Hello all, I would like to write a Gradle plugin that access to developer's code. For example, If I write a class Foo in my Kotlin project and apply my plugin, I would like to get this compiled class Foo. Any hint regarding the topic?

[octylFractal]

it depends what you mean by "get", do you mean the source code, the compiled code for static analysis or transforms, or to actually load it into the classpath

[arnaud.giuliani]

I think more about the compiled code

[octylFractal]

assuming a standard setup where it is in the main sourceset, you can find it in files(tasks.named("compileKotlin")).asFileTree

[octylFractal]

that FileTree contains files like ${projectRoot}/build/classes/kotlin/main/Foo.class

ok, thanks for your answer

[arnaud.giuliani]

To precise more my case

[arnaud.giuliani]

because it's perhaps not completely that ...

It's for Koin framework. People are using an API to declare a module: https://start.insert-koin.io/#/quickstart/kotlin?id=declaring-dependencies

[arnaud.giuliani]

I would like to "get" this Module variable from Gradle to be able to check it

[octylFractal]

that's going to be much more complicated. you need to load the class and probably the entire runtimeClasspath. I'm not very familiar with that myself so you'll have to ask someone else

ok, thanks 👍

Generally you can write something like anotation processor (you can have a look on https://github.com/Foso/MpApt or if you need a more power, compiler plugin can be also considered
