Hi!
How do I import another script file? @Import annotation does not seem to be working for me:

`common.main.kts`:

#!/usr/bin/env -S kotlinc -script --

val greeting = "Hello"

`sample.main.kts`:

#!/usr/bin/env -S kotlinc -script --

@file:org.jetbrains.kotlin.script.util.Import("common.main.kts")

print(greeting) // unresolved reference and nothing to import

Both files are in the same directory and I've tried relative and absolute paths. Am I doing something wrong here?

I know it's possible with kscript but I would prefer to keep extra dependencies to a minimum. Doesn't kotlin have built-in support for this and I'm totally misunderstanding what @Import annotation is supposed to do?

Which kotlin version are you playing with?
The Import annotation should be accessible without FQN in the versions that support it. so it should work as

@file:Import("common.main.kts")

e.g. here is how it looks in the tests https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/1.3.70/libraries/tools/kotlin-main-kts-test/testData/import-test.main.kts

I think I've figured it out. It works when I execute the code, it's the IDEA that was complaining because the scripts were not in the "sources" directories.

Ah, yes, I see. The IntelliJ support for imports is quite limited, unfortunately.
