I'm playing around with Hakyll and try to understand why it doesn't compile whet I use let statement in the following code snippet:
main :: IO ()
main = hakyll $ do
-- some other matches
match "index.html" $ do
route idRoute
compile $ do
posts <- recentFirst =<< loadAll "index.html"
let indexCtx =
listField "posts" postCtx (return posts) <>
constField "title" "Home" <>
defaultContext
getResourceBody
>>= applyAsTemplate defaultContext
>>= loadAndApplyTemplate "templates/default.html" defaultContext
>>= relativizeUrls
What do I try to do here is just to compile simple index.html template. And thing that seems strange to me is that it doesn't compile when I drop let statement. GHCi then starts to complain that:
• No instance for (base-4.12.0.0:Data.Typeable.Internal.Typeable
a0)
arising from a use of ‘loadAll’
• In the second argument of ‘(=<<)’, namely ‘loadAll "index.html"’
In a stmt of a 'do' block:
posts <- recentFirst =<< loadAll "index.html"
In the second argument of ‘($)’, namely
‘do posts <- recentFirst =<< loadAll "index.html"
getResourceBody >>= applyAsTemplate defaultContext
>>= loadAndApplyTemplate "templates/default.html" defaultContext
>>= relativizeUrls’
As far as I know, let statement shouldn't infer to behavior in any ways since indexCtx
is not even used elsewhere.
