Hello there 👋 is there a way to scan sources accross multiple gradle modules while using

resolver.getSymbolsWithAnnotation(...)

?

that’s almost certainly not something you want to do 🤔

yeah, I believe this is more something like classpath scanning that would achieve such thing

modules are treated as libraries in compiler, therefore it is not supported.

However, sometimes it is needed. Fox example: airbnb's Showkase library uses this technique (source code). Also, crab library

the code you linked does not seem to be calling

getSymbolsWithAnnotation

equivalent? You can still try to access symbols from other modules, using indirect reference or fully qualified name. But still, that might also be a nightmare for incremental.

They are placing classes, annotated with useful info, in each module with the same package name, then collect them in the root module using

Resolver.getDeclarationsFromPackage

.

thanks for your messages
