Is open modifier needed for accessing properties in super class?

1

I'm having an abstract class Input extending abstract class EmptyElement which extends abstract class Element. They all reside in the same package.

 
public abstract class Input(val type: String?, var value: String? = null, id: String? = null) :
        EmptyElement(name = "input", id = id) {

  val htmlInputElement: HTMLInputElement = super.htmlElement as HTMLInputElement;



    init {

  this.htmlElement.setAttribute(“type”, type);

        if ( value != null ) {

            this.htmlInputElement.value = value!!

  }

  }

}


However the call above fails:

Unless I’ve declared property htmlElement of class Element “open”:

public abstract class Element (name: String?,
                               cssClass: String? = null,
                               id: String? = null,
                               htmlElement: HTMLElement? = null) {

  open val htmlElement: HTMLElement = htmlElement ?: document.createElement(name) as HTMLElement;


<pre><span >...</code></pre> 
}

I can't reproduce it.

Could you please provide full project or simplified project?

Thanks!

I reproduced the problem, and I'll create issue about it soon.

Let us know if you need help to workaround it.

Great!

Thanks. I guess the workaround is to keep it open.
