Hi there, I was curious, what is the expected order of execution when both KSP and KAPT exist in the same module?

if I use KSP to generate an extension function or a class in a module, do I have the ability to see that function and use it in code in the same module?

@Ting-Yuan Huang first of thx for the fast release of 1.0.4! However in 1.0.4 I noticed that the folder structure for KMP changed. While on 1.0.2 you had for example

ksp/jvmTest

, it is in 1.0.4.

ksp/jvm/jvmTest

. Is that change intensional?

Hi, when processing annotations can I somehow know when it processed the last annotation so I can write the end of a file and close it ?

Is there a good place to discuss Kotlin Compiler Plugin’s (I know this is for KSP discussions, but I couldn’t find an alternative channel)? I’m trying to write a plugin that will add Gson’s

@SerializedName

annotation and Moshi’s

@Json

annotation to all the properties of a data class. Everything seems to be working in my transformer (

IrElementTransformerVoidWithContext

) , but the resulting class doesn’t seem to have the annotations when I try to run a unit test (which loads the class from a temp working directory). If anyone has any documentation or resources that could help, I would be most grateful. Thanks!

Is there a way to get javadoc with KSP?

I made a custom multiplatform plugin similar to this one https://github.com/google/ksp/tree/main/examples/multiplatform it works great but now I’m a bit lost on how I can publish it as a maven package so I can reuse it in other projects. Is that even doable?

Hey - is there any possibility to extract alias names for KSDeclaration?

What is the recommended way to get the visibility of a KSPropertySetter?

@Jiaxiang may I make a suggestion in terms of KMP? Do you want it as issue or you like to chat here about?

hi guys 🙂 I am developing a simple KSP annotation processor and applying it on a sample android library project, which has

debug

and

release

build types. Different source folders are created for each build type, i.e.

build/generated/ksp/debug/kotlin

and

build/generated/ksp/release/kotlin

respectively. In order to be able to consume the generated code I have added the following code in my

build.gradle.kts

buildTypes {
        getByName("debug") {
            sourceSets {
                getByName("main") {
                    kotlin.srcDir(file("build/generated/ksp/debug/kotlin"))
                }
            }
        }
        getByName("release") {
            sourceSets {
                getByName("main") {
                    kotlin.srcDir(file("build/generated/ksp/release/kotlin"))
                }
            }
        }
    }

Unfortunately, if I run

kspDebugKotlin

and

kspReleaseKotlin

w.o. cleaning the

build

folder my generated classes are marked with errors in Android Studio. The error reads

Redeclaration

as if both folders were added to the same source set. Do you know how to get rid of this error? Using: • ksp

1.5.31-1.0.0

• Kotlin

1.5.31

• Android Studio Bumblebee • AGP

7.1.0

I'm trying to convert some kapt annotations to KSP. and gradle is blowing up w/

FileAlreadyExistsException

. It seems really hard to get any debugging info out of grradle, but I think my annotation process is only called once, and the annotation only exists once. Any ideas? The file it's complaining about is a file I generate.

The next thing: Sometimes my processor isn't called when building (gradle), and no code is generated (the output directory is empty). The only way I can get gradle/ksp to call my processor again is to touch/change the processor code itself. I feel like I'm not understading dependencies correctly. I'd like the processor to run if the resulting files don't exist....

How do you get the documentation for a constructor. I found a class, and used the

primaryConstructor

to get the constructor. With the following code the constructors

docString

property is null.

/**
 * A fake service that needs to be removed.
 */
@MainThread
@NotThreadSafe
public class FooService @GenerateOptions
/**
 * The constructor.
 *
 * @param other The other thing
 */
public constructor(
    /**
     * The bar.
     */
    @get:MainThread public val bar: Int,

    /**
     * The id.
     */
    @get:MainThread public val id: String? = null,
    other: String? = null,
)

fyi, looks like 1.6.20 stable had one more breaking change https://github.com/google/ksp/issues/923

Howdy! I’m reading

KDoc

for

com.google.devtools.ksp.symbol.KSTypeReference#resolve

and it says

Calling [resolve] is expensive and should be avoided if possible.

Does anyone know should I bother about memoizing the result if I plan to call

resolve

several times on the same type in different places? Or is it being cached somewhere inside?

Hi!

@Layout(R.layout.album_medium)

class AlbumViewHolder(view: View) : FlowHolder<Album>(view) ...

I have two problems 1.when I used KSAnnotated.annotations, I have got the int value of R.layout.album_medium, Is there any way to get the defined text? 2.I want to get Album class defined by Layout annotation. Could I get it from KSAnnotated? If not, what should I do?

I'm running into an issue where

getSymbolsWithAnnotation

returns 0 symbols when my modules are only targeting the

jvm

. If i re-add my

js

or

ios

targets it picks up the annotations correctly.

This is maybe a bit of a non related question, but at the same time it’s a unique question to code generation, since we generate classes on the consumer module. So I appreciate any help I get! 🙏 Is there an issue with generating code annotated with

@Keep

(from Android) and will it always work in a way that I can safely call it via reflection from my library? Or should I just use a rule on the consumer proguard? (I’m not sure if I can write rules for classes from other modules, although I’m guessing I cannot?)

Hello, I saw a Tweet from Jake Wharton saying that KSP is released within hours after a kotlin release. I was wondering if anyone had blog posts or thoughts that could share about how thats accomplished? We manage an Android SDK that could benefit from turn around like that for kotlin updates. Thanks!

This might be a bug in ksp so I’m just posting here for awareness but did something change in ksp (from 1.0.2 to 1.0.5) regarding typealiases? https://github.com/square/moshi/issues/1530

Hi! Is there some way to retrieve the name of the current module being processed? (I'm generating documentation on a multi-module project.)

Hello folks! Is there a way to produce classes from main sources to only test sources?

How would I use KSP in a gradle plugin to generate additional code based on annotations? I was working with an IR plugin before, but generating code instead of IR seemed better suited for my use case.

How do I tell if a given KSFunctionDeclaration refers to an operator method?

Testing the 1.6.21-1.0.5 and it looks like a simple Kotlin interface now has

kotlin.Any

(which is a class) as

superTypes

, is there a reason for that?

What is the correct way to interrupt/stop ksp processing with a friendly compiling error message when an error is detected "deeply" during processing? If I throw an exception it causes an internal compiler error. Thanks.

Some questions regarding incremental compilation. Details in thread.
