i don't honestly understand what it means by completing type inference since I've tried importing precisely either of those functions, as well as being as specific with class types as possible, nothing changes, and it shouldn't matter anyways? Maybe I should just reinstall.

usually you see that error when the compiler can’t deduce what the resulting type should be

[Hullaballoonatic]

that's weird, because I designated it specifically

[Shawn]

but that doesn’t seem to be the real issue

[Hullaballoonatic]

val a: ArrayList<Int> = arrayListOf(2) gives me the same error

[Shawn]

right, I don’t expect it to work in any case since the generic type isn’t the root cause

[Hullaballoonatic]

is it having a hard time figuring if it wants to use the kotlin or java implementation? doesn't kotlin just use the java one?

[Hullaballoonatic]

has no problem with this:

val a: ArrayList<Int> = listOf(2) as ArrayList<Int>

[Hullaballoonatic]

which is basically what i've been doing to get around the issue

[orangy]

Are you on a latest version?

[Shawn]

it may be worth reinstalling the kotlin plugin at the least

[Hullaballoonatic]

Yeah, I'm on 1.2.41

[Hullaballoonatic]

I'll fiddle some more. Thanks for the ideas.
