | fn value<D: Dataset>(_ds: D) -> Self::Value
| ----------- expected `<T as Property>::Value` because of return type
...
23 | String::new()
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected associated type, found struct `std::string::String`
|
= note: expected associated type `<T as Property>::Value`
found struct `std::string::String`
The error points to line 18 where the associated type is set to String, but then it's saying String was not expected. This code works if I remove the where clause in the value function.
