specifically i get, a non-expression cannot be replaced with an expression

[Endre Deak]

you could try doing regex

[Endre Deak]

I guess the trick is that you need to match every

@Slf4J
class Whatever { 
   val field = ...

and be replaced to

class Whatever { 
   val logger = KotlinLogging.logger { }
   val field = ...

[sreich]

well it's even easier than that actually, since logger is top level as well

[Endre Deak]

even better

[sreich]

or, the end state is for it to be roughly where the @Slf4j was

[Endre Deak]

but regex will do it for you

[sreich]

i don't know how to do that within structural search & replace

[sreich]

i am trying to create an inspection, so it has to be done through this

[Endre Deak]

oh

[Endre Deak]

I thought you just need this to be replaced and in that case you could just do plain text search & replace

[sreich]

there must be some syntax to get it to ignore. like, do i need to wrap it in quotes or something?
