Possible Bug: Declaring Events in an Interface
f#

Is it something that I'm doing wrong or is this a bug? I am attempting to declare an interface that exposes an Event property.

I have tried:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

#light


type IEventSource =
    abstract Event : IEvent<string>


type EventSource() =
    let event = new Event<string>()
    

    interface IEventSource with
        member this.Event = event.Publish
    

// error FS0192: internal error: forceM: envGetMethB: failed: x = get_Event(...)
// Please build a small example that reproduces this problem and report it to fsbugs@microsoft.com.

It works fine when I don't declare and implement an interface:

1
2
3
4
5

type EventSource() =
    let event = new Event<string>()
    

    member this.Event = event.Publish
.

I should have clarified that I get the above when loading the code as a script in fsi.

If I try to compile that same code I get:

I'm using CTP 1.9.6.0 and it compiles, but I get the same output as you.

Thanks for trying that out, yashez. I'm filing a bug report right now. My initial attempt to file one failed which is why I posted here but after a second check I see that I mis-typed the address...sigh...
