How can I call the

super

method in an overriden extension method?

open class Foo {
    open fun Int.bar() {
        println("Bar")
    }
}

class FooImpl : Foo() {
    override fun Int.bar() {
        super.bar() // Unresolved reference
    }
}

In this case, how can I call

Foo#bar

inside

FooImpl#bar

?

What’s interesting, with this code IDE thinks there’s no recursive call, while in fact there is and this crashes with a stack overflow 😄

@Fudge Unfortunately, there is no way to implement your case at this moment. Youtrack: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-11488. Forum: https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/when-overriding-a-member-extension-function-how-to-call-superclass-implementation/1529/2

Hmm. Maybe 1.4 will fix this. seems simple enough

@wasyl Thank you! I've created an issue — https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-34982

Wont this@Foo.bar() help?
