Guh, second version should be this (Discourse save me).
enum MyError: Error {
case network
case json
case value
var localizedDescription: String {
switch self {
case .network: return "first"
case .json: return "second"
case .value: return "third"
}
}
}
extension MyError: LocalizedError { }
print((MyError.value as Error).localizedDescription)
