autocomplete for room query stopped working?

Issue

After opening my room dao I noticed that the autocomplete for Query annotation does not work at all. Not only that, but it also does not check any SQL queries I try to enter for errors and spelling mistakes:

( I purposefully used "FRR" instead of "FROM" to show that the error correction does not work )

I've already tried to invalidate caches and restarting android studio, but that changed nothing. Any ideas?

(also, just for the sake of it: The autocomplete works for standard kotlin code, just not inside that query string)

Solution

If you compile, then the error will be detected and will be available in the build log.

e.g.

E:\AndroidStudioApps\SO72784799KotlinRoomJSON11\app\build\tmp\kapt3\stubs\debug\a\a\so72784799kotlinroomjson1_1\AllDao.java:35: error: extraneous input 'FRR' expecting {<EOF>, ';', K_ALTER, K_ANALYZE, K_ATTACH, K_BEGIN, K_COMMIT, K_CREATE, K_DELETE, K_DETACH, K_DROP, K_END, K_EXPLAIN, K_INSERT, K_PRAGMA, K_REINDEX, K_RELEASE, K_REPLACE, K_ROLLBACK, K_SAVEPOINT, K_SELECT, K_UPDATE, K_VACUUM, K_VALUES, K_WITH, UNEXPECTED_CHAR}
    public abstract java.util.List<a.a.so72784799kotlinroomjson1_1.AddedPhotoEntity> getSomething();

• The above used an existing project with a function in an @Dao annotated interface based upon

:-

@Query("SELECT * FRR AddedPhotoEntity")
fun getSomething(): List<AddedPhotoEntity>

Although at one time SQL was checked/auto completed for Room annotations, this hasn't been the case for some time now. Frequently compiling and checking the build log, is (IMHO) a must.
