Hey guys, I just tried out the “K2 Kotlin Mode” in Koala Beta 2 but it’s stuck at “Analyzing…” for every Kotlin file and there is no syntax highlighting. AGP is at version 8.5.0-beta02. Anyone else with the same problem?

[Carl Benson]

yes, but it worked better after a second restart. but it is alpha after all and not all features are available

[kevindmoore]

I tried Koala and it did the same thing to me. Gave up on it

What about K FD C3?

[kevindmoore]

Trying to update C2. Soooo slowww

[kevindmoore]

Doesn’t seem to know about a new version. Basically unusable

[Colton Idle]

?

[Colton Idle]

You don't have Koala Feature Drop C3?

[kevindmoore]

Koala Feature Drop 2024.1.2 Canary 2. App freezes and I can’t update

[Colton Idle]

You don't use toolbox?

[kevindmoore]

Ok. I guess I could do that. I usually update AS in AS. I think straight AS users don’t usually have toolbox unless they have Intellij

[kevindmoore]

Looks much better

[Colton Idle]

nice. id didn't know you could update from inside of studio if you used toolbox

[Colton Idle]

😂

[Colton Idle]

guess the both of us learned something new. cheers buddy

[kevindmoore]

I still think that AS can be a pile of… at times.

[kevindmoore]

I’m on Jellyfish now. Seems to be working pretty well

[Colton Idle]

typically right after a rebase onto newest IJ, things are a little shakey. but as someone that deals with xcode... at least its not xcode. lmao

[kevindmoore]

I wouldn’t be able to handle xcode. talk about the dark ages…

[svenjacobs]

I tried Canary 3 and there the analyzing step works but then I get this error in my code

@Composable invocations can only happen from the context of a @Composable function

so K2 mode is basically not working for me right now with Compose.
