Why not simply val myField so you have public access without setter?

[alwyn]

One issue is I am using it for calculations in the init block which idea hints at the need for it to be final (private)

[alwyn]

only reason I'm really looking at a getter is so that I can test whether it is injected or not.

[alwyn]

Maybe I should just scratch that test 🙂

[Jukka Siivonen]

I don't understand why it should be private or why such warning appears if you use it in init block

[Jukka Siivonen]

can you provide example code?

[alwyn]

@Service
class Demo(@Value("\${a.b}") private val a: String) {

private val b: String

init {
  b = someCalculation(a)
}

Conceptually something like this. In my case a is a cryptographic key, so ideally I don't even want the getter to exist for testing.

[Jukka Siivonen]

I don't get any warning if I remove private for val a in constructor

[Jukka Siivonen]

ah, now I found it

[Jukka Siivonen]

yeah I'm assuming you using kotlin-allopen plugin so class Demo is actually open class Demo, making it final class Demo makes warning disappear (but may break Spring stuff of course)

[alwyn]

Yes, that's what I suspected too
