Because Or
has two types, but the Bad
factory method only takes a value of the “bad” type, the Scala compiler will
infer Nothing
for the Good
type:
scala> Bad("oops") res1: org.scalactic.Bad[Nothing,String] = Bad(oops)
Often Nothing
will work fine, as it will be widened as soon as the compiler encounters a more specific Good
type.
Sometimes, however, you may need to specify it. In such situations you can use this factory method, like this:
scala> Good[Int].orBad("oops") res3: org.scalactic.Bad[Int,String] = Bad(oops)
Companion object for
Good
that offers, in addition to the standard factory method forGood
that takes single “good” type, an parameterless apply used to narrow theGood
type when creating aBad
.
