kotlinlang #random

when it is being added from a kotlin class, but it does recognise it when it comes from a java class... I tried to reproduce it in another project... but I failed 😞 The compilation works just fine and I did try to invalidate caches, restarting the computer and praying... but the red line is still there... Any ideas of what I could do?

Hi all, does Android Studio (Android Studio Chipmunk | 2021.2.1 Patch 1) also automatically start syncing while editing *.gradle.kts files for anyone? The setting

Reload project after changes in the build scripts

is unchecked. It is rather annoying...

TIL that Kotlin has

do { } while ()

loops

hey folks, can someone point me to where I can get help for the intellij idea new UI? (i understand this is not the slack for it, but i hope it's ok to ask in random) I had tried it back when 2022.2 was EAP. I had since uninstalled the plugin. However, just right now, my IDEA updated from 2022.1 to 2022.2, and now I'm forced into the new UI again -- and seemingly no way to opt out of it 🙂

Question regarding JetBrains Academy. I decided to check it out to see how it works, and when clicking the "Solve in IDE", it generates a project that Gradle doesn't like. I see this error:

Could not set unknown property 'destinationDir' for task '...' of type org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile

Is this a known problem and (if so) what is the correct work around to ensure integration still works?

Hi, what is this popup called? Can I configure it to display successful build as well? Currently it only shows fails (This is in AppCode)

I prefer kotlin but also I don't think the given example could be much better than it is in python.

I'm going to use Kotlin in a new Intro Programming course with 100+ students this fall at Mills College in Northeastern. Any suggestions of fun libraries that are well-maintained and well-documented to use in assignments? One I'm looking at is #tornadofx. I think Android development would be too ambitious.

Does anyone feel that naming .klib as .kar and giving it a crow logo was a missed opportunity? Or is it just me?

Anyone use proguard or r8? According to https://firebase.google.com/docs/crashlytics/get-deobfuscated-reports?platform=android I have to add this for crashlytics to work. But if I "keep file names" doesn't that mean that obfuscastion isn't performed?

-keepattributes SourceFile,LineNumberTable        # Keep file names and line numbers.
-keep public class * extends java.lang.Exception  # Optional: Keep custom exceptions.

When in Android Studio at function declaration, if I start typing name

us

as in user, then it gives me suggestion for

user: User

which is exactly what I want and it is great I do the same in AppCode, and no luck any idea if this is a setting or a feature or something?

I’m scheduling our visit to the Kotlin Konf. How was the schedule the last time? I can only find the talks: https://kotlinconf.com/2019/talks/ But not the general schedule. When do sessions start and end? Is there some kind of after-konf-party usually?

Has anyone configured a Windows Terminal profile for

ki

yet? I think it might be a cool way to have a more-powerful Kotlin playground and be able to experiment with it directly from Windows Terminal

i’m writing some rule for my simulation (some “law of nature”), most of them were suggested or autocompleted by github copilot. some of them are weird or useless but overall i’m still amazing by it. eg (copilot suggestion between []) :

// collision between creatures [are resolved by a fight]
// if creature that are fighting [are of the same species, they reproduce]
