Help needed: Type mismatch error

[Răzvan Rotaru]

Hi,

I can't seem to be able to define following function:

getBindings e = (
    b = "binding" ^ e.text;
    childrenBindings = map getBindings e.elements;
    if b == "binding" then
        b :: childrenBindings
    else:
        childrenBindings
    );

The compilation error is:

Function type ('a is {.elements is list?<'a>, .text is string}) -> list<string> is not ('a is {.elements is list?<'a>, .text is string}) -> string (self-binding)
Type mismatch: list<string> is not string

Is there a mistake in the function which I am not seeing, or is this really not possible in yeti?

Thanks,
Răzvan

The getBindings functions returns a list<string> but the 'map' function expects a functiong which returns just a string. 

I thing if you replace the 'map' on line 3  with 'concatMap' (http://dot.planet.ee/yeti/docs/latest/yeti.lang.std.html#concatMap) than it works. I have not tested it so.
