[BUG] Resolution error with proofs plugin when using certain types from other packages. about arrow-meta HOT 5 OPEN

@raulraja I'd be happy to look at this one if you have some suggestion for where I might look.

Hi @Sintrastes , I believe your proposed fix can be applied here https://github.com/arrow-kt/arrow-meta/blob/main/plugins/proofs/proofs-plugin/src/main/kotlin/arrow/meta/plugins/proofs/phases/quotes/GenerateGivenSupportingFunctions.kt#L76-L103

@raulraja Thanks for the suggestion.

Unfortunately, it looks like this is not as easy of a fix as I thought. This may still be part of the problem, but it actually looks like when the plugin tries to look up given instances for a generic class that is not defined in the current package, it can't actually find those instances.

I have a fork here where I've added a test to try and catch this issue -- and there I am actually getting this error before the unresolved reference error I was getting before:

error found: /tmp/Kotlin-Compilation14835146631616204679/sources/Test.kt: (29, 27): 
    There is no Proof for this type [ERROR : Semigroup] to resolve this call. Either define 
      a corresponding GivenProof or provide an evidence explicitly at this call-site.

from arrow-meta.

Although, for what it's worth, whenever I try to use it.type.getJetTypeFqName(true) instead of it.type -- it looks like all of the given tests fail with a pretty hefty BackendException that I don't understand in the slightest.

from arrow-meta.

That second error [ERROR : Semigroup] indicates an error type and probably just means that Semigroup was not resolved so maybe also missing the import or fqname for it.
