Hi everyone, I'm working on a Kotlin Multiplatform...

# webassembly

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a Kotlin Multiplatform project and encountering issues with .wasm file validation. I created a minimal test setup with the following code:
kotlin

@JsExport
fun sayHello(): Int { return 42 }

When I validate the output with:
bash

wasm-validate multiplatformlib.wasm

I get the error:

000002a: error: expected valid result type (got -0xf)

Has anyone else encountered this issue with Kotlin 2.1.21 and WASM validation? Any suggestions on why the .wasm file validation is failing or how to fix it? Thanks!

My Gradle configuration:
kotlin

@file:OptIn(ExperimentalWasmDsl::class)
import org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.ExperimentalWasmDsl

plugins {
    id(libs.plugins.myapp.kotlin.multiplatform.get().pluginId)
}

kotlin {
    wasmJs {
        binaries.library()
        browser()
    }
    sourceSets {
        val wasmJsMain by getting {
            kotlin.srcDir("src/wasmJsMain/kotlin")
        }
    }
}

I'm using Kotlin version 2.1.21 and generating the .wasm file with:
bash

./gradlew :shared:data:minimalwasm:clean :shared:data:minimalwasm:wasmJsProductionLibraryCompileSync

Hi, how did you run it?

[Anuta Vlad Sv]

Hi! This is the command i used to validate the .wasm

bash

wasm-validate multiplatformlib.wasm

and to generate it i used
./gradlew shareddataminimalwasmclean shareddataminimalwasmwasmJsProductionLibraryCompileSync

I believe that wasm-validate could be outdated and not supporting wasm GC proposal

[Anuta Vlad Sv]

I see, is there another way i can check the .wasm file is valid?

[Igor Yakovlev]

Try to check if your wasm-validate supports wasm-gc proposal and update it if needed..you can also validate it with nodejs using https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAssembly/Reference/JavaScript_interface/validate_static

Will try thank you color

So i used the WebAssembly.validate fun and it seems to be a valid file 🥳
