Description
import monocle.Lens
val streetNumber = Lens[Address, Int](_.streetNumber)(n => a => a.copy(streetNumber = n))
Fails compilation with error not found: value n. I wanted to fix that but then I noticed that actually it's somehow already mentioned in lens.md file:
// REPL bug: `error: not found: value n` if I rename _streetNumber to streetNumber
import monocle.Lens
val _streetNumber = Lens[Address, Int](_.streetNumber)(n => a => a.copy(streetNumber = n))
val streetNumber = _streetNumber
But I cannot see this snippet at http://julien-truffaut.github.io/Monocle/optics/lens.html and I blame it on tut:silent:invisible. Also it's not just in REPL - I cannot compile it with scala 2.12.2.
Would be nice to this hidden code instead of current visible one. Spent at least half an hour on that, it's really confusing.
