[Persistent] PersistBackend and the ErrorT monad
Max Cantor
I am trying to use an ErrorT monad inside some Persist code.
I wrote the following instance:
newtype OcrError = OE String
...
instance PersistBackend m => PersistBackend (ErrorT OcrError m) where
replace k v = lift $ replace k v
update k l = lift $ update k l
updateWhere f u = lift $ updateWhere f u
delete = lift . delete
insert = lift . insert
deleteBy = lift . deleteBy
deleteWhere = lift . deleteWhere
get = lift . get
getBy = lift . getBy
count = lift . count
selectKeys f = selectKeys f
selectEnum f o lim off = selectEnum f o lim off
It seems like there is a problem with selectEnum though.
In GHCI, this:
l :: [PersistKV OcrRefMap] <- rs $ selectEnum [] [] 0 0
works fine, while this:
l :: Either OcrError [PersistKV OcrRefMap] <- rs $ runErrorT $ selectEnum [] [] 0 0
hangs. rs is a small function to run persist calls:
rs :: (MonadControlIO m) => SqlPersist m a -> m a
rs f = do
let conn = DT.pack "user=hachicode password=password host=localhost port=5432 dbname=hachicode"
withPostgresqlConn conn $ runSqlConn f
and you need -XScopedTypeVariables for the ghci commands.
Any advice?
Thanks,
