I tried to add dukat generation for a library, but...

# javascript

I tried to add dukat generation for a library, but when I build, nothing happens and the build/externals folder is basically empty.
This is in a multiplatform project

val jsMain by getting {
            dependencies {
                implementation(npm("fabric", "4.5.0"))
                implementation(npm("@types/fabric", "4.5.0", generateExternals = true))
            }
        }

I’ve tried with both

plugins {
    kotlin("multiplatform") version "1.5.31"

and

plugins {
    kotlin("multiplatform") version "1.6.0"

generateExternals succeeds but the externals folder has nothing

Even with a clean build it prints this output:

> Task :jsGenerateExternals UP-TO-DATE
Caching disabled for task ':jsGenerateExternals' because:
  Caching has not been enabled for the task
Skipping task ':jsGenerateExternals' as it is up-to-date.
:jsGenerateExternals (Thread[Execution worker for ':',5,main]) completed. Took 0.001 secs.

Do you need it for SVG building only?

We’re investigating using the fabric library via kotlin for mobile apps
