Is resolve() function supported?

[jackliums]

Hi there,

As part of the issue discussed here, I've updated the expression to use the resolve() function but it seems like the library does not currently support it? When I try to evaluate the expression, it throws the following exception:

ArgumentException: Unknown symbol 'resolve'
Hl7.FhirPath.Expressions.EvaluatorVisitor.resolve(SymbolTable scope, string name, IEnumerable<Type> argumentTypes)

The expression it's trying to evaluate is:

Appointment.participant.actor.where(resolve() is Location)

Yes we haven't updated it yet.
In my server I plan to shortcut it to only process the reference itself, and not read the resource for performance reasons.

But the question is about resolve(), which we have built in, but it's a FHIR-specific function (FhirPath is used more generally than just within FHIR) so make sure you use a symbol table that is initialized with the FHIR-specific functions. You could either use the extension methods like Select() coming from the Hl7.Fhir.[DSTU].Core libraries or create your own compiler like so:

   var symbolTable = new SymbolTable();
   symbolTable.AddStandardFP();
   symbolTable.AddFhirExtensions();

   var fpCompiler = new FhirPathCompiler(symbolTable);
   // do stuff

I am using Select() extension methods from the Core libraries and that was the exception I was getting.
