A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Hi all! I’m new to Kotlin and Ktor. I just generated a Ktor project from <https://start.ktor.io/>. I added the routing, content negotiation, and kotlinx.serialization plugins. When I try to build my project I’m getting a `Unresolved reference: ContentNegotiation` error in `com/talhaguy/plugins/Serialization.kt`. Does any one know how I can get past this error? Thanks in advance!

I have a feeling not everything I needed got generated. I was following the <https://ktor.io/docs/creating-http-apis.html#source_code> tutorial and the `/src/main/resources/application.conf`  did not get generated either and I manually created it.

:man-facepalming: just had to add `import io.ktor.server.plugins.contentnegotiation.*` - problem solved!

Kotlin requires you to import everything you use in your file (with a few exceptions, e.g. standard library stuff). Some (most?) IDEs that support Kotlin would help you with this by providing “fixes” to import those classes for you. :simple_smile:
