Implicit def not found if it occurs later in same file #1814
Description
In the following code, whether an implicit conversion is found by the compiler depends on the order of modules in the file, and on whether the method is called explicitly in a seperate statement:
// code doesn't compile, no suitable implicit found for the last println
object Foo extends Application {
import Utils.string2FooString;
//println(string2FooString("%s = %s") % ("foo", "bar")); // this line causes next line to compile!
println("str" % ("foo", "bar"));
}
// if this module is moved to the top of the file, the code compiles
object Utils {
class FooString(s: String) {
def % (arg1: String, arg2: String) = arg1+arg2;
}
implicit def string2FooString(s: String) = new FooString(s)
}
