I updated the Kotlin plugin in Intellij to 1.6 so I could play around with the new function - readln()

The auto completion isn't showing the new function and the IDE doesn't recognize the function

Is there anything else I need to do to start using Kotlin 1.6?

try invalidating the cache

[IfyKelvinOsakwe]

Okay. Let me try that

[IfyKelvinOsakwe]

It didn't work 😞

[Jurriaan Mous]

Did you update both the plug-in and the dependency?

[IfyKelvinOsakwe]

@Jurriaan Mous the project is just a simple Kotlin/JVM console application

No Gradle. I only updated the Kotlin plugin on IntelliJ

try also closing the project, deleting .idea , invalidate cache and restart

You also need to update the Kotlin version in your project. Updating the IDE plugin is unrelated to the stdlib version.

@elect ... I deleted the .idea

it worked ... Thanks 😊
