Hi folks, according to this doc , adding another kmp project to commonMain is enough to add the dependency. But somehow the classes from common modules are not accessible to native targets ( nativeMain, macosMain, appleMain etc) . I am using latest 1.9.20-Beta version with DefaultHierarchyTemplate . Tried all the usual stuffs (like clean, clear cache, restart etc). Any idea whats the issue here?

[suresh]

here is my build config

plugins {
  `kotlin-multiplatform`
}
kotlin {
  
  macosArm64 {
    binaries { executable(listOf(DEBUG, RELEASE)) { entryPoint = "main" } }
    compilations.configureEach {
      compilerOptions.configure { freeCompilerArgs.add("-Xallocator=custom") }
    }
  }
  applyDefaultHierarchyTemplate()

  sourceSets {
    commonMain {
      dependencies {
        api(projects.common)
      }
    }
  }
}

And i am trying to access those common module classes from nativeMain and that’s failing.

Did you declare the other targets sorceset ?

[suresh]

you mean some thing like ?

sourceSets {
    nativeMain {
    }
    // or macosMain etc
}

[suresh]

with this config, i was expecting the shared module classes (projects.common) should be available on in commonMain sourceset

[suresh]

this is working when i use jvm and js targets.. somehow not for native one.

Yeah sometimes you have to use dependsOn to link it. As quoted in the docs:

Some dependencies for source sets are set by default. You don't need to specify any dependsOn relations manually

[suresh]

correct.. the new applyDefaultHierarchyTemplate() should take care of that part - https://kotlinlang.org/docs/whatsnew-eap.html#create-your-project-easier

[suresh]

it’s not working even if i explicitly add dependsOn

[Cherrio LLC]

True just read the docs.

[Cherrio LLC]

Did you migrate or its a new project based on 1.9.20-beta?

[suresh]

it’s a new sample project based on 1.9.20-Beta

Try comment out this

applyDefaultHierarchyTemplate()

[Cherrio LLC]

According to the docs:

If you want to have additional source sets that the default hierarchy template doesn't provide, for example between JS and the JVM, adjust the hierarchy by reapplying the template explicitly with applyDefaultHierarchyTemplate() and configuring additional source sets manually as usual with dependsOn()

[suresh]

i think applyDefaultHierarchyTemplate() is enabled by default. Same issue when removing that config
