Hi everyone! I'm using the Koin Compiler Plugin in a Compose Multiplatform project built with the Kotlin toolchain. In a standard Android Gradle project, I can easily initialize dependencies by calling startKoin<App> { } in the Android app. However, in the Kotlin toolchain setup, doing this fails to find my shared definitions at runtime. As a workaround, I'm currently forced to initialize the modules manually using modules(AppModule().module()).

Thanks for the report, I'll have a look

Hi again @Sai Charan, by any chance, could you please share the error you get? And/or the project to reproduce? Also, did you try the same KMP project setup in Gradle? Or are you comparing Android+Gradle to KMP+Kotlin Toolchain? (trying to see if it could just be a problem on Koin side)

Hi,
When I set up the Koin Compiler Plugin and add all the annotations to my ViewModels and other classes, the app crashes with org.koin.core.error.NoDefinitionFoundException .
However, if I manually register the generated module by calling:

modules(AppModule().module())

inside startKoin, the app runs without any issues.
I have the same Koin Compiler setup in another project that uses a standard Gradle setup, and there I only need to call:

startKoin<App> { }

and everything works correctly.
I'm not sure if I'm missing something in my Kotlin Toolchain project configuration.

Thanks! Is your Kotlin Toolchain project open source? I'd like to try to reproduce this locally.

I remember setting up the compiler plugin one of the gradle project and it worked
