Hello everyone!

I iam trying compile 4 lines prog on linux:

import Foundation
let filemgr = FileManager.default
let path = filemgr.currentDirectoryPath()
print(path)

and get erorr /main.swift:3:40: error: cannot call value of non-function type 'String'
let path = filemgr.currentDirectoryPath()
           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~
                                       
<unknown>:0: error: build had 1 command failures

why?

The error tells you it's not a function, but a String. In other words, it's
a property of filemgr. Try calling it without the parentheses :).

This is the kind of thing it'd be a good idea to have a fixit for. If either of you have time to file a bug to improve the diagnostic to suggest a fix, we'd appreciate it!

The original change actually emits the fixit. I also verified that the
-fixit-all emits a fix it to .remap.
