When I follow the directions for setting up Compose Multiplatform UI tests using the current KMP plugin-generated template app (which uses kotlin 2.2.20), I get a Kotlin gradle DSL errors about the kotlin > androidTarget > dependencies block and its contents. (See https://www.jetbrains.com/help/kotlin-multiplatform-dev/compose-test.html#create-the-test-source-set-and-add-the-testing-library-to-dependencies, step #3, sub-step #3, which adds the code below.)

kotlin {

// ...

androidTarget {

// ...

dependencies {

androidTestImplementation("androidx.compose.uiui test junit4 android1.8.2")

debugImplementation("androidx.compose.uiui test manifest1.8.2")

}

}

}

The first compilation error is "'fun dependencies(configure: KotlinDependencies.() -> Unit): Unit' cannot be called in this context with an implicit receiver. Use an explicit receiver if necessary." Replacing dependencies with [e-mail] gets past that problem, but then androidTestImplementation and debugImplementation are both flagged as "Unresolved reference" errors.

Is anyone else seeing these issues? Any workarounds? Thanks!

Hi Robert, thanks for reporting this. I'll share the feedback with the JetBrains Tech Writers.

I think quite possibly we've updated the app, but not the tutorial fully. Sorry about that, we'll try to fix ASAP

Hi Robert!
Thank you for your feedback

Seems we made a small mistake in the doc and instead of this

Add the required dependencies for `androidTarget`:

```kotlin {

// ...

androidTarget {

// ...

dependencies {

androidTestImplementation("androidx.compose.uiui test junit4 android1.9.0")

debugImplementation("androidx.compose.uiui test manifest1.9.0")

}

}

}```

It should be that way

Add the required dependencies in the root `build.gradle.kts`:

```dependencies {

// ...

androidTestImplementation("androidx.compose.uiui test junit4 android1.9.0")

debugImplementation("androidx.compose.uiui test manifest1.9.0")

}```

Could you please try this solution?

@Ekaterina Zaitseva That seems to have done the trick. Thanks!

One note: when you say "in the root `build.gradle.kts`", I think of the file in the project root folder which holds the plugins { ... } declaration, but no dependencies { ... }. Instead, I added those lines to what I'd call the "root dependencies in the composeApp build.gradle.kts file" (along with debugImplementation(compose.uiTooling)) and it worked. I hope that helps.

Great news! 🎉
Thank you very much for the comment, you're right, that is probably clearer
