I'm working on an HTML & XML parsing library called Ksoup, which depends on the IO library Korlibs. I'm also developing another variant of the library that relies on kotlinx-io. Since Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) doesn't natively support variants, I'm attempting to create two variants of the library by organizing the code into separate modules.
Here's the approach I'm using:
1. ksoup-core-placeholder: Contains simple code that acts as a placeholder for the IO-related logic.
2. ksoup-core: Includes ksoup-core-placeholder as a compileOnly dependency.
3. ksoup-korio: Includes ksoup-core and the actual implementation for the IO logic, which is in korio-io.
This setup works fine on JVM. However, for JS and iOS, I'm encountering the following error: KLIB resolver: Could not find "ksoup:ksoup-core-placeholder"

If I remove the compileOnly , the library works fine on JVM and Native but not on JS, where it always uses the placeholder code instead of the actual implementation from korio-io.

Code is in develop branch.

@Sabeeh I reproduced the problem with ../ksoup-core-placeholder: compile-only . But I have the same error without compile-only . What do I need to change in your code?

@Ivan Kubyshkin i think you are trying that in single project there is issue with amper or gradle cache when i change deps it don't affect until i will remove .idea, .kotlin and .gradle folder and then try it again. This is also another big issue.

You can test like following

git clone <https://github.com/fleeksoft/ksoup.git> ksoup
cd ksoup
git checkout develop
./gradlew jsTest

this will fail with error: e: KLIB resolver: Could not find "ksoup1:ksoup-core-placeholder"

but again

git clone <https://github.com/fleeksoft/ksoup.git> ksoup2
cd ksoup2
git checkout develop

// edit ksoup-core/module.yaml and remove compile-only

./gradlew jsTest

this time build work fine but only tests will fail

@Ivan Kubyshkin this issue is related to KMP and reproduced with gradle project. I opened issue here https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-70727
