    • setUseNamesInPath

      public CtElementPathBuilder setUseNamesInPath​(boolean useNamesInPath)
      Configures what kind of path is generated for List based attributes
      A) #superRole[index=x] - always use index to identify item of List. For example `#typeMember[index=7]`. Such paths are fast. B) #subRole[name=x] - use simpleName or signature of List item if possible. Use the most specific role too. For example `#field[name=counter]` or `#method[signature=getCounter()]`. Such paths are more readable but slower.
      Parameters:
      useNamesInPath - if true then names are used instead of index
      Returns:
