well i have a kotlin project
and it uses gradle-kotlin plugin
the thing it uses this plugin to run / configure kotlin not sure what is the equivalent of kotlinc via this
as CI fails to run kotlinc command

Not quite sure what you’re asking. Are you trying to run kotlinc directly in CI?

[Chills]

afaik the kotlinc cant be used in CI as they are using gradle-kotlin plugin to run things.

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

The gradle kotlin plugin does a lot more than just run kotlinc. Gradle downloads dependencies, the kotlin plugin configures the classpath to pass to kotlinc so it can see all the dependencies, and if you have any other compile options configured via gradle (in a compileKotlin block), it converts those to arguments to the compiler.

Why are you trying to run kotlinc in CI directly, instead of just running gradle? For example, the default Travis CI script for Android projects will run ./gradlew build (and maybe connectedCheck).

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

You can run kotlinc directly if you really want to, but you would have to do everything that gradle and the gradle kotlin plugin are doing manually, so I’m not sure why you’d want to.
