A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I have a case where `IrPluginContext.referenceFunctions(callableId: CallableId)` ~does not resolve a symbol (returning an empty collection)~ *resolves to two symbols* when called at the beginning of `IrGenerationExtension.generate()`, but then properly resolves to a single symbol later on during `IrModuleFragment.transform`. The situation _only_ occurs with the <https://developer.android.com/kotlin/multiplatform/plugin|Android Gradle Library Plugin for KMP> and _only_ with Android Local tests (a.k.a. host-based tests, unit tests). Why is that? More Details in :thread:.

<https://github.com/infix-de/testBalloon/blob/main/experiments/TRIAL.md#androidhosttest-dance|Here is a reproducer> (follow the steps in the _AndroidHostTest Dance_ section to observe the quirky behavior).

<https://github.com/infix-de/testBalloon/blob/d9ec863d47b22d1d6b15a70f79a0c0574bb8e327/testBalloon-compiler-plugin/src/main/kotlin/de/infix/testBalloon/compilerPlugin/CompilerPluginIrGenerationExtension.kt#L182|Changing this line> to lazy resolution as follows resolves the problem:
```val configureAndExecuteTestsFunctionSymbol by lazy {
    irFunctionSymbol(internalPackageName, "configureAndExecuteTests")
}```

What's also remarkable in this case that the original eager name resolution works if we invoke the Gradle task multiple times, removing and re-adding a test dependency along the way (that's what the _AndroidHostTest Dance_ does.
