Hi,

What is the easiest way to convert from SortedSet<String> to pure array String[] in Kotlin?

[serebit]

Probably toTypedArray()

[GarouDan]

I tried this one, but it seems do not work in my gradle script.

[GarouDan]

I think some kind of more “pure” String[]

[serebit]

Are you using .gradle, or .gradle.kts

[GarouDan]

gradle.kts ,

the related block is:

setPublications(publishing.publications.names.toTypedArray() as String[])

[GarouDan]

And the property publications is defined internally as:

String[] publications

[serebit]

String[] isn't a type in Kotlin, and you don't need to cast anything. toTypedArray returns Array<String>, which is Kotlin's version of String[]

[serebit]

setPublications(publishing.publications.names.toTypedArray())

[GarouDan]

Yes, I agree, unfortunately this doesn’t work. I receive the following:

setPublications(publishing.publications.names.toTypedArray())
                             ^ Type mismatch: inferred type is Array<String!> but String! was expected

[serebit]

try adding a * after setPublications(

[GarouDan]

Cool, yes, this did the trick. I was needing the spread operator here

[GarouDan]

Thanks a lot! 😉

[serebit]

No problem :)
