Hi, I have a KVision project I'm trying to create a jar for, but the shadowJar task isn't being included.
When I look at one of the demo projects for ktor (addressbook-fullstack-ktor) and print the taskinfo tree I see:

:jar                                                                                                  (org.gradle.api.tasks.bundling.Jar)
+--- :classes                                                                                         (org.gradle.api.DefaultTask)
| ... removed for clarity
+--- :compileJava                                                                                     (org.gradle.api.tasks.compile.JavaCompile)
`--- :shadowJar                                                                                       (org.gradle.api.tasks.bundling.Jar)
     +--- :jsArchive                                                                                  (org.gradle.api.tasks.bundling.Jar)
     |    `--- :jsBrowserDistribution                                                                 (org.gradle.api.tasks.Copy)
... etc

but with my own project, the shadowJar task is not listed, and thus my "jar" task isn't creating a fat jar file.

Where is the shadowJar being pulled in from? I can't see it directly added to the example project, but it's there.

You need KVision Gradle plugin

[Mark Fisher]

I have it, it's just not providing the shadowJar task:

In the demo app, using the same version of the plugin does provide it

This second image is addressbook

[Robert Jaros]

The plugin detects if the project is fullstack application by checking the existence of src/jsMain and src/jvmMain directories

[Robert Jaros]

Do you have these source sets?

[Mark Fisher]

yes

[Robert Jaros]

Next it checks if the project uses one of kvision-server-* dependencies

[Robert Jaros]

It generates tasks compatible with different servers

[Mark Fisher]

I have:

commonMain {
            dependencies {
                implementation(libs.kvision.server.ktor)
            }
        }

which is in libs.versions.toml:

kvision-server-ktor = { module = "io.kvision:kvision-server-ktor", version.ref = "kvision-version" }

[Mark Fisher]

aha!

[Mark Fisher]

I was using "implementation", but the demo uses "api"

[Mark Fisher]

That's added the shadowJar task

[Robert Jaros]

Yep, it checks commonMainApi dependencies

[Mark Fisher]

ok, my bad. simple oversight, I'm so used to adding implementations, I missed it was an api type

[Mark Fisher]

Thanks for your help!
