I have taken the following code almost entirely from the 'derive show' example found here: https://github.com/milessabin/kittens
import cats._, cats.derived._, cats.implicits._
object Test extends App {
case class Address(street: String, city: String, state: String)
case class ContactInfo(phoneNumber: String, address: Address)
case class People(name: String, age: Double, contactInfo: ContactInfo)
val mike = People("Mike", 1.23, ContactInfo("202-295-3928", Address("1 Main ST", "Chicago", "IL")))
implicit val addressShow: Show[Address] = new Show[Address] {
def show(a: Address) = s"${a.street}, ${a.city}, ${a.state}"
}
// I would like to use a custom version of Show for Doubles...
// implicit val doubleShow: Show[Double] = new Show[Double] {
// def show(d: Double) = s"Custom Double Show: $d"
// }
implicit val peopleShow: Show[People] = {
import auto.show._
semi.show
}
println(mike.show)
}
I would like to be able to use a custom version of Show[Double] (I don't really, but this is a nice minimal example which illustrate the problem I'm actually having)
If I un-comment my doubleShow
I get the following error:
Error:(25, 10) ambiguous implicit values:
both value emptyProductDerivedShow in trait MkShowDerivation of type => cats.derived.MkShow[shapeless.HNil]
and method emptyCoproductDerivedShow in trait MkShowDerivation of type => cats.derived.MkShow[shapeless.CNil]
match expected type cats.derived.MkShow[A]
semi.show
How can I get this working? I would have expected my locally defined implicits to win out over any imported from cats...
