Describe the bug
The import of FOO from the other module is not detected.

To Reproduce

Reproducer project: https://github.com/SimonMarquis/DAGP-1590

// :foo
package com.example
const val FOO = "FOO"

// :bar
package com.example
const val BAR = FOO // This is not detected

// :bar
package com.example.other
import com.example.FOO
const val BAR = FOO // This is correctly detected

this might be related to #1465 but i did not want to download their project.

Thanks for the issue. Yes I think it might be the same issue. Unfortunately, detecting usage of constants from another module, particularly in a Kotlin codebase, is extremely tricky. kotlinc doesn't make use of the constant pool in .class files, so all the detection mechanisms in this project are heuristics. I can't really do anything about it. Your best option is to either exclude the bad advice or change your code to use different packages. The latter is arguably more correct anyway.

I'm going to close this as a duplicate.
