<Self as Parent>::ident doesn't work with trait inheritance #11401

@aakoshh

Description

@aakoshh

Aim

This is a test added in #11383 that should be fixed:

    pub trait Foo {
        type Bar;
        fn foo() -> Self::Bar;
    }

    pub trait Qux: Foo {
        type Bar;
        // This is rejected by Rust as ambiguous, but is accepted by Noir.
        fn qux() -> Self::Bar;

        // This "works" in Noir: it is treated as `Self::Bar`, which in turn shouldn't work.
        fn quy() -> <Self as Qux>::Bar;

        // This is not working in Noir, but it should; it works in Rust.
        fn quz() -> <Self as Foo>::Bar;
    }

Expected Behavior

  • Self::Bar should be rejected as ambiguous.
  • <Self as Foo>::Bar should be handled and resolve to the parent's associated type

Bug

cargo run -q -p nargo_cli -- compile --force

error: No matching impl found for `Self: Foo<Bar = _>`
   ┌─ src/main.nr:15:26

Aborting due to 1 previous error
