This happens if I have an annotation such as @Mock or @Autowired on a property, and then I call addModifier on that KtProperty

You have the code, take a look yourself and maybe fix it.

[snowe]

... seriously?

I'm asking for help because I was redirected here from #reflect ... I have never touched kotlin source code, I'm asking if this is a bug.

[kirillrakhman]

this channel is for working with the kotlin source. what is your usecase?

[snowe]

there are reasons to use classes in the source without modifying the source..

[snowe]

i was requesting to know whether this was expected behaviour

[kirillrakhman]

that's hard to tell. A NPE is rarely intended. I would checkout the source and take a look. Otherwise file an issue on youtrack.

[snowe]

how can I get a KtFile?

[kirillrakhman]

you should be able to call ktElement.containingKtFile

[snowe]

do I need some other library added to my project?
