No viable conversion from 'bool' to 'std::string'

Question

I have some code that looks like this:

static std::string Foo(const std::string& blah)
{
   if ( someWierdEdgeCase() ){
      return false;  // <-- this l         


        

Answer 1

static std::string Foo(const std::string& blah)
{
   std::string resourcePath = "";
   if ( someWierdEdgeCase() ){
      return resourcePath; // <-- Now you're returning a string
   }

   resourcePath.append("/assets/");
   return resourcePath; 
}
