depluralizeDictionary not working as expected

[overfullstack]

Here is my Style:

@Target(AnnotationTarget.CLASS)
@Retention(AnnotationRetention.SOURCE)
@Value.Style(
  typeImmutable = "*",
  typeAbstract = ["*Def"],
  builder = "configure",
  build = "off",
  put = "*",
  add = "*",
  depluralize = true,
  depluralizeDictionary = ["templatePath:templatePathsInOrder"],
  visibility = PUBLIC
)
annotation class Config

Here is my attribute @SkipNulls fun templatePathsInOrder(): List<String>

Expected: It should generate a templatePath() method
But it doesn't get generated.

Here is a sample project to demostrate: ImmutablesTest.java

I've tried it and it works as documented

    /**
     * Dictionary of exceptions — array of "singular:plural" pairs as alternative to mechanical "*s"
     * depluralization. Suppress trimming of trailing "s" for certain words by using exceptions of
     * form {@code "words:words"} or simply {@code "words"}. Important to note is that words will be
     * converted to lowercase and identifier in question consists of couple of words joined using
     * camel case — only a last segment will be considered for depluralization when matching
     * dictionary. Uninterpretable pairs will be ignored. By default no dictionary is supplied and
     * depluralization performed only by mechanical "*s" trimming.
     * <p>
     * This attribute is semi-deprecated in favor of using {@link Depluralize#dictionary()}
     * annotation which may be placed on a package, type or as meta-annotation. And dictionary will
     * be merged across all applicable definitions.
     * @see #depluralize()
     * @see Depluralize#dictionary()
     * @return array of "singular:plural" pairs.
     */
    String[] depluralizeDictionary() default {};

Your example tries to use depluralization as renaming and this is not an intended use. Only last word segment is considered for depluralization.

Ah! I see, thanks for answering and sorry for not going deep into the documentation. May I ask if you have anything in the backlog for the requirement I have, where I wish singular and plural builders to have different names?

Encodings can customize builders to a great degree, but those are based on the attribute type (overriding List<T>). https://immutables.github.io/encoding.html

Another option is to just have very special style with convention.

@Target(AnnotationTarget.CLASS)
@Retention(AnnotationRetention.SOURCE)
@Value.Style(
  typeImmutable = "*",
  typeAbstract = ["*Def"],
  builder = "configure",
  build = "off",
  put = "*",
  add = "*",
  get = ["*InOrder"], // <--- See this thing here, it would accept templatePathsInOrder accessor as "templatePaths"
  depluralize = true,
  visibility = PUBLIC
)
annotation class Config
