Ambiguous Call during Compile because of Extension

I'm creating an extension and I tried adding an actions option to it, but it won't compile the resources anymore because it cant tell which actions function to use.

  == Compilation error in file test/support/policy.ex ==
** (CompileError) test/support/policy.ex:52: function actions/1 imported from both Demo.Extensions.Rbac.Rbac.Role.Options and Ash.Resource.Dsl, call is ambiguous
    expanding macro: Demo.Extensions.Rbac.Rbac.Role.role/3
    test/support/policy.ex:51: PolicyTestSupport.RootResource (module)
    expanding macro: Demo.Extensions.Rbac.rbac/1
    test/support/policy.ex:48: PolicyTestSupport.RootResource (module)

How strange, I could have sworn I fixed this in spark main I’ll have to reproduce this specific issue instead of approximating it in spark. @barnabasj could you DM me the entire extension? I could paste it into one of my own apps potentially?

barnabasjOP•3y ago

sure, might opensource it later on anyway

ZachDaniel•3y ago

So this isn't an error in my app when using spark main...

  rbac do
    role :user, [:id, :name] do
      actions([:create])
    end
  end

  rbac do
    role :user, [:id, :name] do
      actions([:create])
    end
  end

barnabasjOP•3y ago

that's strange, I have the same thing and it gives me a compile error. let me try again.

ZachDaniel•3y ago

make sure to mix deps.update spark and that you're pointed at main

barnabasjOP•3y ago

ah, the stuff I sent you. I changed actions to allowed_actions in there to make it work for now

ZachDaniel•3y ago

huh. ohhhh wow so that was actually opening up the actions block :what:

barnabasjOP•3y ago

yup

ZachDaniel•3y ago

oh, yeah okay, hm... the reason it passed my tests is because its all from the same extension but it can't know to do this for other extensions this ones a thinker I think I'm going to have to do something very ugly but that its doable perhaps okay, should be fixed in main 🙂

barnabasjOP•3y ago

compiling... compiled successfully 🚀

ZachDaniel•3y ago

🥳

@barnabasj glad you and Zach got it sorted. I’m interested in what you learned writing an RBAC and whether you’re able to share any code? We’ve talked about writing one as part of the ecosystem so keen to know more.

barnabasjOP•3y ago

Have to talk to some people first, let me get back to you on this tomorrow

jart•3y ago

I figured. Take your time.

barnabasjOP•3y ago

We moved the code into a separate repository and should be able to open that up by the end of the week or so

jart•3y ago

That’s awesome. Thank you.
