Gradle question: I'm upgrading a project to 1.2 and all of a sudden I've got a errors because I'm calling static java methods and this is now prohibited. On further inspection, it looks like my IntelliJ project is being imported with a targetPlatform of 1.6. Any idea of the gradle magic to fix this? I've already got

sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8

in my gradle file, and the project SDK is set correctly to 1.8. Is there another flag I'm missing for targetPlatform?

I'm calling static java methods and this is now prohibited

Is it? I can't seem to find that in http://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/whatsnew12.html

I think it's changed from a warning to an error - then again, I am upgrading a project from 1.1.X to 1.2.0 so I'm not sure when exactly that changed.

You have to set kotlin compile target to 1.8

[dave]

yep - this was my problem! 🙂

tasks.withType(org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile) {
    kotlinOptions {
        // ...
    }
}

thanks - I actually already fixed it (see the next message below my original question) 🙂

Oh, sorry, I'm using my mobile at the moment and missed it

Also annoying on slack - you can't upload an image to a thread...

I use snaggy for that, but I too would've liked to have the functionality built-in
