For some time now (I can't remember which AS version it was), the text editor is highlighting bits of code as "cannot access class" errors even though the code compiles just fine. So, gradle and the kotlin compiler are finding the classes, but AS isn't. Here's an example:

Cannot access class 'okio.BufferedSink'. Check your module classpath for missing or conflicting dependencies

Our build.gradle.kts file contains a reference to the dependency (okio in this example):

implementation(libs.okio)

Invalidation of caches isn't helping either.

Is anybody else experiencing this?

I've been having this same issue for months now. I've tried a whole bevy of ways to resolve this but to no avail. I just gave up at some point. Let me know if you figure out how to fix it

[Dario Ahdoot]

Yeah, it's been months and at least one patch release. It's quite annoying as I like to keep my projects free of warnings and definitely free of errors and this just always distracts me
