Does compose multiplatform support Bazel?

I have a multiplatform application compose library. How do I properly support desktop + js with the latest version of compose, given that they use 2 different versions of Kotlin?

Do ClickableText composables support Modifier.testTag()? Below I have an example of what I want to do and beneath that the error message I am getting. Sample:

ClickableText(
            text = "Awesome text",
            modifier = Modifier.testTag("SOME_TEST_TAG"),
            onClick = { ... }
        )

ErrorMessage:

Failed to assert the following: (OnClick is defined)
Reason: Expected exactly '1' node but could not find any node that satisfies: (TestTag = 'SOME_TEST_TAG')
However, the unmerged tree contains '1' node that matches. Are you missing `useUnmergedNode = true` in your finder?

I'm trying to get the desktop target of a compose MP build working with proguard. It runs fine when packaged w/o proguard, but with proguard it produces the following error:

Error: Unable to initialize main class packageName.MainKt
Caused by: java.lang.VerifyError: Expecting a stackmap frame at branch target 58

I feel slightly daft asking this, but which IDE are you supposed to use for compose desktop?

Is there something like a "logging panel" UI widget that provides an "appender" for a logging frameworks like Logback to display log statatements in the UI, similar to like IDEs do?

Is the Jetbrains Space Desktop application created with Compose/Desktop?

Has anyone here tried using the RxJava3 extensions for Compose in Compose Desktop? I have the right maven coordinates in my build.gradle.kts dependencies block, but IntelliJ can't resolve the

subscribeAsState

functions outlined in the docs here https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/runtime/rxjava3/package-summary

Can anyone help me understand why constructing a

MaterialTheme

object like this

MaterialTheme(colors = darkColors()) {
    Text("Hello, world!")
}

doesn't change anything? The surface color should be

0xFF121212

(dark grey) and the text white, but my app still opens with a white surface color and black text which is the default light theme color.

Why was the decision made to support proguard workflows, instead of an r8 workflow? R8 has many more compose optimizations, right?

can I develope a compose desktop app using the

kotlin("jvm")

gradle plugin instead of

kotlin("multiplatform")

gradle plugin??

Hey, folks! Does anyone knows is there is as way to implement tabs in compose desktop?

Hello! How to enable LazyColumn scrolling by gestures? Now I'm able to scroll only by mouse wheel.

Hi all! I am writing a small toolbox-style app, and I am using kotlinx serialization to deserialize a YAML file via the Kaml library. All works perfectly when launching the app directly, but by generating a package (e.g. dmg or msi) and installing the app, it seems the de-serializer gets thrown out. That, and also the

packageDmg

also uses proguard, when it isn’t supposed to as per documentation, and also disabling obfuscation via the

buildTypes.release.proguard.obfuscate = false

still runs proguard. Very strange. Any ideas? This is the error I get:

Another question, which I don’t know how other people have tackled. The JetBrains Toolbox app has its main UI in what I suppose is a dialog, transparent and undecorated. But still, it has a shadow produced by the system, both in MacOS and Windows. I have a similar setup (I have tried both with a Window and with a Dialog, which I create manually via the

Dialog

factory function with the

create

block, in which I make a

ComposeDialog

with all the settings), but my dialog seems to not being picked up by the system’s shadow creation routine (or whatever it can be called!). I have checked the system’s window sizes and I know for sure JetBrains Toolbox is not creating a fake shadow (e.g. a shadow drawn by Compose) and the shadow is instead system-native, and it also follows very nicely the shape of the transparent dialog. Anyone who knows how to achieve a similar setup?

Could anyone try to help me understand something with

Flow

and

Compose

? One of the predominant lessons I've been learning is "make your composables stateless by hoisting". I'm trying to adhere to this by exposing as much state as makes sense through properties on my view models. For example, my data layer has an in-memory Repository that exposes a collection of items through a

Flow

. My view model is meant to

collect

that flow as state, and expose that state to my

Table

composable to be displayed on the screen. But since

collectAsState

is marked as

@Composable

I can't call it from my view model. As I see it I could either pass the

Flow

directly through my view model to my

Table

composable or stick with

mutableStateOf

and collect the

Flow

internally to the view model and just expose the

MutableState

to my

Table

. More generally, though, it feels like the two ideas "state through the view model" and "collectAsState is Composable-only" are at odds here, which makes me think there's "the way" to do this sort of thing that I'm not seeing right now.

open class A {
  
  @Composable
  fun test(
    x: String,
    lambda: @Composable () -> Unit = {} // runtime exception below is caused by this parameter 
  ) {
     Text(x)
     lambda()	
  }

}


open class B  : A {

}


open class C : B { // C -> B - > A

  @Composable 
  fun anotherTest() {
    test("1") // while incremental compile (change for example "1" -> "2") throws runtime error: java.lang.ClassCastException: class androidx.compose.runtime.internal.ComposableLambdaImpl cannot be cast to class kotlin.jvm.functions.Function0 
  }

}

Compose Desktop version 1.3.0-alpha01-dev831 Edit: In my case A, B are located in one Gradle module, while C in another. But may be it will reproduce when all classes in the same module (I didn't check it).

has anyone used koin with annotations in multiplatform(desktop, android) project?

Hi Everyone !. Just new to the channel . i am exploring building a desktop app for my firm with compose for desktop . i want to know is it a good idea to do ?. Is compose for desktop stable ? . and please what are its limitations or issues. the app already works on android and i am trying to build a desktop counterpart for it . The app basically deals with databases , internet . and printing . i would like to know your experiences. Thank you very much for your anticipated answers !!

How do I share images with compose-android?

Every once in a while, I start getting

e: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: androidx/compose/compiler/plugins/kotlin/ComposeComponentRegistrar has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 53.0

in both IntelliJ and terminal build with compose desktop. My Java stays on

11.0.16+11-LTS-199

in both places. Once that starts, pretty much the only way out is to reboot my machine. Is there anything I can run to help diagnose this once it starts happening? Otherwise I’m not sure how useful it would be to file it as a bug.

I'm working on a dropdown selector. Has anyone come up with an acceptable solution? My current implementation in thread.

Is

.shadow

somehow stretching with the size of the component?

Column {
            Box(modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp).size(width = 800.dp, height = 200.dp).shadow(4.dp).background(Color.White))
            Box(modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp).size(width = 1600.dp, height = 200.dp).shadow(4.dp).background(Color.White))
        }

I thought it was related to the ambient and spot color parameters, but it isn't. Changing them has no impact?

MacOs changes the tray icon colors depending on the wallpaper set. I am currently using an svg as my tray icon. is there a way to detect the color and apply the one needed accordingly? I gave isSystemInDarkTheme() a go but those colors are unrelated to the system theme
