Can I debug the compilation process? I've set these options in gradle.properties and attached the debugger after run:

org.gradle.debug=true
org.gradle.debug.server=true
org.gradle.debug.suspend=true

...but for some reason the debugger doesn't 'break' on this Exception which is occurring in a JS build:

e: java.lang.AssertionError: Assertion failed
	at org.jetbrains.kotlin.ir.backend.js.transformers.irToJs.JsAstUtilsKt.translateCallArguments(jsAstUtils.kt:341)

I have previously used the debugger successfully to debug Gradle sync issues using the same method... is there something going on with internal process launching that's 'hiding' the JS compiler's activity from the debugger?

there's a Kotlin daemon, which you either want to set debug args on separately from the Gradle daemon (see https://kotlinlang.org/docs/gradle.html#setting-kotlin-daemon-s-jvm-arguments) or disable (-Dkotlin.compiler.execution.strategy=in-process)

Perfect 🙂 Knowledgeable as always @ephemient 👌
