It seems like IDEA does not recognize java imports in Kotlin

[gildor]

It should be fine, hard to say something without code or your build file. Maybe you could share some sample project

[ananthraghuraman]

[ananthraghuraman]

above is the code (two files, one is app.kt and the other is build.gradle)

[ananthraghuraman]

when imported into IntelliJ, it fails to recognize java imports

[ananthraghuraman]

I am using 12.41 kotlin plugin and 1.2.21 Kotlin

[gildor]

what is “java import”? Import of code from java.* package?

[ananthraghuraman]

yes sir

[ananthraghuraman]

I am able to compile it in gradle from command line

[ananthraghuraman]

but IntelliJ does not recognize the imports in kotlin

[gildor]

You probably imported project in a some wrong way. Try do that again. Close the project and choose File -> Project from existing sources…

[ananthraghuraman]

Ok, will do

[gildor]

And then choose “import project from external model” -> Gradle

[gildor]

also it can be misconfigured JDK,you can check in project settings that jdk is pointing on valid location

[ananthraghuraman]

will do

[JoeHegarty]

One other thing to check, are you sure IntelliJ has the same version of the Kotlin plugin as you are using in Gradle? Tools -> Kotlin -> Configure Kotlin Plugin Updates

[JoeHegarty]

We had a really weird issue where imports were not showing up and the debugger wouldn't start last week, and we tracked it down to that.

[JoeHegarty]

1.2.21 from your gradle is pretty old. 1.2.50 is latest so you might want to bump that and then ensure you have 1.2.50 in IntelliJ

[ananthraghuraman]

@Andrey, checked JDK, ensured project is re-imported properly - still same issue

[ananthraghuraman]

@JoeHegarty Yeah, I have an older version because the latest kotlin-stdlib-jdk8 wanted 1.2.51 version of kotlin-stdlib and 1.2.51 version of everything else. This bleeding edge version seems to be in ideadev

[ananthraghuraman]

But, I will try again

[gildor]

Ideadev? Do you use not-stable version of Idea?

[gildor]

Use 1.2.50, 1.2.51 is not released officially

[JoeHegarty]

Yeh, and as I say, we had an issue where the debugger wouldn't start, imports wouldn't resolve etc. And it was because Gradle/Maven were at 1.2.50 and the plugin was a previous version. It took several folks on our team out for like half a day.

[JoeHegarty]

Need to dig into it a bit more.

[gildor]

I never had issues with different versions of Kotlin compiler/stdlib and idea plugin. But it can be a bug on a specific version of plugin itself

[JoeHegarty]

Yeh, first time we've seen it as well.
