kotlinlang #gradle

Hi. It seems I've already gotten answer for this newbie question but it's already behind the time horizon, I can't find it. What is the proper way to access existing tasks for configuring them? For example I want to add a spring profile when running application via gradle. Now I'm doing it like this:

val run: JavaExec by tasks
run.systemProperties["spring.profiles.active"] = "dev"

Second line is ok, but the first one looks like get any Task from map by name and cast it to JavaExec. Where is my strict typed model?) Or I want to run coberturaReport prior to test:

val test by tasks
val coberturaReport by tasks
test.dependsOn(coberturaReport)

Ok, no casts but still getting tasks from map by name.

anyone know how IntelliJ decides that a kotlin gradle file is meant to be interpreted in the right way?

I've filed an issue and included a demo project: https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/issues/590

And why isn't there a 'jar' plugin provided by default, when there is a 'war' one?

Why do not use shadow gradle plugin? https://github.com/johnrengelman/shadow

Hey, if I've created a custom sourceSet, how can I access that sourceSets configurations?

How it is correct to use

kotlinVersion

in the section

plugins

val kotlinVersion: String by extra

plugins {
    kotlin("jvm") version kotlinVersion
}

Unresolved reference: kotlinVersion

Are there any known problems using kotlin 4.3 with gradle kotlin-dsl in intellij? Whenever I try it fails to recognize kotlin syntax in my sub-application build.gradle.kts, but it works fine with 4.2.

@bamboo @eskatos Have either of you had a chance to look at my two PR's?

@x80486 what isnt working?

Lucas

@x80486 Try

project.property("artUser")

. For example:

gradle.properties

artUser=john

build.gradle.kts

val sayUser by tasks.creating {
    doLast {
        println(project.property("artUser")) // john
    }
}

Is there a way to exclude kts files from a build. By default gradle fails with a

java.lang.RuntimeException: Primary constructor not found for script template class ScriptTemplateWithArgs (not found)
	at org.jetbrains.kotlin.codegen.ScriptCodegen.genConstructor(ScriptCodegen.java:161)
	at org.jetbrains.kotlin.codegen.ScriptCodegen.generateBody(ScriptCodegen.java:103)

if there’s a kts file sitting somewhere in the source roots.

Hey, if I'm having issues with the Kotlin DSL in an Android project, there should I post this issue? Right in this channel?

To be more precise, I'm having troubles using / applying the variantFilter (https://google.github.io/android-gradle-dsl/current/com.android.build.api.variant.VariantFilter.html) and the outputFileName (https://developer.android.com/studio/build/gradle-plugin-3-0-0-migration.html#variant_output) with the latest Gradle.

hi there I am trying to use the gradle kotlin dsl and define properties in the following way:

var kotlin_version by extra { "1.1.60" }

and I am getting an unresolved reference 😞 even though I have seen some examples that do that instead I have to do this:

var kotlin_version: String by extra
kotlin_version = "1.1.60"

am I doing something wrong?

@bamboo or @eskatos Can one of you explain what the issue with Kotlin 1.6 is. I'm not really certain that I understand from the issues that I've read. I've just been seeing a bunch of reverts.

I am using the gradle kotlin dsl - my tests are not being found when I run

gradle test

I am using JUnit 5. Is JUnit 5 supported? Any idea what I need to make it detect my tests?

Hm... I see that https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/issues/337 is closed but

api

dependencies {
    api(...)
}

is still not being resolved, strange because

implementation(...)

is and works.

hi, does kotlin support gradle build caching?

eskatos

11/22/2017, 8:44 AM

@Czar this should work Today, this issue is about adding the proper overloads to Gradle proper but

kotlin-dsl

includes extensions to work around the missing overloads upstream I just tried locally and it worked, what is not working exactly?

Hi, IntelliJ frequently stops recognising my build.gradle.kts file, showing every line as an error. What magic do I have to do to stop that from happening?

bamboo

I think one of these plugins is explicitly changing the

compile(kotlin("stdlib"))

dependency version to match what they find in the build environment (which is wrong)

I never had it green in any IDE that I have: Android Studio 3.0, Android Studio 3.1 Canary, IDEA ultimate stable 2017.2.6, IDEA community edition 2017.3 EAP

Hey everyone. Maybe someone could give a little help. What is the right way to use

DomainObjectCollection.withType

in Kotlin DSL? my example when writing a Plugin :

project.run {
    repositories.withType(MavenArtifactRepository::class.java) {
        // I want to access the typed repo
        dostuff( this)
    }
}

what Building gives me: Error:(22, 44) Kotlin: Type mismatch: inferred type is Project but MavenArtifactRepository was expected I tried

this@withType

but that just yields: ‘this’ is not defined in this context. Can anyone hint me how to do this?

Hi. I've tried to use the

org.hidetake.ssh

plugin and caught "Failed to compile accessors" after add it to

plugin {  }

section. Tried to google for it, found this issue: https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/issues/447, but not sure it is my case. Any ideas to work this around?

Hi. I know that is not actual kotlin question. I'm moving to project to Kotlin+gradle and have now instrumentation task with more than one classpass. How can I make this task in gradle?
