Generation Fails When Referencing Inherited Properties

[AinoraZ]

Seems that the source generator does not pick up inherited properties.

public class ReproductionEntity : BaseEntity
{
    [Projectable]
    public int TotalChildren => Children.Count;
}

Will fail at build time with The name 'Children' does not exist in the current context.
Attaching minimal reproduction project. Minimal Reproduction.zip

EF Core version: 6.0.0
Projectables version: 2.0.2

Thanks for reporting this and a big thanks for including the repro!

It indeed seems as code generation issue, I will get on this in the coming days. In the meantime, you can use the following workaround:

    public class WorkAroundEntity : BaseEntity
    {
        
    }

    public static class WorkAroundEntityExtensions
    {
        [Projectable]
        public static int TotalChildren(this WorkAroundEntity workAroundEntity)
            => workAroundEntity.Children.Count;
    }

Perhaps a simpler workaround:

[Projectable]
public int TotalChildren => this.Children.Count;

By explicitly using this. The generator is aware of the actual receiver and will generate an acceptable expression

Tried this as such in the minimal repro project:

public class ReproductionEntity : BaseEntity
{
    [Projectable]
    public int TotalChildren => this.Children.Count;
}

Got error on build: Keyword 'this' is not valid in a static property, static method, or static field initializer.

@AinoraZ Apologies, I indeed have to conclude that the alternative suggested workaround also fails to compile
