Adonis V5 provider depending on another provider.

[Xstoudi]

Hello!

I'm currently developing an Adonis5 provider that contains a class that needs to extend a class from another provider.

Currently, the code of MY provider is the following :

import { IocContract } from '@adonisjs/fold'
import { YYY } from '../YYY'

export default class UserProvider {
  constructor (protected container: IocContract) {
  }

  public register () {
    this.container.singleton('XXX/YYY', () => {
      return new YYY(this.container)
    })
  }

  public boot () {
    // IoC container is ready

  }

  public shutdown () {
    // Cleanup, since app is going down
  }

  public ready () {
    // App is ready
  }
}

The YYY class is a singleton that instantiate class ZZZ. The ZZZ class needs to extend class from another provider.

The problem is that right now, importing the parent class from another provider leads to an IocLookupException.

How can I ensure that the parent class is already known by the IoC container before importing it?

Can you share the code that attempts to extend the class?

It is literally class XXX extends YYY {} but that not the core problem.
I'm gonna create a repro repo containing what I would like to do and what I found to monkey-patch.
