References to external dependencies can't be found on top-level statements

[RenanKummer]

Auto-import is not working for top-level statements referring to external dependencies.

@RestController
class HelloController {
    
    @GetMapping("/hello")
    fun getHello(): Map<String,String> {
        return mapOf(Pair("message","Hello world!"));
    }
}

In the code above, auto-import works for @GetMapping (inside the class), but it doesn't work for @RestController (top-level). The following exception is thrown by kotlin-language-server:

expression.kt
@RestController
public class HelloController {
    
    @GetMapping("/hello")
    fun getHello(): Map<String,String> {
        return mapOf(Pair("message", "Hello world!"));
    }
}

In fact, simply moving the cursor through keyboard or mouse click to any place outside the class declaration already triggers this exception.

Given that Spring Boot heavily depends on top-level annotations to work, this is a damaging bug.

Hello there!

Getting the same problem here, I can confirm this is a damaging bug 😕.

Is there any temporary fix? @fwcd

Hi all,

Just following up on this. Any chances a fix could be included in the roadmap?

I'm sorry, didn't meant to be rude.
Have a nice day.
