what kind of errors are reported?

[pniederw]

see above (I edited the message)

can you provide a sample code?

[orangy]

Yes, please, some more context will be really helpful.

[pniederw]

Ah, the Java method I’m calling changed its signature from void foo() to <T> T foo(). So it’s not an issue specified to 1.2.70 but an instance of the general issue that unlike Java, Kotlin can’t infer <T> T foo(). I’ve been running into this quite a lot as this is a common pattern in Java APIs.

[pniederw]

<T> T is often used to make Java DSLs work and doesn’t return a meaningful result (it’s always null). But to call it from Kotlin I need to write non-sensical code such as foo<AnyClassICanThinkOf>().

Seems like https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-5464 problem

[pniederw]

indeed, thanks

Why did you delete the message?

[pniederw]

because it’s not a problem with 1.2.70 as I initially claimed, but a long-standing well-known problem.

[karelpeeters]

Yeah but it's annoying, now we only get to see half the discussion that happened here.
