Partially applying a function that has an implicit parameter

Question

Can I turn a method which takes an implicit parameter into a function?

trait Tx

def foo(bar: Any)(implicit tx: Tx) {}

foo _ // error: could not find implic         


        

Answer 1

Implicits only work for methods. But you have to pass a function to withSelection. You can get around by wrapping the method in a function:

withSelection(a => b => deleteObjects(a)(b))

Its impossible to pass deleteObjects directly because foo _ does not work for a foo with an implicit parameter list defined.
