[Kapt related] Hi there, I generated a Kotlin file in folder specified by

processingEnv.options["kapt.kotlin.generated"]

. Although everything works, Intellij is not recognizing generated classes (shown as errors). I tried to add the generated folder as a source directory, but still nothing.. any ideas? [11:13]

sourceSets {
    main {
        java {
            srcDir "${buildDir.absolutePath}/generated/source/kaptKotlin/"
        }
    }
}

We have run into the same problem with our Annotation Processor, and as of now we modify the generated directory path directly: https://github.com/permissions-dispatcher/PermissionsDispatcher/blob/master/processor/src/main/kotlin/permissions/dispatcher/processor/PermissionsProcessor.kt#L78 https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-19097

Oh, cool. Thanks for the answer. Have you also found some weird caching (I guess) problems when using

kapt3

. For example, I write an annotation processor, compile the project, and the code gets generated. Without changing anything I clean it and compile it again and the code is not generated. When I change something within the annotation processor, for example, I add a comment, clean, compile, and everything works. Basically, without changing anything, cleaning and compiling the project for the second time, doesn’t work. This doesn’t happen on previous version of

kapt

.

The issue with caching looks like a bug. Can you please submit it directly to http://kotl.in/issue? By the way, what annotation processor do you use? Can you provide some code example if it is possible? The latter looks very strange. Can you load the

.class

files, for example? E.g.,

javaClass.classLoader.getResource("kotlin/Unit.class")

?

Yeah, I’ll submit it when I find out how to reproduce it. 🙂 I realized that the above problem was caused by gradle. For example: I can load a

.txt

file for the first time. The next time, if I change the extension, it will not work. I have to restart the gradle daemon to make it work. Basically, right now, before every compile, I kill the gradle process to be sure that the changes are applied.
