Hi! I'm trying to add jvm("desktop") target to my Compose Multiplatform app. I use KoinApplication in my main.kt for desktop, but when I try to run it I get this exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/koin/core/error/KoinAppAlreadyStartedException
	at com.husqvarna.slc.ComposableSingletons$MainKt$lambda-2$1.invoke(main.kt:19)
	at com.husqvarna.slc.ComposableSingletons$MainKt$lambda-2$1.invoke(main.kt:18)

I haven't been able to find any solutions online. Any suggestions?

This is my main function for desktop:

fun main() {
    application(exitProcessOnExit = true) {
        KoinApplication({
            modules(<all my modules>)
        }) {

            Window(
                onCloseRequest = ::exitApplication,
                title = "My App",
            ) {
                App()
            }
        }
    }
}

Hey Erik, seems that you trigger KoinAppAlreadyStartedException even if you don't have it in your classpath 🤔
What version do you use?

[hellman]

4.1.0-Beta5

[arnaud.giuliani]

do you run startKoin before or you use only KoinApplication?

[hellman]

No

[hellman]

I can get it to work by calling startKoin instead of using the above.

[arnaud.giuliani]

ok, I'll check what's going on with this KoinApplication starter function

[arnaud.giuliani]

From KoinApplication you shouldn't call any startKoin before. It's starting the default context on its own

[hellman]

I know. That's what I looked at first. When I tried KoinApplication we weren't calling startKoin anywhere
