I'm trying to do some constructor delegation and I'm getting the error There's a cycle in the delegation calls chain and I'm not quite sure why. Does anyone know how to fix this?

internal class EmptyComponentModel private constructor(
    override val countryCode: CountryCode,
    override val saleStatus: SaleStatus,
    override val price: Monetary? = null,
    override val saleNotes: String? = null
) : PlacardComponentModel(ListingSaleType.Unknown) {

    constructor(countryCode: CountryCode, saleStatus: SaleStatus) : this(
        countryCode = countryCode,
        saleStatus = saleStatus
    )
}

There doesn't seem to be a lot of information about this online that I can find

What if you try this:

internal class EmptyComponentModel private constructor(
    override val countryCode: CountryCode,
    override val saleStatus: SaleStatus,
    override val price: Monetary? = null,
    override val saleNotes: String? = null
) : PlacardComponentModel(ListingSaleType.Unknown) {

    constructor(countryCode: CountryCode, saleStatus: SaleStatus) : this(
        countryCode = countryCode,
        saleStatus = saleStatus,
        price = null,
        saleNotes = null
    )
}

adding the remaining properties fixes this

constructor(countryCode: CountryCode, saleStatus: SaleStatus) : this(
        countryCode = countryCode,
        saleStatus = saleStatus,
        price = null,
        saleNotes = null
    )

Is this a compiler/IDE bug?

You were calling the secondary constructor recursively
