After upgrading to 1.5.0 (from 1.4.3) I got this error:

Caused by: kotlinx.serialization.SerializationException: Class 'ArrayList' is not registered for polymorphic serialization in the scope of 'Collection'.

Partial stacktrace:

kotlinx.serialization.SerializationException: Class 'ArrayList' is not registered for polymorphic serialization in the scope of 'Collection'.
Mark the base class as 'sealed' or register the serializer explicitly.

The new version forgot how to convert a list?

[Jose A.]

install(ContentNegotiation) {
        val jsonConfig = Json(DefaultJson) {
            encodeDefaults = false
        }

        json(jsonConfig)
    }

This is the way I install the feature (just using `json()`fails too)

Going back to 1.4.3 fixes the error...

Hey @Jose A., thanks for the notice. Could you file an issue?

[Jose A.]

Will do!

@Jose A. Can you please post type of the response here?

[Jose A.]

get("/list") {
                val response: Collection<String> = listOf("a", "b")
                call.respond(response)
            }

[Jose A.]

This triggers the exception. So Collection<String>

[Jose A.]

I just posted the problem here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTOR-1795

[Joost Klitsie]

Did you try cleaning/invalidating cache?

[Jose A.]

Same result

[Rustam Siniukov]
