Why o why am I getting circular dependency issues? See thread for details.

// <root>/settings.gradle.kts
pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        gradlePluginPortal()
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven("<https://maven.pkg.jetbrains.space/public/p/compose/dev>")
    }
}

include(
    ":libraries:ui", 
    ":features:canvas:compose:ui",
)

[Arjan van Wieringen]

// libraries/ui/build.gradle.kts
plugins {
    kotlin("multiplatform")
}

kotlin {
    js(IR) {
        browser()
    }

    jvm()

    sourceSets {
        val commonMain by getting {
            dependencies {
                implementation(libs.jetbrains.compose.ui.geometry)
                implementation(libs.jetbrains.coroutines.core)
            }
        }
    }
}

// features/canvas/compose/ui/build.gradle.kts
plugins {
    kotlin("multiplatform")
}

kotlin {
    js(IR) {
        browser()
    }

    jvm()

    sourceSets {
        val commonMain by getting {
            dependencies {
                implementation(project(":libraries:ui"))
            }
        }
    }
}

This will not build because of:

Circular dependency between the following tasks:
:features:canvas:compose:ui:jsPackageJson
\--- :features:canvas:compose:ui:jsPackageJson (*)

Gradle doesn’t like it when multiple subprojects have the same GAV coordinates. You have two subprojects named ui.

Either rename the subprojects, or try setting the group to be distinct in each subproject

Ah… that makes sense. Wow. Too bad the error reporting is so unclear in this case.

Thanks!

yeah, I don’t mind the restriction, but a helpful warning message is really needed
