Hey folks, I need to call environment.codeGenerator.createNewFile( and create a file in a directory that contains . in it. Example path: META-INF/services/a.b.c/d.e.f where d.e.f is a file name. Is this possible? Currently passing that path as the package name results in META-INF/services/a/b/c/d.e.f

looking at the implementation, this doesn’t seem possible. Can I submit a PR?

I would suggest a new API createNewFile(path: String, location: FileLocation) where FileLocation would be an enum for java, kotlin, class, resources

I created https://github.com/google/ksp/pull/1041. Also noticed there are no tests for the CodeGeneratorImpl so I created some
