When using scratch files, this code does not work ...

# intellij

When using scratch files, this code does not work even though it does not show any issue in the code editor in IntelliJ:

import Scratch_2.MyEnum.*

enum class MyEnum {
    WORD, NUMBER, WHITESPACE
}

val myPairs = listOf(
    "example" to WORD,
    "42" to NUMBER,
    " " to WHITESPACE
)

println(myPairs)

It does not work because of the import on line 1. Unresolved reference: Scratch_2 (note that I use Scratch_n where n is whatever IntelliJ suggests in the autocompletion menu)

If I replace the first line by import MyEnum.* directly, then the error is Unresolved reference: MyEnum

The only way of making this code work is by removing the import and specifying MyEnum every time. Is there any way to make this work?

I have opened a bug report https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-36389

through you shouldn’t import element that can be seen explicitly
also, scratches are under anonymous package, iirc?

Scratch_2 is a class according to IntelliJ's autocompletion, and the import is there to avoid having to specify MyEnum.WORD, MyEnum.NUMBER... every time
