I have this: ```interface MessageReceiver { operator fun <T : Any> invoke( subject...

# intellij

I have this:

interface MessageReceiver {
    operator fun <T : Any> invoke(
        subject: String,
        queue: String? = null,
        type: KClass<T>,
        block: suspend (T) -> Unit
    )
}

inline operator fun <reified T : Any> MessageReceiver.invoke(
    subject: String,
    queue: String? = null,
    noinline block: suspend (T) -> Unit
) = invoke(subject, queue, T::class, block)

and neither Intellij nor Fleet know how to import the second one automatically... I keep on having to write the import myself... is there any way to get this to auto-import?

You could try having a factory function with the same name as the interface (the same as the List or CoroutineScope factory functions)

[dave08]

I can't really, since I need the MessageReceiver context that's initialized elsewhere... 😞

That's interesting; for simpler functions, it manages to offer "Import extension function". But not for this one.

[dave08]

I wonder if I can put it straight in the interface... I think I tried, and there was some problem with that...

[dave08]

Yup 'inline' modifier is not allowed on virtual members. Only private or final members can be inlined ...

[dave08]

Can't do that either...

[xoangon]

What about changing the interface for an abstract class?

[dave08]

That's one option, I guess... although I don't like `abstract class`es too much, here I don't see why I would derive from it and something else... I'm just wondering if this is a known bug in Intellij... or just something normal.

"Bug" might be too strong a term, but certainly an arbitrary limitation to this feature, worth reporting at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/newIssue

[dave08]

Ok, thanks! I opened an issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-334679/Import-not-proposed-for-inline-operator-invoke-extension-function
