@raulraja Hey, I have seen you adding some extensions for PackageFragmentProvider. Did you find any use for those extensions in terms of providing additional files? I was trying to generate some synthetic descriptors using it, but failed miserably with lots of recursion errors.

[raulraja]

I’m working on generalizing the generation of synth descriptors at this very moment

[raulraja]

there is an extension you can use to add additional ktfiles

[raulraja]

org.jetbrains.kotlin.extensions.CollectAdditionalSourcesExtension

[raulraja]

it only works in the Cli though

[raulraja]

otherwise you can use the analysys phase in the cli too which does not work on Idea

[raulraja]

in Idea you can register earlier by getting a hold of the current project

[raulraja]

and subscribing to the message bus

[raulraja]

all the interesting hooks are there as Topics

[raulraja]

for example the one I’m using now is AsyncFileListener which monitors changes in the running virtual file system where the Kt files and all that is contained

[shikasd]

My case was mostly about analyzing existing classes and adding new ones based on that result 😄
I am using Analysis phase, but was curious if it is possible to do generating descriptors myself.

[raulraja]

in the IDE there is no analysis phase

[raulraja]

you can bootstrap one yourself with the resolutionUtils
