Converting a Task[Throwable \/ T] into a Task[T]

[Edmondo Porcu]

Hello,

is there an idiomatic approach to create a task from a function with signature Throwable \/ T ?

I am using scalaz.streams and I found myself having a Process[Task, Throwable \/ T ] which is very inconvenient

Thank you

Edmondo

wouldn't you lose information?

[Edmondo Porcu]

A Task[T] is a scalaz.Future[Throwable \/ T], so I thought it would make sense not to duplicate the failure?

Use flatMap in conjunction with Task.fail

I'm not sure it's idiomatic, but new Task[T](Future(f)) always works for me:

import scalaz.\/
import scalaz.concurrent.{Future, Task}

def toTask[T](trier: => Throwable \/ T): Task[T] = new Task[T](Future(trier))
