I've created an @Import annotation that works the same way as simple version of main-kts . Everything works fine when importing another script's function but I'm unable to import a class defined in the other script. It seems reasonable that classes defined in the script class's scope so I suspect I need my compilation configuration to do something to include them. Anyone know where I should be looking?

Current import behavior is incomplete, unfortunately. I plan to fix it in some future.
But for a moment you only can use a name qualified with the imported script name, or use star import. But you need to know how script file name is converted to the class name: It is capitalized, the .kts extension is dropped, and then invalid chars are converted to the underscore.

@file:Import("import-common.main.kts")
import Import_common_main.*

Here is a similar issue https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-34178

Theoretically you can handle it in your Import annotation handler - you can add the star import to the configuration's defaultImports property.

Thanks! This is really helpful 🙂

@ilya.chernikov I figure I'd write my own code to find the classname of the compiled script from a given ScriptSource but I'd prefer to use an existing method instead of duplicating things. I know I could compile the scripts to get their names but I would rather get the name without having to compile (or write my own function to predict the name).

In fact I already fixed the issue locally, and the fix will quite likely be a part of the upcoming 1.4.20.

That's great!

If I have any wishes remaining, I'll take infinite wishes 🧞
