why can't Intellij see native kotlin assert ?

[Dominaezzz]

assertNonNull(input)

[Dominaezzz]

I'm pretty sure the braces are the issue.

[Dominaezzz]

You need assert(input != null) { "input must not be null" }

[Dominaezzz]

Although for your use case consider using require instead of assert.

[LeoColman]

I believe assert is JVM only, tho, isn't it?

[Dominaezzz]

It's multiplatform. Although it's different from the JVM (Java) asserts.

[LeoColman]

Perhaps the documentation is wrong, then? https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/assert.html

[LeoColman]

It's native too, but it's not mpp

[Dominaezzz]

It's mpp but just not on JS, Or does it require all three to be labelled as mpp?

[LeoColman]

Idk hahaha

[LeoColman]

I'd say its mpp if it's implemented in common

[LeoColman]

but idk what could be the right term. require is common, for example

[LeoColman]

https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/require.html

[Dominaezzz]

Hmm, I guess if the kotlin-multipaltform plugin was used? Technically Native itself is multiplatform.

[LeoColman]

that's true
