Hi. Is it possible to deploy Kotlin/Wasm anywhere yet?

[Big Chungus]

Only to chrome and even then you need to sign up for wasm gc origin trials. All other deployment targets need custom flags enabled on consumer end

[Adrian Witaszak]

I do run it in Chrome already with the GC flag enabled, and works great, but i wondered it i can deploy it somewhere for example GCP?

[Big Chungus]

Sure, it's just a bundle of static files like any other web app afterall.

[Adrian Witaszak]

is the approach the same like deploying Kotlin/js app?

[Big Chungus]

My point is that any consumer if your app will need flags enabled.

[Big Chungus]

Approach is exactly the same like deploying any static web app

[Big Chungus]

You can deploy it to gh pages if you want an easy and free option

[Adrian Witaszak]

Really? Will the wasm still work?

[Big Chungus]

Sure, hosting solution has nothing to do with js nor wasm. All you need is just something to serve a bunch of static files to the browser

[Big Chungus]

Gh pages is one of such "somethings"

do i point it to build/dist/wasm/productionExecutable ? After running wasmBrowserProductionWebpack

You can use netlify as well, just drag and drop that folder containing your executable files and it will work

[Adrian Witaszak]

hmmm if i open index.html in the productionExecutable it only opens index, but wasm is not running. The console complains about missing:
• wasmapp.uninstantiated.mjs
• favicon.ico
The favico itself does not exist at all in the project so had to get it from different repo. The wasmapp.uninstantiated.mjs is located in

$buildDir/compileSync/wasm/main/productionExecutable/kotlin/wasmapp.uninstantiated.mjs

So had to create tasks to copy them into the same dir after wasmBrowserProductionWebpack is finished. May be using wasm with GH Pages for now so copying it all in the rootDir/docs . This time app runs when i launch it from the index.html locally 👏 Will try deployment next. 🤞

[Adrian Witaszak]

It looks like the wasmBrowserProductionWebpack task could do with improving so it copies all needed files into one dir.

@Big Chungus Thanks for pushing me in the right direction.

[Big Chungus]

Happy to help

GH Pages works like a dream 😉
