Hi Community, I've a small doubt regarding Gradle dependencies. Please have look at it 🙂
If I created a module say testing and add some dependencies in the commonMain source set:

commonMain.dependencies {
            @OptIn(ExperimentalComposeLibrary::class)
            api(compose.uiTest)
        }
        desktopMain.dependencies {
            api(compose.desktop.currentOs)
        }

And implements this module into another module, i.e., home module in the commonTest source set:

commonTest.dependencies {
            implementation(projects.uiTesting)
        }

Will the dependencies added in the commonMain inside testing module included into the build-artifact/APK?

commonTest is usually not part of your final binary

[Rohit Verma]

That's what I thought but I also have commonMain source-set for testing module. I just wanted to clarify if that will be added or not in the final artifact.

I tried inspect the APK but was failed.

Assuming home is your "main thing".
Everything in home:commonMain is productive code,
everything in home:commonTest is test code.
Whatever home:commonTest depends on is test code from the PoV of the home project.

[Rohit Verma]

Yeah, make sense. Test code doesn't included in the final artifact. Thanks for your help @Vampire

Hi @Vampire
I also tried adding test dependencies like this so that these dependencies will be added to the implementing module, i.e., home module. But it didn't happened. Do you know why?

dependencies {
    @OptIn(ExperimentalComposeLibrary::class)
    commonTestApi(compose.uiTest)
    desktopTestApi(compose.desktop.currentOs)
    androidTestImplementation(libs.androidx.compose.ui.test)
    debugImplementation(libs.androidx.compose.ui.test.manifest)
}

I get the unresolved references errors after moving deps from the commonMain and desktopMain source-set:
