I have the next code, fromDateValue, toDateValue are obtained from a string with DB YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss format using Timestamp.valueOf. inv.montYear is declared as Option[String] and has values as "May 2018", etc. The function fromMonthYear2DBformat

def fromMonthYear2DBformat(mydate: Option[String]): java.sql.Timestamp = {



  println("fromMonthYear2DBformat>mydate = " + mydate)



  if (mydate != None) {

    val dateInfo = mydate.getOrElse("").split(" ")

    if (dateInfo.size > 1) {

      val year = dateInfo(1)

      val monthi = monthName2Number(dateInfo(0))

      val answer =

        Timestamp.valueOf(year + "-" + monthi + "-" + "01 " + "00:00:01.01")

      answer

    } else

      Timestamp.valueOf("1900-01-01 00:00:00.01")

  } else {

    Timestamp.valueOf("1900-01-01 00:00:00.01")

  }

}

will be used to convert dates like "May 2018" to some java.sql.Timestamp. The problem I have is that for some reason through the next code

val predicate = (inv: Invoice) =>

  (inv.project.getOrElse("NULL") === prj.id.getOrElse("NULL")

    && fromDateValue.before(fromMonthYear2DBformat(Some(inv.monthYear.getOrElse("NULL").toString)))

    && toDateValue.after(fromMonthYear2DBformat(Some(inv.monthYear.getOrElse("NULL").toString))))



val projectInvoicesInTimeInterval = Await.result(

  for {

    lInvoicesOfProject <- DomInvoices.getAll(predicate)

  } yield lInvoicesOfProject,

  Duration.Inf

)

the parameter mydate of fromMonthYear2DBformat is getting the value: Some(Rep(OptionFold)). I was expecting something like Some("May 2018"). Any ideas on why this is happening?
I want to add that if instead of using

(fromDateValue.before(fromMonthYear2DBformat(Some(inv.monthYear.getOrElse("NULL").toString) )))

I use

(fromDateValue.before(fromMonthYear2DBformat(Some(inv.monthYear) )))

i get the error:

 Type mismatch;

 found   : slick.driver.MySQLDriver.api.Rep[Option[String]]

    (which expands to)  slick.lifted.Rep[Option[String]]

 required: String

so, maybe the question should be how to satisfy this requirement
