Often in my libs I have a package named com.foo.mylib.internal.* which contains symbols not exposed in the API. Everything in it should be internal (or private) but sometimes I forget.
I was sure there was a compiler plugin that can do that automatically (a bit like all-open but, all-internal?)... but can’t find it anymore. Did I dream it?

Seems like ABI validator dumper would at least assist, in that your build would fail and/or you'd explicitly see it added to public ABI.

[bod]

💯 already using that

[bod]

Well maybe it will be my next project 😅

[ephemient]

if you're using explicit visibility mode, you can't forget to add a visibility modifier

[bod]

Haha yeah I guess that's one solution. Not a huge fan tbh.

ArchUnit or Konsist?

[bod]

Ahh Konsist (this) looks promising

[bod]

pretty sweet!

[stuebingerb]

Konsist has some issues with the latest Kotlin update, though: github.com/LemonAppDev/konsist/pull/1874

[stuebingerb]

Maybe not for your case but I had to stay on 2.4.10 in one of my projects

[bod]

ah good to know.

I'm still not sure if the original idea (automatically mark symbols as internal) is a better one than just failing the build if something's incorrectly exposed.

[bod]

of course Konsist exists and the compiler plugin I dreamed of doesn't, so... that's always a + 😄
