10/13/2025, 2:54 AMIs it possible to use the Kotlin Compose Compiler only for test sources? I have a library module where the sources don't depend on Compose at all, but I'm using Compose to write some effective integration tests. Since I don't have any actual Compose dependencies in the main source set, the compiler complains that there's no compose runtime on the classpath. Rather than adding the (unused) compose runtime as a dependency I'd like to try to only apply the compose compiler to test sources first

Good shout on compileOnly though, I hadn't thought of that
