What would be the right way to generate an UUID in kotlin?

after updating my project to Kotlin 1.8.0 I'm getting the following build error:

Execution failed for task ':app:kaptGenerateStubsDebugKotlin'.
> 'compileDebugJavaWithJavac' task (current target is 1.8) and 'kaptGenerateStubsDebugKotlin' task (current target is 17) jvm target compatibility should be set to the same Java version.
  Consider using JVM toolchain: <https://kotl.in/gradle/jvm/toolchain>

but my Gradle config is:

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
kotlinOptions {
    jvmTarget = "1.8"
}

so I'm not sure where target 17 is setup, has somebody experienced the same error?

Anyone know how to solve

Cannot use @TaskAction annotation on method AbstractKotlinCompile.execute() because interface org.gradle.api.tasks.incremental.IncrementalTaskInputs is not a valid parameter to an action method.

when upgrading from an older AGP version to 8.0.2?

I am trying to use a preview JDK in my Kotlin compiler config, but I am getting a strange error. Has anyone seen this before:

val JDK_21_PATH = "/home/user/.sdkman/candidates/java/21.ea.6-open"

tasks.withType<org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.UsesKotlinJavaToolchain>().configureEach {
    kotlinJavaToolchain.jdk.use(JDK_21_PATH, JavaVersion.VERSION_21)
}

Execution failed for task ':app:compileKotlin'.
> Error while evaluating property 'compilerOptions.jvmTarget' of task ':app:compileKotlin'.
   > Failed to calculate the value of property 'jvmTarget'.
      > Unknown Kotlin JVM target: 21

Hey I am experiencing a serious issue - it looks like mocking answer for a parametrised suspended method does not work as expected:

class ExampleUnitTest {
    private val repository = mockk<AlbumRepository>()

    private val cut = GetAlbumUseCase(repository)

    @Test
    fun `when execute return success`() {
        // given
        val albumName = "Thriller"
        val artistName = "Michael Jackson"
        val mbId = "123"

        // when
        val actual = runBlocking { cut.execute(albumName, artistName, mbId) }

        // then

    }
}

no answer found for: AlbumRepository(#1).getAlbumInfo(Thriller, Michael Jackson, 123, continuation {})
io.mockk.MockKException: no answer found for: AlbumRepository(#1).getAlbumInfo(Thriller, Michael Jackson, 123, continuation {})
	at app//io.mockk.impl.stub.MockKStub.defaultAnswer(MockKStub.kt:93)

The answer can't be found (most likely due to

continuation {}

param). I have crafted a sample project to reproduce this. Steps: 1. Open project using

Android Studio

2. Run

ExampleUnitTest

tests Can someone take a look? Is there any workaround?

I'm updating my multi-module multiplatform (android/ios/jvm) project from Kotlin 1.7.22 / Gradle 7.5.1 to Kotlin 1.8.10 / Gradle 8.0 and have this issue:

Module was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.8.0, expected version is 1.6.0.

Anyone encountered this? It's a lint task so it still builds, but it looks weird. (see logs in thread)

I’m getting

No tests found for given includes

when trying to run a single kotest test inside a gradle project--I assume this must be something dumb I’m missing but after googling around a bit I still haven’t seen anything that addresses it. I do have

tasks.withType<Test>().configureEach {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

in build.gradle.kts
