[EGL] Expected to return a Set, but returned a class [message #1012416]

Hello,

I created an .egl file (called OperationsC.egl). It includes, simplified version, this operation:

[%
@template
operation currentPackages(): Set { 
	var packages : Set;
	for (pack in Package.all) {	
		packages.add(pack);
	}
	return packages;
} %]

I have another .egl file where I want to use that operation:

[%
import "OperationsC.egl";

var packages : Set;
packages = currentPackages();

packages.println();

%]

But it's not working, giving me this error: currentPackages is expected to return a Set, but returned a class java.lang.String

I checked that the operation I created returns a Set and it does. I can't see what I'm doing wrong, if someone could help me... Thanks in advance!

Hi Patricia,

I believe that @template operations always return a string. To make this work, you'll need to remove the @template operation.

Cheers,
Dimitris
