//Module A
public class MyJavaClass {
  public @interface MyAnnotation {}
}

//Module B with KSP Processor
class MyKotlinClass(@MyJavaClass.MyAnnotation val myProp: Any)

Hi! In my KSP Processor I’m trying to resolve KSTypeReference of annotation type MyJavaClass.MyAnnotation which I face during analysis of `MyKotlinClass`’s constructor and for some reason it could not be resolved (KSType#isError returns true).

If I move MyAnnotation to the top-level everything works fine.

I am not sure how I can debug this issue, any ideas? =\

At the same time if I try to get nested class via resolver.getClassDeclarationByName by its FQCN everything works just fine, so I think it means that theoretically it could be resolved

[Jiaxiang]

sorry can you clarify your issue? It looks like in your snippet MyAnnotation is already at top level? Do you mean you are not able to resolve the type when the annotation is on the constructor parameter?

[Vladimir Tagakov]

I am not able to resolve the type of annotation when it is being declared as a nested class. In the snippet above MyAnnotation is declared inside MyJavaClass. So it’s canonical name is MyJavaClass$MyAnnotation . When I declare MyAnnotation at the top-level, so its canonical name becomes just MyAnnotation (assuming I am using default empty package there) it could be resolved just fine.

could be a known issue: https://github.com/google/ksp/issues/1034
which only happens with 1.7.0, can you try 1.6.21 to see if this issue goes away?

[Vladimir Tagakov]

Yeah, sorry for not specifying the version, I’m on 1.6.21-1.0.5

updating loading

[Vladimir Tagakov]

Nope, didn’t help =(

[Vladimir Tagakov]

@Jiaxiang update, the same thing happens when nested annotation comes from kotlin file, so it looks like it has nothing to do with java 😞

[Jiaxiang]

Thanks for the update. I’ll need another look then.
