07/10/2017, 6:51 PMmusachy: Can you perhaps give some examples? Generally the "closest" property is used.

07/10/2017, 7:35 PMHi Karel, sorry about that
so if I have a class with a protected property "x" and I have a child class that also defines "x". The compiler rightly complains about it.

07/10/2017, 7:35 PMNo problem, just try not do do it in the future simple smile. It's annoying if people from both channels start helping at once.

07/10/2017, 7:36 PMI cant seem to find any info on how to tell the compiler which one to use

07/10/2017, 7:37 PMCan you post some example code.?

musachy
07/10/2017, 7:40 PMhum. I was writing an example and just realized that in pure Kotlin it doesnt happen. As you need to "override" the parent property. It is between base Java class and child Kotlin

07/10/2017, 7:40 PMA mixed example is fine too 😄

07/10/2017, 7:43 PMJava base class:
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
public class Base {
protected Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger("Base");
}
Kotlin child class:
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory
class Child: Base() {
private val logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger("Child")
fun test() {
logger.debug("ouch")
}
}

07/10/2017, 7:45 PMOkay and logger.debug uses the Child one, right?
m
musachy
07/10/2017, 7:45 PMThe compiler will complain about " logger.debug("ouch")"
yes

karelpeeters
07/10/2017, 7:50 PMHmm, interesting one.
You can get the
Base(this as Base).logger.debug("ouch")m
musachy
07/10/2017, 7:52 PMah!
didn't think of that
k
karelpeeters
07/10/2017, 7:52 PMBut you need the Child one, right?
m
musachy
07/10/2017, 7:52 PMwell, I actually need the child one 🙂
k
karelpeeters
07/10/2017, 7:54 PMTbh I don't think there's actually a way to do this.
I'd report an issue here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/KT
But for now you can just pick another variable name 🙂

07/10/2017, 7:59 PMfyi
I did used a different name, but it was a splinter in my mind to find the "right" solution. Thanks for the help!

07/10/2017, 8:00 PMA quick tip for using youtrack: format your code like this:
{code:lang=kotlin} actual code {code}m
musachy
07/10/2017, 8:03 PMfixed. that helps.
