# multiplatform

I want to use Yaml in my multiplaform project. I found a package and added it to my project, and the code runs but the syntax highlighting says it's broken. I assume this means it's not compatible with multiplatform.

How can I find a YAML package which is compatible with multiplatform, or fix this one so it works?

find a lib that targets your targets
https://klibs.io/?query=yaml

[Chris B]

Okay, but it looks like it does target my targets.

[Chrimaeon]

then your setup is wrong

[Chris B]

I added the implementation to the commonMain dependencies. Did I need to do more than that?

[Chrimaeon]

no, that should be fine.
1. did you do a gradle sync?
2. did you try to compile to rule put IDE glitch?

[Chris B]

I've done multiple gradle syncs. I've only been running the code, which I sort of assumed meant it would compile in the background. Is there a separate step that does something different?

[Chrimaeon]

only been running the code

running how? and does it run?

[Chris B]

Shift-F10 in Android Studio?

[Chris B]

It launches the app, loads the YAML, parses the data, and displays it to the screen.

[Chris B]

The library is fully working as expected, but the IDE tells me the code doesn't compile. Except the code does compile.

[Chrimaeon]

then its just a AS glitch not getting the classpath correct. just do the usual “switch off and on againg”, clear gradle caches, also I think AS has something like “Repair IDE” or “invalidated caches”

[Chris B]

Ah, that seemed to fix it. Super annoying.

[Chris B]

Thanks for the help.

Now to figure out why I can't get tests working ...
