Has anyone been able to use

run {}

(

JavaExec

plug-in) in Gradle but in Kotlin? It can’t work out of the box since

run

is part of the standard library, but even importing it and renaming it to

_run

still won’t let me use Gradle’s

run

symbol…

Now that JDK 13 is GA, is it planned for

jvmTarget

setting in the build plugins to support

13

?

Hi All, Has anyone manage to run maven with failsafe plugin on Junit 5 with parallel execution ?

Oke I see it get jvm arguments from gradle daemon

Hi guys, can you recommend some good book/course for mastering the Gradle and CI for android development? Preferably something up to date/fresh. For example, is it good book? https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/gradle-android

Newbie in Kotlin here, would love to know what build tools community prefer for Kotlin dev in general.

I have question about kotlin gradle dsl. Does anyone know the replacement for

register("flavorName"){ initWith="otherFlavor" }

in kotlin build script?

[custom maven plugin] Hello! Anyone knows whether it is possible to make parameters required only when specifying target goals? It appears that required parameters are global even though target goal that depends on them might not be invoked...

[custom maven plugin] Hello! By any chance anyone here successfully configured

AbstractMojoTest

from

maven-plugin-testing-harness

using Gradle? e.g. in my multi module lib I’m building both gradle and maven plugins and currently looking into how to write unit tests for the maven plugin

Has anyone managed to publish their Gradle project to the GitLab Maven repository? I'd be very interested in how they did it

anyone know where I can find dokka-maven-plugin. The coordinates In maven I've got doesn't seem to be working

Has anyone used the docker-maven-plugin?

Hey folks! 👋 My name is Eugene, and I'm a product manager at JetBrains. In build-tools, 🛠️ we are seriously thinking about the roadmap and wondering what things might be considered as critical from your perspective. So, I have an ask for each of you. 📢 Please, let me know in the thread/privately what is important for you❗*.* It might be issues, pull-requests, feature requests, or even fundamental problems. This information will help me to focus my research. And hopefully, your issues become a part of the backlog. Thanks for your attention and happy coding)

Hi, I'm searching for a way to package a Kotlin executable JAR built with Gradle to distribute it to user. I managed to do it with shadowJar, but that means pushing multiple megabytes to CI/CD, when all the dependencies are already in maven repositories... It sounds like there should be a way to have the user automatically download all of those directly? My ultimate aim is to have a small bash/shell script that I could distribute, that would download everything and run it with the correct classpath

hey, Parcelize seems to be backwards incompatible in 1.4.20 which puts libraries in a bit of a bind, can the extension plugin -> parcelize plugin be done in a backwards compatible way or is it too late?

Hi folks. Noob here. I have an issue where a Kotlin + Java module builds succesfully in IntelliJ IDEA but fails when I run

mvn clean install

from the command line (and JitPack). More details in this thread any help would be appreciated.

Hey, do you know if is it possible to print the final

kotlinc

shell command when compiling some kotlin sources with ant?

Does anybody know or had experience with other build tools, such as Bazel, Buck, Pants, Buildr, etc. on Kotlin projects? Is it even supported? Also I’m aware of Kobalt, has anyone used it?

Hello 👋 Anyone knows if there is a

kotlin-maven-plugin

documentation site that lists all of the available goals and configurations? e.g. there is https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/using-maven.html but it doesn't mention

script

goal (example from IT https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/libraries/tools/kotlin-maven-plugin-test/src/it/test-executeKotlinScriptBuildAccess/pom.xml#L31)

Hi! I'm trying to publish a multiplatform library to MavenCentral (via Gradle and

maven-publish

). The Kotlin documentation states that it's necessary to define an

artifact

block "in the publication's scope". What does that mean exactly? Do you know of an example/open source project that does that?

Hello folks! Question on gradle and docker, from the perspective: we will have to run gradle to build our product within a docker container. Are there any best practices for such a setup? (the online resources I found mostly talk about using docker by gradle, to establish test configurations and such, but not how to run gradle inside docker) Myself, I can think of: • make sure that the build cache is shared across docker runs to avoid constant “starting from 0” • make sure that gradle does NOT run as server (at least for us, our docker sessions are invoked for a built, and then discarded) • make sure the desired gradle version is installed in the docker image you are using What are your thoughts?

Anyone know if there's a way to map Kotlin's compiler warnings (the ones that get spit out to the command line) into some artifact that we could analyze? Maybe a checkstyle-y XML report? We're not yet at a point where we can turn on warnings-as-errors, but we want to measure and add accountability to teams owning areas with lots of warnings

As we use Kotlin Multiplatform more broadly, we're (thankfully!) having more iOS and frontend web friends contributing to the KMP codebase.  I'm looking into ways to automate and enforce consistency for dev environment setup, and a common sticking point is just getting the JDK installed and working. Are Kotlin build tasks (especially multiplatform ones) compatible with Gradle's Java Toolchain declaration? https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/toolchains.html

I’m using the

kotlin-dsl

and the

buildSrc

folder in my project. It relies on

jCenter

which is at end of life. Does anyone know what repository I need to migrate to?

I have a multi-module Gradle build using Gradle Kotlin DSL. I would like to share a common configuration for the Kotlin plugin across the modules, for example the "used experimental annotations". For example I have this snippet:

kotlin {
    sourceSets.all {
        languageSettings.useExperimentalAnnotation("kotlin.RequiresOptIn")
    }
}

I would like to move this into buildSrc so in the modules I can just do:

kotlin {
    configureExperimentalAnnotations()
}

To do this, I'd want to do this as an extension function on

KotlinProjectExtension

, but I have no idea which dependency I need in the

buildSrc

Gradle script for that.

kotlin-gradle-plugin

doesn't have it. Any advice?

Hi all - when using the

kotlin-maven-plugin

, is there a way to exclude a dependency from the test compile classpath? Context - I’m migrating a project from JUnit 4 to JUnit 5. But it uses testcontainers, which has a transitive dependency on JUnit 4. It’s really easy to accidentally use JUnit 4 annotations, and then find your tests aren’t running… I’d like to exclude JUnit 4 from the test compile classpath so that if you do so you find out fast. Maven doesn’t distinguish between compile & runtime for test scope (why not?!) so I can’t just drop it down to be a runtime scoped dependency. I could exclude it as a dependency of testcontainers, but: a) that would exclude it from the runtime classpath, and testcontainers probably needs it b) the odds are some other dependency will bring it in, now or later… playing whack-a-mole like that is zero fun (Yes it would be easy in Gradle. No I’m not up for having that fight now.)

I’m trying JDK 16 and I see next

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class org.jetbrains.kotlin.kapt3.base.KaptContext (in unnamed module @0x52c27981) cannot access class com.sun.tools.javac.util.Context (in module jdk.compiler) because module jdk.compiler does not export com.sun.tools.javac.util to unnamed module @0x52c27981

Any ideas? It is JDK 16 ARM and quite standard android project

Is this dependency "multiplication" normal at the "External libraries" in Idea? It is a Gradle project.

Anyone run into this problem where the GENERATE button doesn’t work?
