„Incomplete statements not supported yet, sorry, you’ll have to retype“ Error with Scala and Eclipse

Posted on 15. November 2013 Comments

I got this error defining the function

object test {
  val f:AnyVal => String = {
      case 10.0 => "10.0"
      case _: Double => "Double"
      case _: Int => "Int"
      case _: Byte => "Byte"
      case _ => "anything else"
}

 -> Incomplete statements not supported yet, sorry, you’ll have to retype.

However, in REPL it worked just fine.

repat@laptop:~$ scala

So aparrently the error is in Eclipse. I use the version 3.7.2. Have you tried turning it off and on again? 😉
