Trouble with DateTimeField

[Daniel Eggert]

I'm new to Rogue and relatively new to Scala.

I'm confused by a compilation error I'm seeing related DateTimeField. I'm not sure what's going on. This code

class FooBar extends BsonRecord[FooBar] {

def meta = FooBar

object foo extends StringField(this, 100)

object bar extends DateTimeField(this)

}

object FooBar extends FooBar with BsonMetaRecord[FooBar] {

def baz: FooBar = {

val r: FooBar = FooBar.createRecord.foo("abc").bar(new DateTime())

return r

}

}

Generates this error:

[error]  type mismatch;

[error]  found   : Any

[error]  required: api.model.FooBar

[error] val r: FooBar = FooBar.createRecord.foo("abc").bar(new DateTime())

[error]                                                  ^

When I change the line to

val r: FooBar = FooBar.createRecord.bar(new DateTime()).foo("abc")

I get

[error] value foo is not a member of Any

[error] val r: FooBar = FooBar.createRecord.bar(new DateTime()).foo("abc")

[error]                                                        ^

I'm at loss what's going on here. Thanks in advance for any help.

Is your DateTime a org.joda.time.DateTime? I believe DateTimeField wants a java.util.Date, so try

.bar(new DateTime().toDate)

[Daniel Eggert]

Sadly that doesn't help. Somehow FooBar.createRecord.bar(new DateTime().toDate) returns an "Any":

[error] /Users/deggert/Projects/Umzugsagenten/webserver/app/api/model/User.scala:36: value foo is not a member of Any

[error] val r: FooBar = FooBar.createRecord.bar(new DateTime().toDate).foo("abc")

[error]                                                               ^

What package is DateTimeField from?

This is really a lift-specific issue, you could try asking on the lift mailing list too if you want.

Yes, I figured it out. This was lift-specific and related to a mess with my import statements.

Thanks for the help!

And I had to switch to using toGregorianCalendar like so

    val l = LogEntry.createRecord.text(value).date(new DateTime().toGregorianCalendar)

I ran into this, though: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/liftweb/9z_r9sFui3k/discussion
