Hi there! I'm using the Kotlin DSL with Gradle and...

Hi there! I'm using the Kotlin DSL with Gradle and a Kotlin multiplatform project in IntelliJ and I'm always struggling when I add new dependencies to my project. What is the right way to add new (Maven) dependencies? What happens is that whenever I add a new one and build the project from the CLI it works but I can't see the new dependency in the External Dependencies list in the Project sidebar in IntelliJ. What am I doing wrong? Even if I run gradle clean assemble from the IDE it still doesn't get updated.

I often have to right-click in the sidebar and and do "Refresh Gradle dependencies"

[addamsson]

where do I see this option?

[Simon Kågedal Reimer]

In the Gradle sidebar, right-click on your project / build task or whatever it's called... I could screenshot for you when I'm at the computer

[addamsson]

that would be great, thanks!

[addamsson]

i don't see this option anywhere 😞

[addamsson]

oh wait a sec

[addamsson]

I was looking at the wrong sidebar (Project, not Gradle)

thanks:

found it

👍

Yes, that one! 🙂 The Gradle IntelliJ integration seems less than optimal though, in my experience. I often have to do that thing and/or "Reimport Gradld project" a couple of times before changes take effect... 🙁

[addamsson]

yep

[addamsson]

it would be great if this was automatic

This should work automatically after project import. After changing the build file, do you get a popup "Gradle projects need to be imported"?

[addamsson]

i enabled auto-import, but it is not always working
