Hi) I'm trying to test New Type Inference!
But I can not configure it(
I use gradle kotlin DSL with plugin:
kotlin("gradle-plugin", "1.3.0-rc-190") and kotlin version kotlin("stdlib-jdk7", "1.3.0-rc-190")

I can not enable newInference in gradle DSL:

kotlin {
    experimental {
        newInference = "enable" //this does not compile
    }
}

because ExperimentalExtension is missing newInference variable

org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.dsl.ExperimentalExtension:
open class ExperimentalExtension {
    var coroutines: Coroutines? = null
}

Please put code snippets in triple backticks `

This flag hasn't landed in the compiler yet. You have to use the old -X flags for now. I forget the names which enable the new inference. There's two of them...

@jw thanks - got it 🙂

@jw can confirm that

afterEvaluate {
    tasks.withType(KotlinCompile::class)
        .forEach {
            it.kotlinOptions { freeCompilerArgs = listOf("-Xnew-inference") }
        }
}

fix the issue 🙂
