String alias defined outside of package is not resolved

[RealAnna]

How to reproduce:

have a common.go file with a simple string alias

i.e. type KeptnState string

import the alias in an API type. The generated docs point to nothing.

type KeptnWorkloadInstanceStatus struct {
    // PreDeploymentStatus indicates the current status of the KeptnWorkloadInstance's PreDeployment phase.
    // +kubebuilder:default:=Pending
    PreDeploymentStatus common.KeptnState `json:"preDeploymentStatus,omitempty"`

See the autogenerated table here KeptnState, and the type is here the alias is defined here

I think the problem may be due to this change here: https://github.com/elastic/crd-ref-docs/commit/365ecbe3898eee7d95858dba7e13d4903d2faefb

As a temporary solution we are changing type.tpl to

|{{ .Name }}{{ if .Type.IsAlias }}_{{ markdownRenderTypeLink .Type.UnderlyingType }}_{{else}}_{{ markdownRenderType .Type }}_{{ end }} | {{ template "type_members" . }} |

but the Underlying type is missing in the generated types so this is not a nice way to visualize it ...

Parsing appears to be sane

[tenstad]

The package is skipped due to https://github.com/elastic/crd-ref-docs/blob/c62fbcdc507f62d81189874b017859c2f269e4b0/processor/processor.go#L164-L167

By adding group version info, the type is generated in documentation: https://github.com/elastic/crd-ref-docs/pull/66/commits/85c6ceec4530af89ab77431799782aa4a876bdb8

@RealAnna can you try adding a +groupName marker on the package?

// +groupName=webapp.test.k8s.elastic.co
package common

[RealAnna]

@tenstad thanks for having a look at this, I will try!

[RealAnna]

// +groupName=lifecycle.keptn.sh
// +versionName=v1beta1
package common

worked like a charm! Thank you 😄!
