[BUG] Invalid ProblemDescriptor (element from wrong file) — SpringBeanIncorrectAutowiringInspection

[imuromtsev]

Summary

PluginException: ... created an invalid ProblemDescriptor, thrown by the platform (PluginProblemReporterImpl.createPluginExceptionByClass) because SpringBeanIncorrectAutowiringInspection registers a problem on a PSI element belonging to a different file than the one being inspected. ~37 events across 3 Sentry issues.

Where

• Root cause: SpringBeanIncorrectAutowiringInspection (named in the exception message)
• Thrown by platform: com.intellij.diagnostic.PluginProblemReporterImpl.createPluginExceptionByClass

Sentry

• #560 (18 events) https://sentry.explyt.ai/organizations/sentry/issues/560/?project=4
• #564 (15) https://sentry.explyt.ai/organizations/sentry/issues/564/?project=4
• #650 (4, SecurityContextAdapter variant) https://sentry.explyt.ai/organizations/sentry/issues/650/?project=4

Related existing issues

Likely the same inspection family as #187 (SpringInjectionAutowiringInspection PluginException) and #205 (PsiInvalidElementAccessException in SpringBeanIncorrectAutowiringInspection). Cross-check / possibly fix together.

Suggested direction (hypothesis)

Ensure registerProblem is given a PSI element inside the inspected file (the ProblemsHolder file). For cross-file targets, anchor the problem to an in-file element instead of the foreign element.
