Kotlin Poet empty constructor generation - inheritance

Question

I'm trying to print a call to superclass' constructor using KotlinPoet. My current (not compiling) output is:

open class NameOfASubclass : NameOfSuperclass {
}

In order to make my code compile I need to (somehow) either print

open class NameOfASubclass : NameOfSuperclass() {
}

or

open class NameOfASubclass : NameOfSuperclass {
constructor()
}

I cannot achieve it using KotlinPoet. Any ideas?

sure `PACKAGE_NAME = resolvePackageName(classModel) val className = resolveDataModelClassName(classModel.className) val builder = KotlinFile.builder(PACKAGE_NAME, className) builder.addType(TypeSpec.classBuilder(className).addModifiers(KModifier.OPEN).primaryConstructor(FunSpec.constructorBuilder().build()) .superclass(resolveSuperClass(classModel)).build())` — hhg, Jul 11 '17 at 13:57

This is a bug. Here's the issue for it and here is the commit that fixes it.

There hasn't been a new release since this commit (16 of June), the last stable version is 0.3.0 (11th of June). Hopefully a new release is coming soon - there's been lots of work done since the previous one.
