Hi guys! I tried to create a Kotlin compiler plugin to generate a simple
 method, but I cannot figure out how to resolve that method! I asked
about it couple of weeks ago <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60532779/unresolved-reference-in-generated-method-by-a-kotlin-compiler-plugin> without answer! Any idea to solve it would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you checkout the code I use  `SyntheticResolveExtension` and `ExpressionCodegenExtension`  to `generateSyntheticProperties`
 and `generateClassSyntheticParts` . As I checked `AnalysisHandlerExtension` and `PackageFragmentProviderExtension` are used to generate entire files. But as I said before I just want to add a simple method to an implemented class. I just need a sample code to find out how. Thanks for any kind of hint.

Hey, did you try to generate a function instead?
As I see, `SyntheticResolve` has a function `getSyntheticFunctionNames`  so they can be resolved later, but does not have such for properties.
One of other possible solution is to add `track` through interface with `addSyntheticSupertypes`.

As I see it, compiler fails to find an identifier `track` in scope, because you did not provide it such name in scope. (it is not like you can currently).

What a beautiful world we have :smile: Thank you <@UJNU95VNC> Let me check your solutions.

Hey! Let's try `getSyntheticFunctionNames`   but there's another problem. I applied the changes  to use this method, committed an pushed to master. Now after un-comenting `SmokeTest#trackable` test, I reach to `SmokeTest.kt: (24, 37): Overload resolution ambiguity:`  ! Apparently the method is generated 4 times! How can I prevent this? Thanks.

Fixed! :smile: Thank you for your great help

Nice to hear, good luck with this project :)
