I set up a compose-multiplatform project in IntelliJ using its built-in template, and there's something wrong with the Gradle project it produces, or perhaps IntelliJ's integration: The source and test directories aren't marked as source and test, so I don't get Kotlin highlighting, completion, etc. I can manually mark them, but any Gradle reload undoes it. Interestingly, the resource directories are properly marked! Any tips?

[Tim McCormack]

I'm not too familiar with Gradle, unfortunately. If anyone would like to take a look, here's the repo, with essentially no modification after its initial templating: https://sandstorm.appux.com/shared/Ht7Wf-apel4_RH9SIg89fCJOjatSQb-AHLRSBUIP-xl/timmc/comp1337

It works fine with IntelliJ IDEA 2022.3.2 + Kotlin 1.8.20-dev-1103 IDEA plugin.

Maybe you have outdated Kotlin plugin? Check its version.

[Tim McCormack]

Hmm... I'm on IntelliJ IDEA 2023.1 (CE) and my Kotlin plugin is apparently "231-1.8.20-IJ8109.175" whatever that means.

[Tim McCormack]

Perhaps there was a regression in the newer version.

[Tim McCormack]

(The bundled Gradle plugin is at 231.8109.175. I guess the "231" probably refers to 2023.1)

Here's what my sourceSets looks like -- just what the IntelliJ New Project template spits out.

kotlin {
    jvm {
        jvmToolchain(11)
        withJava()
    }
    sourceSets {
        val jvmMain by getting {
            dependencies {
                implementation(compose.desktop.currentOs)
            }
        }
        val jvmTest by getting
    }
}

Full actual code here: https://sandstorm.appux.com/shared/Ht7Wf-apel4_RH9SIg89fCJOjatSQb-AHLRSBUIP-xl/timmc/comp1337/src/0d9388b76122a9f6c4ee0de878b14de5b641f7b0/build.gradle.kts -- the project works, but I have to manually mark those src and test dirs every time I start IntelliJ.

Can you please create minimal reproducible sample on GitHub?
I will check your project with IDEA 2023.1

Also you may try to do this:
In IntelliJ IDEA main menu:
• File -> Invalidate Caches... -> Invalidate and Restart
• Set all checkboxes
• button "Invalidate and Restart"

[Dima Avdeev]

Checked, it works fine:

[Tim McCormack]

Hmm! I deleted the .idea directory, did the invalidate & restart with all three checkboxes, re-opened the project... and no luck. Same "About" screen details as yours, except I'm on amd64.

[Tim McCormack]

But those template links you gave in the other thread were really helpful, thank you! Using the "desktop" version, I was able to fix the config so that IntelliJ loads it properly: https://sandstorm.appux.com/shared/Ht7Wf-apel4_RH9SIg89fCJOjatSQb-AHLRSBUIP-xl/timmc/comp1337/commit/3d886b9bfe799f3f0223e600f598479aa2c72fe0

[Tim McCormack]

It seems that IntelliJ's templating for the desktop version is making a multiplatform project instead, which is probably related somehow. (Even though I don't know why you're seeing a different result.)

[Tim McCormack]

(I do have to manually configure the JDK now, but I guess that's a tradeoff I'll take?)
