E2G22 TypeError when missing import and schema field with same name

[fchastanet]

Hello,

Here a minimal reproducible case:
My k file

import file

schema DefinitionFilesSchema:
  file: str
  check:
    file.exists(file) if file, "file not found ${file}"

the error displayed

Error:
error[E2G22]: TypeError
 --> /home/wsl/fchastanet/bash-compiler/examples/kcl/issues/issueImport.k:6:5
  |
6 |     file.exists(file) if file, "file not found ${file}"
  |     ^ attribute 'exists' not found in 'str'

I tried using an alias for file library

import file as libFile

schema DefinitionFilesSchema2:
  file: str
  check:
    libFile.exists(file) if file, "file not found ${file}"

but the same error occurs

it seems that file library and file property enter into conflicts, is there a way to solve that ?

[fchastanet]

I found a workaround

by creating a custom library calling the file function

import file

fileExists = lambda filepath:str {
  file.exists(filepath)
}

I changed my k file to

import .fileLib

schema DefinitionFilesSchema:
  file: str
  check:
    fileLib.fileExists(file) if file, "file not found ${file}"

but I think it's a bug, is there a better way to do what I want to achieve ?

Thanks for the feedback, it's a bug and I will fix it soon. Or you can write this code

import file

exists = file.exists

schema DefinitionFilesSchema:
  file: str
  check:
    exists(file) if file, "file not found ${file}"
