説明
Motivation
It took me far too long to understand why the compiler was giving me this error (I was quickly trying something a bit less trivial than this example involving async/await, and thought the issue was around the execution context):
@main public struct Scraper
{
public static func main()
{
let data = fetch() // Instance member 'fetch' cannot be used on type 'Scraper'
^~~~~
}
func fetch() -> Data
{
return Data()
}
}
Solution
A more precise wording, something like "Instance method cannot be called from static context", would be much more helpful.
