I can't import class io.ktor.auth.AuthenticationProvider and other classes for ktor, even if I can run a ktor application. Why is it so? Do I need to reference some other dependency? The whole io.ktor.auth package is not available.

This would be in the ktor-auth dependency artifact I think.

Ok. Thanks, Dico! After reading your message, I googled "ktor artifacts" and I found a list of them here: https://ktor.io/quickstart/artifacts.html

On that note, has anyone seen kotlinx-serialization? It's listed https://ktor.io/servers/features/content-negotiation/serialization-converter.html#artifact-74 but cannot be found here https://ktor.io/quickstart/artifacts.html ?

[melatonina]

It's "io.ktorktor serialization$ktor_version". "kotlinx-serialization" is the standard kotlin serialization plugin. I guess https://ktor.io/quickstart/artifacts.html is not updated: gradle can find that dependency just fine.

I can't seem to install any ContentNegotiation libraries... neither Gson nor kotlinx serialisation or Jackson are working for me.

[v79]

Invalidated Caches and restart got Jackson and Gson available. Still no kotlinx-serialization. Oh well.

I'll use them later today or in the next days. I'll update you about my experience.
