autodsl can't generate code properly when it marks a nested class.

A minimal example is

package me.ctknight.uploadmanager

import com.autodsl.annotation.AutoDsl

class Test {
  @AutoDsl
  class NestClass(val whatever: String)
}

it generates

// Code generated by AutoDsl. Do not edit.
package me.ctknight.uploadmanager

import com.autodsl.annotation.AutoDslMarker
import kotlin.String
import kotlin.Unit
import kotlin.properties.Delegates

fun nestClass(block: NestClassAutoDslBuilder.() -> Unit): Test.NestClass = NestClassAutoDslBuilder().apply(block).build()

@AutoDslMarker
class NestClassAutoDslBuilder() {
    var whatever: String by Delegates.notNull()

    fun withWhatever(whatever: String): NestClassAutoDslBuilder = this.apply { this.whatever = whatever}

    fun build(): Test.NestClass = NestClass(whatever)
}

and compiler complaints about NestClass not found.
e: NestClassAutoDslBuilder.kt: (17, 35): Unresolved reference: NestClass

I think solutions can be

1. import the nested class

or

2. call the constructor with fully qualified name just like return type.

I personally prefer the second one.

First of all thanks for this library it is really looking great. The only issue I am having is that there is no compile time check if required variables where forgotten to be set. Do you know if it would be possible to get it working this way? There is some talk about this here btw: https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/automatically-generating-type-safe-builders-for-data-classes/14/2?u=mpadourek

Does this have any plans to support projects with kotlin mpp?

When updating the included sample app to the latest Kotlin and Gradle version, one gets compilation errors:

...\autodsl\samples\android-autodsl\app\build\tmp\kapt3\stubs\debug\com\autodsl\sample\AnimSequence.java:7: error: There was an error while processing your annotated classes. error = 
public final class AnimSequence implements com.autodsl.sample.Anim {
             ^...\autodsl\samples\android-autodsl\app\build\tmp\kapt3\stubs\debug\com\autodsl\sample\AnimTogether.java:7: error: There was an error while processing your annotated classes. error =

Is this already known? Is there a fix or workaround?

Hey @juanchosaravia, I'd like to apply @AutoDsl on classes contained within a separate Gradle/Maven module or dependency, i.e. not in the current source.

Is something this in the roadmap? Should i try patching up a PR?

For the latter please note i'll probably have to:

• Add an @AutoDslMixin annotation
• Add a dependency to my kotlin-utils' kapt module

The implementation would allow something like:

@AutoDslMixin(
      dslName = "whatever", // Default: "person"
      dslSource = Person::class)
class PersonMixin

sealed class Test {
    @AutoDsl
    data class TestOne(val route: Route) : Test()

    @AutoDsl
    data class TestTwo(val route: Route) : Test()
}

actual the auto dsl not has support to selead class, there is any plan to add this support?

Hey!

Really nice idea, library looks prettry good as well, I had found my self doing the same boleirplate code that this library smothly generate :)

I only have one question why use + plus symbol for collections, IMHO it looks verbose.

 friends {
        +person {
            name = "Arturo"
            age = 28
        }
        +person {
            name = "Tiwa"
            age = 30
        }
    }

over

 friends {
        person {
            name = "Arturo"
            age = 28
        }
        person {
            name = "Tiwa"
            age = 30
        }
    }

(In my code I only instance builder with empty mutable collection and then add each item so generated dsl looks cleaner)

I tried to extend test Person class:
@AutoDsl // indicates to create an associated DSL for this class class Person( val name: String, val age: Int, val address: Address?, val friends: List<Person>?, @AutoDslCollection(concreteType = TreeSet::class) // specify concrete type val keys: Set<String>?, val items: Map<String, String> = emptyMap() )
It doesn't work. Is it a bug?
