Having another issue with 1.9.20. Getting a "Property must be initialized, be final, or be abstract"...

Having another issue with 1.9.20. Getting a "Property must be initialized, be final, or be abstract" error. I have an open class with an uninitialized val that is set in an init, so it is effectively final.

open class MyClass {
   override val myVal: MyInnerClass

   init {
     myVal = MyInnerClass()
   }

   inner class MyClass() {
     ...
   }
}

override val myVal: MyInnerClass = MyInnerClass()

You need not use init block here
Also you don't extend base class or interface, so using override modifier is error too.

[CLOVIS]

override means "I'm replacing a variable declared by a supertype". Your class has no supertypes, so override is forbidden.

As @Mikhail said, you can initialize the value directly on declaration.

class MyClass {
    val myVal = MyInnerClass()

    inner class MyInnerClass
}

This should be an error in older releases, not just 1.9.20.

Sorry. It does extend a base class. I just didn't list it.
