I am trying to look into properties of a type in KSP and have an element which is KSReferenceElement. I can get the simple name of the type, but can't find a way how to get a fully qualified name, or package...all I am getting is the fully qualified name of the symbol (i.e. com.google.devtools.ksp.symbol.impl.kotlin.KSNameImpl) not the type it represents.

data class InspectedClass(var property1: com.mypackage.SomePropertyType) {}

I can get name SomePropertyType but not the package "com.mypackage". Any ideas?

How did you end up with the KSReferenceElement?

Assuming you have a handle on your data class as a ksClassDeclaration, you should be able to get the FQN with something like:

ksClassDeclaration.getAllProperties().single { it.simpleName.asString() == "property1" }.type.resolve().declaration.qualifiedName!!

I have KSClassDeclaration as well. KSReferenceEleement was from type.element
However type.resolve().declaration.qualifiedName gives com.google.devtools.ksp.symbol.impl.kotlin.KSNameImpl not the fully qualified name of my type

[David Rawson]

can you try qualifiedName.asString() ?

Thanks, qualifiedName?.asString() was exactly what I was looking for. It is kind of surprising that it is even there and toString() returns a different value, but I can live with it. Once again, big thanks.
