Getting compile error on provided type
f#, f#-3.0, type-providers
Solution
Found the answer, so to those that end in the same situation
the line
let t = ProvidedTypeDefinition(thisAssembly,
ns,
name,
baseType = Some typeof<obj>)
where the nested type is defined should be without assembly and namespace
let t = ProvidedTypeDefinition(name,baseType = Some typeof<obj>)
Problem
I'm working on a TypeProvider that reads an XSD file and provides a type for each type defined in the XSD. However I have a problem in the below code ``` type schema = XmlProviders.Schema<"file.xsd"> type Bazzer = { Sum : XmlProviders.bar } ``` on the last line I get a compilation error saying that XmlProviders.bar does not exist. The implementation of how I define the types are as follows ``` let defineType (xType : XElement) = let name = xType.Attribute(XName.Get "name").Value let t = ProvidedTypeDefinition(thisAssembly, ns, name, baseType = Some typeof<obj>) let ctor = ProvidedConstructor(parameters = [ ], InvokeCode= (fun args -> <@@ "" :> obj @@>)) t.AddMember ctor do provider.DefineStaticParameters(parameters, fun tyName args -> let filename = args.[0] :?> string let main = ProvidedTypeDefinition(thisAssembly,ns, tyName, baseType = Some typeof<obj>) //Elements is a list of XElement elements |> List.map defineType |> ignore main ``` I know that a XmlProviders.bar type is created because if I add an additional line to defineType `provider.AddMember t` then I get an error saying The type provider 'XmlProviders.SampleTypeProvider' reported an error: container type for 'XmlProviders.bar' was already set to 'XmlProviders.Schema' Where `XmlProviders.Schema` is the `ProvidedTypeDefinition` identified by `provider` I'm a bit lost on why the compiler complains that the type is not there while if I explicitly add it I get the error that it's already there
