Hello
Q: Can we override the error messages from the FIR checker?
In my case I have a private setter and would like to indicate to clients the supported way to update the value.

Why you interested in FIR checkers? Fir is not released yet

[dmitriy.novozhilov]

And short answer for all checkers (from current frontend and FIR): you can't

[Petru]

Ohhh
I thought that is where the message Cannot assign to "": the setter is private in "" comes from

[dmitriy.novozhilov]

All error messages which are used in current compiler are described here: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/compiler/frontend/src/org/jetbrains/kotlin/diagnostics/rendering/DefaultErrorMessages.java

[Petru]

Could I make a ticket about supporting overriding this messages?
Would it be possible, is it something you would consider?

[dmitriy.novozhilov]

You can create but it won't be implemented in observable future

[Petru]

No problem. Thanks!
