@Nikky I'd like to follow up on this problem with IntelliJ not seeing the dependencies. If you still have this code around, could you paste it in the thread so that I can try reproducing? In general, depending on these server-side bindings works for me, so I'm wondering maybe you're using an older version of IntelliJ? If we don't manage to figure out what the cause is, let's report to JB

[Piotr Krzemiński]

another idea for a root cause: since there are 11 action dependencies, you might get unlucky and none/little were cached on the server, making Kotlin script wait for building the JARs on the fly. Then, some timeout might happen. Maybe try removing some deps and see if it works?

[Piotr Krzemiński]

looking at IDE logs also can give some clues

[Piotr Krzemiński]

there's 2024.1 already, let me update and check there

[Piotr Krzemiński]

works there as well

[Nikky]

IntelliJ IDEA 2023.3.3 (Community Edition)

might try updating


the fact that it also shows the warning "file not found" for this line though @file:DependsOn("io.github.typesafegithub:github-workflows-kt:1.14.0")
makes me think there is something more fundamentally different in the setup that makes it break or work

[Piotr Krzemiński]

maybe try on your colleague's machine

[Nikky]

same problems there

[Piotr Krzemiński]

try checking the IDE logs when it happens: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C02UUATR7RC/p1712915378555799?thread_ts=1712915246.204319&amp;cid=C02UUATR7RC

[Nikky]

i have those open.. and all i can see is it failing to find a appleboy/ssh-action .. but thats not even in the dependencies anymore

[Piotr Krzemiński]

do these log lines have current timestamps? does the IDE keep looking for this action?

[Nikky]

so either its caching agressively and not logging when its loading that .. or the IDE thinks everything is fine

[Piotr Krzemiński]

could you try run such script from the console? at least there I know where the Kotlin compiler caches compiler scripts

[Nikky]

certainly seems like its the correct logfile, last lines look like so..

2024-04-12 15:01:06,768 [ 614276]   INFO - #c.i.o.v.n.p.FSRecords - 1401102 file records checked: 1137339 children, 17443 contents

[Piotr Krzemiński]

so the next thing I'd check is if the Kotlin compiler alone also displays this behavior

[Nikky]

well.. the compiler works.. idea also has it all figured out.. once i make it refresh the file.. or auto reload is enabled then highlighting and autocompletion just works..
the annoying part is just.. not knowing which dependencies work because they are all marked as errors

[Piotr Krzemiński]

what is exactly marked as errors? actually using the class? can you share a screenshot?

[Nikky]

updating idea right now... wanna bet this just randomly works now ?

[Nikky]

yep... somehow now its behaving... maybe it was the restart.. maybe something else... there was a screenshot of this in the othe thread...

[Nikky]

[Piotr Krzemiński]

I'm lovin it

[Nikky]

all these had the popup of file not found on it

[Nikky]

which is sensible.. as these are evidently filenames.. yes

[Piotr Krzemiński]

ok, let's see if it reoccurs 😄 can you consider adopting the new approach in just one non-critical script? worst case you can revert right?

[Piotr Krzemiński]

I'll keep an eye on this problem myself in my scripts, so far it didn't happen 🤷

[Nikky]

i have adopted this in one script already.. not sure if i will commit this yet... probably on monday

[Nikky]

will see if we can maybe help out with making refreshVersions a standalone thing and make it able to parse and edit .kts files... how hard could it be... right ?... i wish i had 96 hours i na day.. minimum

[Piotr Krzemiński]

in theory yes, as long as you parse the .kts into an AST/PSI, you should be able to do what you need

[Piotr Krzemiński]

I'll try to create a custom inspection via IntelliJ plugin that will check for updates for Maven dependencies in Kotlin scripts, but not sure when it will land

[Nikky]

tbh for what we need we just need to match for @DependsOn(".*:.*:.*")
and add commented out copies of that underneat with newer versions

[Piotr Krzemiński]

regex ftw

[Piotr Krzemiński]

mind that @DependsOn(...) can specify more than one dependency, but the simplification to just one dependency would be a fair one for the beginning

[Nikky]

or even just line by line chekcing using startsWith

[Nikky]

hmmm.. gotta see if i can make this a multiline thing

[Nikky]

yeah.. this is actually even better

[Piotr Krzemiński]

FWIW, in Renovate I did it the same way (regex): https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/blob/17cf8b6a597d96017fe51bf0312cf51caf6f78b5/lib/modules/manager/kotlin-script/extract.ts#L7 although it now works with just a single dependency per a single @file:DependsOn
