Following does not work:

@Serializable
data class ApiResponse<T>(
    val result: T? = null,
    val error: ApiError? = null
)

call.respond(ApiResponse(result = gameEngine.newGame()))

But this does:

@Serializable
class Foo(val bar: ApiResponse<String>)

call.respond(Foo(ApiResponse(result = gameEngine.newGame())))

Using ktor + serialization

My question is why? and how can i achieve the first one.

I am getting Serializer for class 'ApiResponse' is not found for 1st approach

try ApiResponse without the data

Still the same error.

could not reproduce this based on https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/blob/master/guide/example/example-classes-14.kt 🤔

[Maksym Plencler]

Can you?

[Sourabh Rawat]

It seems it does not work when I use it with ktor
