Hi , i am trying to create a new source set, but its not creating directory for me for that source set.
In shared build.gradle file, i am using following way to create new source set in sourceSets block:

```val nonMobileMain by creating {
     dependsOn(commonMain)
}```
is there anything that i m missing? i was following this link: <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/multiplatform-dsl-reference.html#custom-source-sets>

You'll have to create the directory yourself. `val nonMobileMain by creating` only makes Gradle aware of it but does not actually create the directory

Hi One question here, if i want to write some common code for desktop and web platforms, can i write that in new common sourceSet  nonMobileMain and then include that source set in both , and then using that code.?

Yes, that <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/multiplatform-share-on-platforms.html|should work>

I have created one new source set
```val webDesktopCommonMain by creating {
    dependsOn(commonMain)
}```
so it should include all dependencies of commonMain, right?, But it not able to resolve files and dependencies of commonMain

You need to connect your `webDesktopCommonMain` source set to the "leaves" source sets. Something like this:

```        val commonMain by getting

        val webDesktopCommonMain by creating {
            dependsOn(commonMain)
        }

        val jsMain by getting {
            dependsOn(webDesktopCommonMain)
        }

        val jvmMain by getting {
            dependsOn(webDesktopCommonMain)
        }
    ```

(assuming web is a "js" target and desktop is a "web" target, which it should be?)

But more generally, it's pretty rare that web + desktop common code is not also common to all other platforms. Have you tried putting all your code in `commonMain` ?

Actually for desktop and web i need scrollbar support, so as we know that will not be available in commonMain and only in desktopMain and jsMain modules , So i dont want to repeat some Composables related to scrollbar. So i am using common UI from commonMain and scrolling related  main root Composables in webDesktopCommonMain, so that they will not be repeated
