Recommended Kotlin directory structure is unsupported

[micheljung]

From the Kotlin coding conventions:

Source code organization

Directory Structure

In pure Kotlin projects, the recommended directory structure follows the package structure with the common root package omitted. For example, if all the code in the project is in the org.example.kotlin package and its subpackages, files with the org.example.kotlin package should be placed directly under the source root, and files in org.example.kotlin.network.socket should be in the network/socket subdirectory of the source root.

However, if you do this, you get:

Didn't find org.example.kotlin.network.socket.ExampleTest under C:\work\example

hello,

any chance you can point us to a project that uses that structure, or perhaps even create a project with just a few files to play around with this use-case?

[micheljung]

Hi, I'll try to next week.

Hi @LarsEckart , here you go: https://github.com/micheljung/approvaltests-352 :)

[LarsEckart]

oh wow, skipping the folders for root level but still declaring package for them, now I understand. That will be interesting.

[ScottBob]

I think Kotlin now works. See https://github.com/[approvals/Approvaltests.Kotlin.StarterProject. If not, please reopen.

@ScottBob the example does not demonstrate the case.

Kotlin recommends this:

src/main/Person.kt:

package com.example
class Person

which doesn't work. The linked starter, however, does this:

src/main/com/example/Person.kt:

package com.example
class Person

Which has always worked.

Please reopen this issue, since I have no permission to do so.
