this looks like a spek question, but I promise it's not. Is there any way to extract this infix function out of the describe lambda and into a utility class or external location so that it's usable in other locations?

describe("tiny object should") {
        infix fun Any.mapsTo(expected: String) {
            val testObject by memoized { this }

            it("test value") {
                pp(testObject)
                outContent shouldRenderLike expected
            }
        }

        context("render a single field") {
            TinyObject(1) mapsTo
                """
                TinyObject(
                  int = 1
                )
                """
        }
    }

If I define createValue as refied, this method works, but then I need to know the Type to pass when I call createValue

Id like to be able to say - MetricFilter<Int>().createValue( <any object from json parsing> )

You can't do this with reified types, you'll need to check this using reflection unfortunately. Reification only works on a function-level, not class-level

Running some JUnit tests in CI this morning, and they failed with a bunch of errors:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: kotlin/reflect/jvm/internal/impl/metadata/ProtoBuf$EnumEntryOrBuilder

The tests all started passing again on the next build from the exact same source code ... any ideas on what might cause a

NoClassDefFoundError

in that class? Couldn't find anything else related in the logs.

@Nicole there's a #hiring channel here

wait, do you have just, a block after it?

I don’t think that’s legal/does what it does in Java in Kotlin

Hey guys

Can anybody take a look at this? https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-32228

It seems that generics is influencing the

class. Perhaps we're using it wrong?

And a single file with 20~ lines

In a project that only contains it

@LeoColman Try disabling plugins you don’t need, clean your build folder, then go to file > invalidate caches and restart, then build your project. That usually fixes things up for me.

I already have almost 0 plugins, the project is a step over Hello World

"Highlighting in scripts is not available until all Script Dependencies are loaded" Anyone get this when opening REPL?

Hi, everybody, I am writing a small library to handle csv file in Kotlin for a project of mine (https://github.com/herveDarritchon/kesve). In this project, I have Kotlin File (https://github.com/herveDarritchon/kesve/blob/master/src/main/kotlin/fr/hervedarritchon/utils/kesve/reflection/Reflection.kt). I have a test class to test this bunch of functions but the coverage in IntelliJ is 0%.

Do you know why ? Is there a pb between IntteliJ and Kotlin top level functions ?

Where as with Jacoco, it works as you can see.

I’ve been dealing with this bug: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-28587 Does anyone have any experience working around this in recent JDK versions? It feels weird to me that the two most recent JDK versions (11/12) apparently can’t build some basic kotlin for half a year now and the only workaround I have found is to downgrade to an unsupported JDK version.

It seems like there must be something else going on here.

Even

ObjectA.class

is not accepted

Is it possible to create a Type from a reified type at runtime using

Types.newParameterizedType

? I don't want to have to manually pass in the parameter type

Anyone have a nice clean example of building a JsonAdapter.Factory for Moshi?

Also, am I the only one that thinks

doesn't plug neatly into Kotlin's beautifully succinct class declaration syntax?

Is there any way to run blocking code inside a coroutine?

...never mind, solved my problem another way, by working out how to use a channel from a blocking thread.

thank you for accepting my request

Or should I just use GlobalScope since I don’t have a way to cleanup the coroutines anyway?
