How do I determine if a property has a backing field?

[dylanenabled]

Wanted end result.

I have a test which ensures that kotlinx @Serializable classes use snake case @SerialName for the fields that will be serialised (the actual names use camel case). However some of the fields are properties that are computed via lazy delegates and so are not serialized, thus they don't need the @SerialName annotation and the test should skip them.

I want to be able to check in my test if the property has a backing field or not to skip those properties.

What you tried so far.

I am currently using a check for hasImplementation || delegateName != null to skip but it seems possible that even if hasImplementation is true, it could still have a backing field.

Thx for the feedback.

We will add a dedicated hasBackingField property:
https://lemonappdev.atlassian.net/browse/KON-600

In the meantime you can access text property of each property setter and look for field = string.

Konsist
            .scopeFromProject()
            .properties()
            .setters
            .assertTrue { it.text.contains("field =") }

Thanks for your attention. Do we have any timeline for this feature?
