Guys I'm having trouble with intellij recognizing dependencies in a multi-project, multi-platform project. Does anyone have any experience with this? I can get it to build correctly, just intellij won't recognize any dependencies correctly. Perhaps there's a better IDE for kotlin?

Do you have example project?

[Andrew Adams]

I'm working in a private repo right now, but I'm working on a public example that I can hopefully post here soon.

[Andrew Adams]

Should I post that to youtrack when I'm done?

[turansky]

Yes, if you want any action from Kotlin team 🙂

[Andrew Adams]

👍

[turansky]

Do you use Gradle project “Refresh”?

[Andrew Adams]

Yeah I've tried a few things including different machines/operating systems.

[Andrew Adams]

Given it's on the JVM, shouldn't have much of a difference though...

[turansky]

Which Kotlin version do you use?

[Andrew Adams]

1.4.20

[turansky]

I had some problems with MPP project

[turansky]

My solution:
Kotlin - 1.4.21
IDEA 2020.3.1 + Kotlin plugin 1.4.21

[Andrew Adams]

I'll give it a shot, thanks!

I did not had any problems blob thinking upside down, maybe a sample project is required in order to reproduce the problem 👀

[Andrew Adams]

Well now I've got the problem down to this:
• If I don't add the enableFeaturePreview("GRADLE_METADATA") feature to the settings.gradle.kt file, it will not compile and fail on compiling commonKotlinMetadata, which I'm still not sure what it is.
• If I do add it, it will compile successfully, but intellij will not allow access to the dependency correctly

And here is a test repo:

Basically just want the common sub project to find the konform dependency in the commonMain source set.

I have a similar problem but in a slightly more specific scenario in which I try to access muktiplatform classes from pure jvm module (have also prepared a test repo for that) https://stackoverflow.com/q/65830632/1118475
