Hey there, this is probably a newbie question, but since it’s related to ktor:

To get this code below working…why do I have to import both io.ktor.server.application.call and io.ktor.server.response.respondText ? What is it about the call property that requires both imports?

I would have thought just importing io.ktor.server.application.call is enough. Then calling call.respondText() is ok, but I get an Unresolved Reference error if I dont include the other import.

package com.mobilecoin.plugins

import io.ktor.server.application.Application
import io.ktor.server.application.call
import io.ktor.server.response.respondText
import io.ktor.server.routing.get
import io.ktor.server.routing.routing

fun Application.configureRouting() {

    // Starting point for a Ktor app:
    routing {
        get("/") {
            call.respondText("Hello World!")
        }
    }
    routing {
    }
}

Thanks!

Both are extension functions rather than member

Here is the information about scope of extension functions.
