Unable to use the Result namespace

[rodrigoruiz]

Hi, I have another Result structure in my code and it's conflicting with this one.
How can I use Result.Result for this enum?
I'm getting the error Reference to generic type 'Result' requires arguments in <...> as if it thinking it's the enum, not the namespace.

I found a solution that works for my scenario. The issue was actually with importing Alamofire in the same file I was trying to use my own custom Result type.

FWIW, importing Moya in the same file does not cause this conflict. So, as far as I can tell, I think the namespace issue is with Alamofire and the issue may need to be brought up with them.

I also cannot, for the life of me, figure this out

I have the same problem. I don't want to import Result in every swift file. So I want to make a type alias like this typealias Result = Result.Result, but the compiler just doesn't understand this.

FWIW, you can do:

import Alamofire
import enum Result.Result

typealias _Result<T, E: Error> = Result<T, E>

It's ugly, but does provide a workaround.
