Scope of extension functions

Am a bit confused about this. I have an extension function like this:

public val <T : Comparable<T>> Entry<T>.firstKey : T get() = this.getKey(0)

This (and others) are defined in a dedicated EntryFuncs.kt file.

This works fine for most of my code but in a test class the compiler says ‘Unresolved reference: firstKey’.

However, if I copy and paste the above line as-is into my test Kotlin file at the top, it works :S

I thought it might be something to do with main vs. test classes, but if I move my test class into src/main/java, problem remains.

It’s like the compiler isn’t “seeing” the extension function from some classes.

Have tried to re-create a simpler example of my project layout to pin this down but can’t seem to.

Any help appreciated!

Did you import this function in the test class?

Hi Andrey, thanks for quick reply! Yes indeed that was the problem - how simple - duh!

It would be nice if the Kotlin plugin prompted to import in this case. I think it may also be good if, when moving a Kotlin file to another package, it prompted to change the package declaration in the file. I moved my test class to the same package to see if it would make a difference and of course it didn’t, because it stayed in the original package.

Thanks. Am really enjoying Kotlin!

I found elsewhere the plugin is prompting me to import the function - so probably just user error.
