I don't understand why IntelliJ doesn't detect source code for some Kotlin classes. Let me show you an example:
Simple Spring WebFlux project. While debugging I wanted to go to each class, but when I tried to go into Mono.kt class, I saw
// IntelliJ API Decompiler stub source generated from a class file
// Implementation of methods is not available
Ok, maybe I didn't download the source code, but I see all sources
But IntelliJ shows me this:

I am using the ejml-library (written in Java) in a Kotlin project. I imported the library (everything seems to work fine) in IntelliJ. However, some methods which should be available (e.g. the inherited getDDRM() method of the class SimpleMatrix) are not recognized and I can't use them. Whats very weird is that the very same procedure used with Scala (also using IntelliJ) works. That is, in Scala I can access the method - with Kotlin I can't.
It would be great if someone could shed some light on this.
update:
the getDDRM() method is part of the abstract class "Class SimpleBase<T extends SimpleBase>" and has the following signature: "public DMatrixRMaj getDDRM()". In my code I call this method on an instance of class SimpleMatrix which is a concrete class inheriting the SimpleBaseClass –
I should also note that I rebuild it with gradle and the issue still persists.
IMPORTANT: I should add that I can access other methods defined in the very same class. For instance I can access the method getMatrix() which is just another method of the very same (abstract) class. In fact, IntelliJ's method completion shows me a whole list of methods - but the getDDRM() is missing. I really don't get the cause of this problem.
Update 2:
If it is of any help: When I do not use gradle but instead open a Kotlinproject in IntelliJ and add the libary jars manually then everything works fine. Can anyone explain this?
Thanks in advance!
Can i write in my custom plugin some function like kotlin("jvm")?
plugins {
java
kotlin("jvm") version "1.3.71"
}
I want to write function myplugin("foo") in my custom plugin and then use it like
plugins {
java
kotlin("jvm") version "1.3.71"
custom.plugin
myplugin("foo")
}
How i can do it?
I think that plugins block is some kind of a macro expression. It is parsed and precompiled using a very limited context. Probably, the magic happens somewhere in kotlin-dsl. This is probably the only way to get static accessors and extension functions from plugins to work in Kotlin. I've never seen a mention of this process in Gradle's documentation, but let me explain my thought. Probably, some smart guys from Gradle will correct me.
Let's take a look at some third-party plugin, like Liquibase. It allows you to write something like this in your build.gradle.kts:
liquibase {
activities {
register("name") {
// Configure the activity here
}
}
}
Think about it: in a statically compiled language like Kotlin, in order for this syntaxt to work, there should be an extension named liquibase on a Project type (as it is the type of this object in every build.gradle.kts) available in the classpath of a Gradle's VM that executes the build script.
Indeed, if you click on it, you'll see something like:
fun org.gradle.api.Project.`liquibase`(configure: org.liquibase.gradle.LiquibaseExtension.() -> Unit): Unit =
(this as org.gradle.api.plugins.ExtensionAware).extensions.configure("liquibase", configure)
But take a look at the file where it is defined. In my case it is ~/.gradle/caches/6.3/gradle-kotlin-dsl-accessors/cmljl3ridzazieb8fzn553oa8/cache/src/org/gradle/kotlin/dsl/Accessors39qcxru7gldpadn6lvh8lqs7b.kt. It is definitelly an auto-generated file. A few levels upper in a file tree — at ~/.gradle/caches/6.3/gradle-kotlin-dsl-accessors/ in my case — there are dozens of similar directories. I guess, one by every plugin/version I've ever used with Gradle 6.3. Here is another one for the Detekt plugin:
fun org.gradle.api.Project.`detekt`(configure: io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt.extensions.DetektExtension.() -> Unit): Unit =
(this as org.gradle.api.plugins.ExtensionAware).extensions.configure("detekt", configure)
So, we have a bunch of .kt files defining all that extensions for different plugins applied to the project. That files are obviously pre-cached and precompiled and their content is available in build.gradle.kts. Indeed, you can find classes directories beside those sources.
The sources are generated based on the content of the applied plugins. It is probably a tricky task that includes some magic, reflection and introspection. Sometimes this magic doesn't work (due too chatic Groovy nature) and then you need to use some crappy DSL from this package.
How are they generated? I see no other way, but to
Parse the build.script.kts with an embedded Kotlin compiler / lexer
Extract all the plugins sections
Compile them, probably against some mocks (remember that Project is not yet available: we're not executing the build.gradle.kts itself yet!)
Resolve the declared plugins from Gradle Plugin repository (with some nuances coming from settngs.gradle.kts)
Introspect plugin's artifacts
Generate the sources
Compile the sources
Add the resulting classes to the script's classpath
And here is the gotcha: there is a very limited context (classpath, classes, methods — call it whatever) available when compiling the plugins block. Actually, no plugins are yet applied! Because, you know, you're parsing the block that applies plugins. Chickens, eggs, and their problems, huh…
So, and we're getting closer to the answer on your question, to provide custom DSL in plugins block, you need to modify that classpath. It's not a classpath of your build.gradle.kts, it's the classpath of the VM that parses build.gradle.kts. Basically, it's Gradle's own classpath — all the classes bundled in a Gradle distribution.
So, probably the only way to provide really custom DSLs in plugins block is to create a custom Gradle distribution.
EDIT:
Indeed, totally forgot to test the buildSrc. I've created a file PluginExtensions.kt in it, with a content
inline val org.gradle.plugin.use.PluginDependenciesSpec.`jawa`: org.gradle.plugin.use.PluginDependencySpec
get() = id("org.gradle.war") // Randomly picked
inline fun org.gradle.plugin.use.PluginDependenciesSpec.`jawa`(): org.gradle.plugin.use.PluginDependencySpec {
return id("org.gradle.cunit") // Randomly picked
}
And it seems to be working:
plugins {
jawa
jawa()
}
However, this is only working when PluginExtensions.kt is in the default package. Whenever I put it into a sub-package, the extensions are not recognized, even with an import:
Magic!
The kotlin function is just a simple extension function wrapping the traditional id method, not hard to define:
fun PluginDependenciesSpec.kotlin(module: String): PluginDependencySpec =
id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.$module")
However, this extension function is part of the standard gradle kotlin DSL API, which means it's available without any plugin. If you want to make a custom function like this available, you would need a plugin. A plugin to load your plugin. Not very practical.
I also tried using the buildSrc module to make an extension function like the above. But it turns out that buildSrc definitions aren't even available from the plugins DSL block, which has a very constrained syntax. That wouldn't have been very practical anyway, you would have needed to make a buildSrc folder for every project in which you have wanted to use the extension.
I'm not sure if this is possible at all. Try asking on https://discuss.gradle.org/.
I'd like to write a plugin for Intellij IDEA that should modify a Java and Kotlin code.
I use the method
PsiClass.getMethods()
in order to get all methods of Java and Kotlin classes. So far so good, so then I use methods like
PsiClass.add(), PsiClass.addAfter(), PsiClass.addBefore()
that all work fine once they are called on Java files, but start to throw an exception
IncorrectOperationException
once I called them on a Kotlin class.
I'd appreciate any hint on how I can modify Kotlin and Java classes (preferably using the same approach).
When you search for a Kotlin class via the JavaPsiFacade, it returns the light class which is a shallow representation that is just based on the information in the class file. In order to add PSI elements, you have to call navigationElement on it. Then, IJ will parse the source and build a full PSI tree that can be modified.
However, if the class is a Kotlin class, navigationElement will return a KtClass which is not derived from PsiClass. You will have to use the facilities in the Kotlin hierarchy to modify it. Method instances in Kotlin are also not instances of PsiMethod, but instances of KtMethod.
For analyzing Java and Kotlin sources in a common fashion there is a different syntax tree called "UAST", but for modifications you need a language-specific approach.
I have a scenario where I need to use a plugin as well as a static library into my xcode project. The plugin will be dynamically loaded into the system. Now, the static library is also getting used in creation of the plugin.
While executing my project I am getting a warning saying :
Class A is getting referenced from /staticLibraryPath and plugin. One of them will be used.
Please let me know, how to resolve the warning or a better way of implementing the scenario.
The issue is a name class of the two ClassA types found in both plugin and library
I assume you have control over the source of either plugin / library.
.. rename Class A in one instance to make the names not clash -- I don't think there is another way to get rid of the warning/error
I am using Rhino to script an Eclipse (RCP) application. The problem is that from Javascript I only have access to classes available to the plugin that provides Rhino, and not to all the classes available to the plugin that runs the scripts.
The obvious answer would be to put Rhino in the scripting plugin, but this doesn't work because it's already provided by one of the application's own plugins (which also provides things I need to script) and Eclipse always uses this version instead of the version closer to hand.
Is there a way to change the classloader used by Rhino
or is it possible to ensure that Eclipse loads the Rhino classes from one plugin rather than another?
Thanks to Thilo's answer I used this:
import net.weissmann.tom.rhino.Activator; // Plugin activator class
import org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main;
public class JSServer extends Thread {
//[...]
public void run() {
// recent versions of the Main class kindly export
// the context factory
Main.shellContextFactory.initApplicationClassLoader(
Activator.class.getClassLoader()
) ;
//[...]
}
Is there a way to change the classloader used by Rhino
Rhino should be using the current Thread's ContextClassLoader. Try Thread.setContextClassLoader (don't forget to restore it).
If that does not work, maybe you can create your own Rhino ContextFactory:
public final void initApplicationClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader loader)
Set explicit class loader to use when searching for Java classes.
I don't know Rhino specifics, but you could consider using Eclipse "buddy classloading" with the "registered" policy.
Rhino's plug-in (net.weissmann.tom.rhino, say) would declare itself "open to extension" by specifying Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: registered in its MANIFEST.MF. Plug-ins with classes that Rhino should be able to see would specify Eclipse-RegisterBuddy: net.weissmann.tom.rhino and would need a bundle-level dependency on net.weissmann.tom.rhino.
