How do I convert a Vec<Result<T, E>> to Result<Vec<T>, E>?

Problem
Is there any opinionated and more elegant way to convert
Example:
I'm looking for a more declarative way to write this. This function forces me to write a
Vec> to Result, E>? I want to get Ok> if all values of vector are Ok and Err if at least one is Err.Example:
fn vec_of_result_to_result_of_vec(v: Vec>) -> Result, E>
where
T: std::fmt::Debug,
E: std::fmt::Debug,
{
let mut new: Vec = Vec::new();
for el in v.into_iter() {
if el.is_ok() {
new.push(el.unwrap());
} else {
return Err(el.unwrap_err());
}
}
Ok(new)
}I'm looking for a more declarative way to write this. This function forces me to write a
where clause which will never be used and Err(el.unwrap_err()) looks useless. In other words, the code does many things just to make the compiler happy. I feel like this is such a common case that there's a better way to do it.Solution
An iterator over
Result can be collect()-ed directly into a Result, E>; that is, your entire function can be replaced with:let new: Result, E> = v.into_iter().collect()Code Snippets
let new: Result<Vec<T>, E> = v.into_iter().collect()Context
