Is the ktor client auth feature not multiplatform compatible? i thought so but getting unresolved reference and https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/tree/master/ktor-features/ktor-auth only has a jvm folder

[cy]

server features are not mpp yet

[cy]

client features are placed in another place

[cy]

Do you have client auth dependencies included?

[Simon Schubert]

i mean the auth cleint feature https://ktor.io/clients/http-client/features/auth.html

[cy]

It is mpp

[Simon Schubert]

in my common dependencies i have implementation "io.ktorktor client auth$ktor_version"

[Simon Schubert]

along with implementation "io.ktorktor client core$ktor_version"

[Simon Schubert]

ktor_version = "1.2.0"

[Simon Schubert]

in my android dependencies implementation "io.ktorktor client android$ktor_version"

[cy]

Just tried it and it seems to work well

[cy]

commonMain {
    dependencies {
        implementation kotlin('stdlib-common')
        implementation "io.ktor:ktor-client-core:1.2.0"
        implementation "io.ktor:ktor-client-auth:1.2.0"
    }
}

[cy]

Do you see any errors? What is your gradle version?

[cy]

We actually have known issue regarding gradle metadata version: we use gradle 5.3 in ktor that is too new. Perhaps you need to upgrade it

[Simon Schubert]

thanks, great that it is mpp compatible. i wasn't sure for a second. my gradle is 5.4.1. the in my common code it doesn't show an error. import io.ktor.client.features.auth.Auth is resolving. but when i try to compile it, it doesn't resolve

[Simon Schubert]

wait I will try to use gradle 5.3

[cy]

If no luck you can always include jvm dependcies explicitly

jvmMain {
    dependencies {
        implementation kotlin('stdlib')
        implementation "io.ktor:ktor-client-core-jvm:1.2.0"
        implementation "io.ktor:ktor-client-auth-jvm:1.2.0"
    }
}

[Simon Schubert]

no luck with gradle 5.3. I pushed my current state to github. the gradle file https://github.com/SimonSchubert/Newsout/blob/feature/ktor_auth_feature/shared/build.gradle and the implementation is here https://github.com/SimonSchubert/Newsout/blob/feature/ktor_auth_feature/shared/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/inspiredandroid/newsout/Api.kt

[Simon Schubert]

maybe there is something obviously wrong

[Simon Schubert]

meanwhile I will try the approach you suggested

[Simon Schubert]

damn I couldn't get it working. any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I will give it another try tomorrow

[Simon Schubert]

I had simliar problems trying to add the kotlin kissme library to the project. So I came to the conclusion that it has nothing to do with ktor itself. There might be something wrong with my gradle setup. Sorry for the false alarm and thank you for helping out! 🙂

[Simon Schubert]

Adding

implementation "io.ktor:ktor-client-auth-jvm:$ktor_version"

to the android dependencies finally lets me compile the android project. But somehow it doesn't add a

Authorization

header to the request. I double checked everything and checking the reuest with charles but no header gets throught.

HttpClient {
                    install(Auth) {
                        basic {
                            username = email
                            password = pw
                        }
                    }
                }

Are there any nown issues about that behavoir?
