There seems to be a bug in refreshVersions... I had this problem https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C19FD9681/p1706016947883069 and when I removed the refreshVersions plugin, it was solved...

[louiscad]

But you're using 100% versions catalogs, correct?

[dave08]

Yes

[louiscad]

So your versions.properties file is empty, correct?

[dave08]

Actually, probably not... but I assumed that as soon as I switched the references in in build.gradle.kts to use Version Catalogs, it doesn't look there anymore?

[louiscad]

Plugins are a special case

[dave08]

I don't have any _ in my version catalog file...

[louiscad]

Because of limitations in the Gradle APIs

[louiscad]

Then, why are keeping stuff in versions.properties?

[dave08]

Well, I was in the middle of transition, I still needed to compare versions and make sure things are working... I didn't really expect that I needed to get rid of that file until I finished the migration.

[louiscad]

You can comment stuff

[louiscad]

version.kotlin will be used for KGP

[louiscad]

Same for AGP and plugin.android

[louiscad]

And other plugin.*

It might be nice to put a warning in the refreshVersionsMigation --mode VersonCatalogOnly in red or something that people should watch this... I guess I could do what you suggest now that I know, but I wasted a nice few hours until someone told me to try removing refreshVersions and I figured out that it was the culprit...

[louiscad]

Diving back into refreshVersions isn't my top priority at the moment since I don't make a salary out of it, and I'm actually starting a business before unemployment benefits run out, and I didn't implement the migration code myself, and I know it's not perfect, but fixing or redoing it would take me weeks, which I cannot give at the moment. If you want to fix the migration, I can give hours through a Google Meet or something to help you figure out the codebase and where to look to improve that.

[louiscad]

Sorry for the lengthy sentence, I hope it's still understandable 😅

[louiscad]

BTW, I'm sorry it cost you hours

[louiscad]

These kind of things are not cool, whatever the root cause(s) might be

[dave08]

Yeah, that's fine, thanks for your involvement up in this great project until now 😉! I thought just adding that little warning wouldn't take so much time... I wish you lots of luck in your new business 🚀😃!
