[Bug]: Expecting a top level declaration

What happened?

After changing package name from 'dev.atick' to 'dev.shoaib', I'm facing one weird issue in one Kotlin extension file where red line is shown on ViewModel text that says Expecting a top level declaration.
dev.atick word is now in only 4 firebase related files.
Is there anything I am missing?

context(viewModel: ViewModel)
inline fun <T : Any> MutableStateFlow<UiState<T>>.updateWith(
    crossinline operation: suspend T.() -> Result<Unit>,
) {...}

Relevant logcat output

e: file:///Users/user/StudioProjects/mirror-you/core/ui/src/main/kotlin/dev/shoaib/core/ui/utils/StatefulComposable.kt:139:20 Unresolved reference 'ViewModel'.

Hi @ShoaibKakal! Thanks for checking out the project and reporting this!

The Expecting a top level declaration message you're seeing isn't actually an error that affects build or runtime behavior. The code should compile and run just fine.

This is happening because the project recently added a experimental Kotlin feature called Context Parameters, which was introduced in Kotlin 2.2.0. Unfortunately, Android Studio hasn't fully caught up with support for this feature yet, so it incorrectly flags the context(viewModel: ViewModel) declaration as an error. You can rollback just a couple of commits to this one if you don't wan't this feature.

This is purely a tooling issue, and it should be resolved in an upcoming Android Studio release once support for Kotlin 2.2.0 features is available.

Hi @ShoaibKakal! I appreciate you bringing this up!

I realized this might be confusing for others as well, so I went ahead and reverted the recent commits that introduced the context parameters feature. You can now pull the latest version and it should work without any issues or red flags in Android Studio.

Once Android Studio fully supports this Kotlin feature, I’ll reintroduce it with proper documentation to avoid any confusion.

Thanks again for the feedback! 🙌
