Is there no way to get a project property defined in gradle.properties without declaring a variable? I want to access a property but I only use the value once. I would like to get the value inline if possible but the docs seem to only use delegates

Does

kotlin-tooling-metadata.json

matter for dependencies of an MPP project with only JVM/Android targets?

The kt version of gradle 8 has been upgraded to 1.8, but why can't use the context receiver syntax in kts

I shared a proposal to introduce a Kotlin DSL idiomatic API that would be a subset of the current one, in order to reduce the complexity and the huge API surface currently exposed with many ways to do the same thing. That could allow to provide a much better DevXP without breaking Groovy DSL and the Gradle ecosystem. Please vote for https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/24154 if you think that makes sense.

Have a kotlin multiplatform library I want to publish, but would like consumers to express capabilities when consuming so that they don't get a shit ton of unnecessary transitive dependencies. Something like Rust's

features

expression where consumers opt-in to a feature and the build system handles it. Anyone know how I might best achieve this?

any one can help me with this issue : i updated all activities on manifest to android:exported=true but is still not fixed

Installation failed due to: 'Failed to commit install session 169461024 with command package install-commit 169461024.

I have a pure Kotlin project with a few external dependencies. I thought IntelliJ dependency tool window would allow me to find updates to them. However, while it shows all of them, clicking on the version number drop-down only shows the current version, even if newer stable versions are available. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Hello, is the correct channel to ask about

Gradle Managed Devices

? I'm having some issues while running the

Hi, I'm trying to prepare my Kotlin project (ofc using Kotlin DSL with Gradel) to publish on Maven Central. However that is not my question. My question is that, if I have some plugins or other general build tool configuration that I want all other subprojects to inherit. Can I in my root build.gradle.kts define it and all other projects will get the same config? In my root, I have settings.gradle.kts:

include ("library-dir")

Will all of the includes get this? Or how can I do this if not? I just want to avoid writing the same config on several places. Follow-up question regarding the publishing part: • Should I have different versions of the libraries of my SDK? I saw that for example Ktor has the same versions for all libraries since they use a variable to define as

$ktor_version

implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-core:$ktor_version")
implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-cio:$ktor_version")

I noticed that there's no built in way to copy test resources from one submodule to a submodule that depends on it. What is the recommended way to include this file:

core/src/test/resources/logback-test.xml

? To the relevant build directory of all of these submodules that depend on the core module:

submodule1/build/resources/test
submodule2/build/resources/test
...

is there a Kotlin Multiplatform equivalent for the Java Test Fixtures plugin? I want to share test helpers between subprojects, per target platform (so there would be jvmTestFixtures, jsTestFixtures, etc).

Hello! Is it possible to remove common dependency from target of Gradle Kotlin multiplatform project?

Hi. Is it possible to add multiple sourceSets for android and ios? Currently, i've got android and ios which are used by native apps, and react bridge in separate module. I wonder if I can add android("reactNative") and ios("reactNative") sourceSets to KMM module and keep react native-related stuff in there, like, for example, the React Native bridge?

When we import other modules, there is an optional configuration in the project. How do i receive this configuration String in other module?

implementation(project(path = ":AnyModule", configuration = null))

I want to create convention plugins to simplify my build. However, I have projects that use either

kotlin("jvm")

,

kotlin("js")

or

kotlin("multiplatform")

. Is it possible to create a convention plugin that configures all of them? I don't want to create one plugin per Kotlin plugin…

Does anyone know what the Android plugin maven coordinates are? In convention plugins, we're supposed not to use the plugin ID

I'm getting when applying the Kotlin Multiplatform plugin as well as the Android library plugin…

Could not create an instance of type org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.mpp.KotlinAndroidTarget.
> Could not generate a decorated class for type KotlinAndroidTarget.
   > com/android/build/gradle/api/BaseVariant

The error message doesn't help me at all, where should I look for to fix this?

Is there any example on how to use gradle version catalog toml where the BOM of spring boot is defined as platform so I don’t need to specify any version of the dependencies that is already provided by that BOM? And how do I override/pin just one version let’s say for the H2 database (com.h2databsse) to an older version? And add additional dependencies that are not there in the spring boot BOM?

Hi! When using Kotlin with Gradle, should I define

java.toolchain

or

kotlin.toolchain

in my

build.gradle.kts

or both? What is the difference between the two?

Is there a way to mark custom Kotlin source set as a "test source set" in IDEA via Gradle? I know that there is a way to mark standard Gradle source set (via

idea { module { testSources.from(<path to the source directory>) } }

). But Kotlin source sets are not standard Gradle source set... (Here is the use case.) I have a project with separate benchmarks source set. (Which is used in kotlinx.benchmark.) And benchmark tasks are marked as test ones. But the source set is not. So I want to "fix" the difference.

How can I specify a BOM in a multiplatform project?

kotlin {
    jvm()
    android()

    sourceSets {
        val androidMain by getting {
            dependencies {
                implementation(platform(libs.androidx.compose.bom)) // Unresolved reference: platform
                implementation(libs.androidx.compose.material3)
            }
        }
    }
}

is it possible to reach

libs

from

gradle/libs.versions.toml

in pre-compiled scripts located in

buildScr/src/main/kotlin

?

Happy to see that the old Groovy property assignment syntax is now (experimentally) supported! https://docs.gradle.org/8.1-rc-1/release-notes.html#experimental-simple-property-assignment-in-kotlin-dsl-scripts FTR, I reported this issue almost six years ago (proper support for array assignment

property = [...]

depends on collection literals): https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl-samples/issues/324 Also related: https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl-samples/issues/712

I kinda think it's an awful idea to try to make kotlin look like groovy. Many of Gradle's papercuts are because of ambiguous groovy syntax leading to unexpected code paths

Is there any good documentation about the kotlin mpp gradle plugin for Gradle plugin authors? How to get the targets, the sourcesets and the tasks per target, ideally all lazy? And btw what's the use-case for creating

ObserableSet

and not using

NamedDomainObjectSet

? 🤔

I have a Kotlin Multiplatform project that uses Kotlin/JS and Kotlin/JVM. Here's a short version of my

build.gradle.kts

plugins {
  kotlin("multiplatform")
  application
}

application {
  mainClass.set("path.to.my.MainKt")
}

kotlin {
  js()
  jvm()
}

I'd like to use

gradlew run

to run the

path.to.my.MainKt

file, but the

run

task doesn't want to use the runtime classpath in

jvmMain

. How do I fix this problem?

How to add Jacoco plugin to TOML version catalog file Instead of

id("jacoco")

in the plugins section of build.gradle I would like to use

alias(libs.plugins.jacoco)

Hi all - i have a kotlin multiplatform project with multiple modules

// module-1 build.gradle.kts
plugin {
  kotlin("multiplatform")
}

// module-2 build.gradle.kts
plugin {
  kotlin("jvm")
}

// module-3 build.gradle.kts
plugin {
  kotlin("js")
}

how do I enable

explicitApi

mode for

allprojects{}

of the root build.gradle.pks ?

// root build.gradle.kts
allprojects {
  extensions.configure<KotlinMultiplatformExtension> { explicitApi() } // Extension of type 'KotlinMultiplatformExtension' does not exist. 
}

Investigating moving a large-ish multi-project monorepo from maven to Gradle -

gradle init

tries to convert but seems to miss the Kotlin plugin; picks up on some Java (mostly generated via Jooq) and creates only a

java-conventions

file (so never actually tries to compile any of the kotlin) - does anyone know what that tool looks for to pick up on Kotlin in the pom?
