Hello , how to include non-public methods in the Dokka documentation for a multi-module project. I have the following configuration, but when I execute gradlew dokkaHTMLMultiModule, the private methods are not being included.
Here is the Dokka configuration in the build.gradle.kts file:

tasks.dokkaHtmlMultiModule.configure {
    outputDirectory.set(layout.buildDirectory.dir("DokkaMoltiModuleDoc"))
}
tasks.withType<org.jetbrains.dokka.gradle.DokkaTask>().configureEach {
    dokkaSourceSets {
        configureEach {
            includeNonPublic.set(true)
            skipEmptyPackages.set(true)
        }
    }
}

Hey
The configuration part is mostly correct, though:
1. you need to configure AbstractDokkaTask - because in multimodule there are some additional tasks created which extend AbstractDokkaTask and not DokkaTask
2. you need to add this configuration for subprojects and not to root project - multiModule task just aggregates results of running dokka in submodules
3. it's better to use documentedVisibilities instead of includeNonPublic
Regarding point two, you can do it in 2 ways:
1. explicitly add configuration tasks.withType<AbstractDokkaTask>().configureEach {...} in build scripts of submodules (via convention plugin for example - this is suggested way by Gradle)
2. in root project (near multiModule task) add subprojects { tasks.withType<AbstractDokkaTask>().configureEach {...} } to configure all submodules in one place

@Oleg Yukhnevich I had to set up DokkaTaskPartial in sub-module Gradle build file like this :

// App/build.gradle.kts 
import org.jetbrains.dokka.DokkaConfiguration.Visibility

...

tasks.withType<DokkaTaskPartial>().configureEach {
    outputDirectory.set(layout.buildDirectory.dir("Partial"))
    moduleName.set("Application")
    dokkaSourceSets.configureEach {
        documentedVisibilities.set(
            setOf(
                Visibility.PUBLIC,
                Visibility.PRIVATE,
                Visibility.PROTECTED,
            )
        )
        skipEmptyPackages.set(true)
        // other configurations...
    }
}

Yeah, DokkaTaskPartial is also fine
