Hi! For some reason, when I add a (valid) @file:Import("somefile.main.kts") annotation to a .main.kts script, the autocompletion and syntax highlighting on that file completely disappears (beyond very simple things like coloring keywords) after an "Apply context". Is this a known issue?

File import is very flakey I'm affraid.

Try with this, though

file://./somefile.kts

[Zac Sweers]

using file:// as a prefix appears to actually break it

./slackw generate-project --help

[Big Chungus]

How did you actually put it in?

[Big Chungus]

file:// is a bit iffy about slashes

[Zac Sweers]

@file:Import("file://./project-gen-common.smain.kts")

[Big Chungus]

Try with one or no leading slashes instead of two

[Zac Sweers]

can you write an example of what you mean?

[Zac Sweers]

this works but has the same lack of indexing issues

@file:Import("./project-gen-common.smain.kts")

[Big Chungus]

Well file:./local/path

[Big Chungus]

Or file:/./local/path

[Zac Sweers]

neither of those are valid

Well, then ide is just broken I'm affraid :/

[Big Chungus]

Write a script that would merge all the files into one, maybe?

[Zac Sweers]

do you know of any existing bugs filed around this by chance? If not I can write one

[Big Chungus]

That way you can generate a monolith for development but keep separate files for deployment

[Zac Sweers]

that kind of defeats the point of file imports as a feature IMO

[Big Chungus]

I think there's one already as it's not the first time people complain about it (myself included). Don't have a link, tho.

this is working for me

but the IDE highlight breaks

I think this is the related issue:
