ohh

Hi, folks. More great news for today! 🙂

0.0.44

version of

kotlin-frontend-plugin

with new multiplatform support is just released. See an example here: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-frontend-plugin/tree/master/examples/new-mpp

That is being called from the main thread, from a UI object with what I think is an appropriately set up coroutines context. It works doing other suspend calls. Thoughts? I feel like I'm missing a flag somewhere.

Calling is printed, followed by the exception

Is it possible to mix metadata dependencies through common sourceset and direct dependencies on platforms in one module?

asked in #kotlin-native, but maybe this is a better place… I’m trying to aggregate a bunch of modules together and package them as an iOS framework. What’s the best way to do that w/ gradle?

idea being to have a single repo with a bunch of modules, and package various subsets into frameworks for different apps to consume

not without checking the

build.gradle

files I'm afraid 😞

Does anybody else feel that iOS/Android Multiplatform projects are rather cumbersome if you want to have Android APIs in the Android part of the shared code? The current example at https://kotlinlang.org/docs/tutorials/native/mpp-ios-android.html uses jvm as preset and not android. So implementing expected declarations with android APIs (i.e. typealiasing them) is not possible. If one uses the android preset (instead of jvm) it seems like you need to apply the com.android.library plugin, place all the dependencies in a separate dependencies{} block and do all the things the android library plugin expects. Is there a way to not jump through all these loops?

depends on where you want to push it

If my IDE gives this error in "Cannot access class

java.lang.String

. Check your module classpath for missing or conflicting dependencies", what should I change? What should my module SDK be; Kotlin SDK or Java SDK?

Hi all

actually there is no bin folder there

I tried it on Mac

I'm using the multiplatform template Kotlin(JS Client/JVM Server) and I am not able to access to the resource files in the JVM platform. I've tried with 1.3.11 and 1.3.20-eap-25 with InteliJ CE 2018.3.1

Is it possible to enable autocomplete/doc support for ignored targets? I've had great success using Wine to build/test the Windows part under both Linux and macOS, but I still have to develop under Windows due to the lack of support for import/autocomplete/documentation...

Take a look into the ktor library. One of its goals is to provide multiplatform implementations of HTTP client code

It’s still early and a bit rough around the edges, but it’s the best so far: https://ktor.io/clients/http-client/multiplatform.html

and #ktor

It’s not showing up on the Swift side. I wonder what’s up with this.

I’ve been trying to migrate Okio to the new multiplatform Gradle plugin for a while now and taking another pass during the holidays - would highly appreciate contributions! https://github.com/square/okio/pull/544

so far it’s been very frustrating, I’ve been fighting the plugin DSL to migrate all our setup for the JVM module and haven’t gotten too far

this fails with

Could not find method baseline() for arguments [com.squareup.okio:okio:1.14.1

looking into the plugin sources, seems like the configurations are hardcoded: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/67e82a54e5ee529116e881953f93a4c8f216e33a/libraries/tools/kotlin-gradle-plugin-api/src/main/kotlin/org/jetbrains/kotlin/gradle/plugin/HasKotlinDependencies.kt

Anyone how I should implement BigInteger.ZERO? I tried lateinit, init-block, in companion object, as extension. None seems to work well 😞

expect class BigInteger(value: String) : /*Number,*/ Comparable<BigInteger> {
   // ...
    companion object {
        val ZERO: BigInteger = BigInteger("0")
    }
}

This is what I have now, but gives me an error on

BigInteger

Expected property cannot have an initializer

, also I cannot use

by lazy

Use a top level property?

Yes, that would work, but I want it in the

BigInteger

-class, as I have the same variable for

BigDecimal

. I tried this (toplevel):

val BigInteger.ZERO: BigInteger = BigInteger("0")

but that gives me an error also

Then finally I made it a getter, it gives no error, but it didnt seem to work in my Kotlin code either using

BigInteger.zero

... or is this another error then?
