When using `org.jetbrains.kotlin.multiplatform` , ...

When using org.jetbrains.kotlin.multiplatform , can I add variants to the "main" publication? In JVM world, I can do this:

val outgoingConfiguration = configurations.consumable("myOutgoingConfiguration") {
  attributes {
    attribute(Usage.USAGE_ATTRIBUTE, objects.named<Usage>("myUsage"))
  }
}.get()

artifacts {
  add(outgoingConfiguration.name, myArtifact)
}

// How do I do this in KMP?
(components.get("java") as AdhocComponentWithVariants).addVariantsFromConfiguration(outgoingConfiguration) {}

Is there a KMP equivalent?

please upvote this.

And could you please provide your usecase?

I might add some simple API under "experimental opt-in" (so no backward compatible guarantees) to add extra variants to outgouing publications.

Upvoted!

Use case to publish GraphQL metadata alongside the bytecode. We're now using a separate publication but it breaks on transitive usages, see this slack thread

I'll try to reach you back with more updates on this.

Thanks!

Well, yes you can

Shame on us that you had to write this code

[mbonnin]

Thanks @CLOVIS 🙏

Somewhat related question, can I get the rootSoftwareComponent without reflection?

[mbonnin]

For targets, I can do kotlin.targets.getByName("jvm").components but the root component doesn't have a target or does it?

[Anton Lakotka [JB]]

I'm not sure, but you can try asking MetadataTarget. But perhaps it is not there either. Idon't remember from top of my head

[mbonnin]

The "metadata" target has an empty list of components

[mbonnin]

I can do a bit more reflection, this is fine at this point 🙂 . If you end up adding APIs, would be cool to add the root component as well (if not there already)

I also vote for this feature request. In my case, I want to publish a multiplatform WASM binary in the root (common) target so that it is accessible from all other targets. Currently, for the common target, the best solution I have found is to create my own rootSoftwareComponent, add my artifact to it, and copy the root KotlinMultiplatform publication with this component: https://github.com/illarionov/wasm-sqlite-driver-binary/blob/85e9d8729b550ec7fc57360841ce61b7aedcebfd/build-logic/project/multiplatform/src/main/kotlin/wasm-resources.gradle.kts#L55

[mbonnin]

Damn, the root component is different. It's a KotlinSoftwareComponentWithCoordinatesAndPublication , not a KotlinTargetSoftwareComponent , no adhocComponent ther
