[BUG] SELECT.from().bind() is not accepted

[softproviding-brodmd]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

when using

let srv = new cds.Service
await SELECT.from(Books).bind(srv)

from the capire documentation:
https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/node.js/cds-ql#bind-srv

the following error occurs:
Property 'bind' does not exist on type 'Awaitable<SELECT_3<PluralInstanceType<typeof Books>>, PluralInstanceType<typeof Books>>'.ts(2339)

but the method 'bind()' does exists and the code is working as exepcted.

Please don't get me wrong, this is no something severe, I just wanted to mention it so you know about it.

Expected Behavior

No type error

Hi David,

thanks for bringing this to our attention. I believe this is just a case of missing parentheses. The following should probably work:

;(await SELECT.from(Books)).bind(srv)

EDIT: misread the docs. This seems to be an API I was not aware of. I will pass this on accordingly.

Best,
Daniel
