For example:
Class common.number.Number.kt:
operator fun Int.plus(other: BigInteger): BigInteger {
return BigInteger(this.toString()).add(other)
}
Class common.test.Test.kt:
var i = 1 + BigInteger(“1”)
Then the Intellij Idea shows an error in class Test.kt. However, if I add the following import, the error disappears:
import common.number.Number.plus
How can I make IntelliJ Idea import this operator function automatically?
more detail see: java - Intellij Idea kotlin cannot auto import some operator function such as + - Stack Overflow
Thanks!

If both files are part of the same package you wont need to import the operator. Also instead of writing import common.number.Number.plus you should be could use import common.number.Number.*. That way you wont have to write the import for each operator.
Except for that there is no way to “skip” imports.
Why not idea suppots using alt+enter to auto import? just like auto import other class, function…
As far as I know idea will give you the option to add the import, as long as it can find the methods/classes/etc.
I just tested it. I had the option to add the import using alt+enter for and operator. So I guess for some reason idea does not “see” you operator. Are you sure your dependencies are working the way they should?

Is it a top-level function? For some reason, IntelliJ doesn’t like to auto import top-level functions. The Http4k library made the decision to use objects and override the invoke operator to overcome this issue.
are you sure your idea shows option for ±*/% operator by alt+enter? Note packages where they define and use are diffrent.
I override these operator between primitive numbers and BigInteger/BigDecimal, if I import them manually, it works, but they can not be imported autoly by idea.
Why IntelliJ doesn’t like to auto import top-level functions, is top-level function a bad design?
It worked for me. I had a n option using alt+enter to import the top-level operator. Not sure why it would not work for you
I’m not sure. Honestly, I need to double check since @Wasabi375 has it working. Are you trying to auto import from the same project as your common.number.Number.kt top-level function? Is it in the same module?
I remember there being a specific case where auto-import didn’t work for me–which did not include functions in the same project. This may explain why it auto import works for some top-level functions and not others.
I’m very sure alt+enter to import the top-level operator doesn’t work for me and they are in same project, same moudle
To be honest. I only had it working a minimal test project. I haven’t tried it in any project with multiple packages and dependencies, so there might still be cases where importing of operators is not working.
Same issue. But not only operators - extensions functions too.
FYI the original bug is tracked here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-22630.

Can you please report a separate issue at http://kotl.in/issue with sample code to reproduce? Thanks!
Year and year passed, now 2020 half passed, this problem is still present
What version of kotlin are you using? This should be fixed in kotlin 1.3.60.
latest kotlin 1.4.0 with latest IDEA 2020.2.1
