hey, does anyone know what else you are supposed to do other than adding kotlin.explicitApi() to get explicit API mode enabled?

[louiscad]

Using Kotlin 1.4. Why that question, didn't you simply try?

[elect]

I did, no errors or warnings

[elect]

sync, clean and build.. nothing

[louiscad]

There's different ways and levels documented here: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/whatsnew14.html#explicit-api-mode-for-library-authors

But what you say sounds like a bug that'd be worth reporting on kotl.in/issue

[elect]

I just wonder how something so simply apparently may no work

[louiscad]

Report the issue and you'll find out eventually 🙂

[elect]

maybe I'm doing something wrong

[elect]

I'll do

[louiscad]

@elect Oh, I have an idea. Are you overwriting freeCompilerArgs somewhere in your projects instead of use += to ensure you keep existing arguments?

[elect]

..yes

[louiscad]

Then fix that just like I said by using += in place of = and I bet high that it'll work as expected.

[elect]

yep, it works now

[elect]

thanks Louis

Glad I helped 🙂
