Is it a known issue that 
ReplaceWith
deprecated substitutions are not working in 
build.gradle.kts
? Trying to migrate to Gradle 8.3 that deprecates 
project.buildDir
, I can't get the quick fix to work
j
you mean Gradle 8.3?
🎯 1
Didn’t know 
buildDir
was going to be deprecated
m
Uhuhu yea sorry 😅 Don't want to look at Gradle 3 🙈
Maybe it's just the Kotlin helper
v
🥴
😄 1
m
Ah nope, it's also deprecated in 
Project
v
Is 
ReplaceWith
a thing in Java?
m
I don't think so
But it is in Kotlin!
Tangential but I believe the non-working for me 
ReplaceWith
is also slightly unexact, filed this
v
Probably, yes, I prefer to read`layout.buildDirectory.get().asFile` though. :-D
😃 1
j
I have found very hard to deal with directory and file properties APIs, I would like that Provider<File> to be a reality
m
Same, I usually 
asFile
my way until I get something that compiles 😅
I guess 
Path
is the new 
File
though 🤷
v
You can use 
Provider<File>
it is just not as expressive, as it is unclear whether it is a file or directory.
👍 1
Same for 
Path
, but yeah, 
Path
is preferable over 
File
in most cases too
j
I have got crashes with that some times, and the crash indicates I should use FilePropery or whatever
v
But regarding the replacewith, even in a 
.kt
file I do not get the a quick-fix to replace

m
Mmm that's weird...

Maybe it is because the definition of the method is in the Java interface
m
Same here actually
Maybe it is because the definition of the method is in the Java interface
Ah yes, in a plain .kt file, it uses the 
Project.java
API directly
v
Also, the whole 
ProjectDelegate
is also declared deprecated o_O
😮 1
Ah yes, in a plain .kt file, it uses the 
Project.java
API directly
That's why I casted 
target
to 
ProjectDelegate
, so it does not use 
Project
👍 1
If I navigate to 
buildDir
I land in 
ProjectDelegate
👍 1
m
Gotcha, didn't see this
Oh well..
Removing 
ProjectDelegate
seems reasonable to me. Putting it back in scope is a simple 
project.apply {}
and it makes everything more explicit (and avoids accidentally resolving 
name
to the wrong receiver)
Usages of 
ProjectDelegate
do not show any warning though...
Since it's all implicit I guess?
v
Probably
Ah, in 
ProjectDelegate
you have 
fun getBuildDir()
. So if you do 
getBuildDir()
, you get the replacement quick-fix also in kts file
👀 1
m
Copy code
'Build_gradle' is deprecated. Will be removed in Gradle 9.0
It's all going away 😄
v
If you have 
fun getBuildDir()
in a Kotlin file, you cannot use 
buildDir
naturally
You need a property in Kotlin
The getter-magic only works with Java interop
I wonder that navigation goes to 
ProjectDelegate
method actually now
I guess this might be a bug in KTIJ actually, that it does not show the replacement quick-fix from the overridden 
getBuildDir()
At least worth a try to report it as bug
m
Using 
getBuildDir()
gets me a step closer fails for me in that specific case because it replaces with 
this.layout.buildDirectory.get()
but 
this
is not the 
ProjectDelegate
v
Yeah, that seems to be another bug in the quick-fix implementation
m
The getter-magic only works with Java interop
Not sure I follow, how come I can write this in Kotlin if there is no Java involved 🤔
Copy code
// calls ProjectDelegate.getBuildDir() under the hood
buildDir
v
Java is involved
ProjectDelegate
implements 
Project
m
Ahhhh gotcha
v
So the 
getBuildDir
is defined by Java and thus can be used with 
buildDir
👍 1
Are you going to report these two bugs to KTIJ? 🙂
m
I have one: • does not show the replacement quick-fix from the overridden 
getBuildDir()
Not sure about the second
v
The second is the one about the wrong receiver (using 
this.
when it shouldn't while replacing)
m
Ah yes!
I'll open those 👍
👌 1
Second one, I can't get even simple replacement to work blob thinking fast .

It's just removing everything sad panda . What do I miss?
Copy code
@Deprecated("Deprecated", ReplaceWith("helloo"))
fun hello() {
    println("hello")
}

fun helloo() {
    println("helloo")
}

fun main() {
    hello()
}
v
A 3rd bug I'd say. If you do 
ReplaceWith("helloo()")
it works
