A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Is it expected that with 1.4.0 and `kotlin { js(IR) { useCommonJs(); binaries.executable(); nodejs() }` `tasks.compileKotlinJs.get().outputFile.absolutePath`evaluates to `&lt;project dir&gt;/build/classes/kotlin/main/&lt;project&gt;.js` but that there are no such files but only a folder `default` with content?

It is expected, because in IR compiler you have 2 “compilation” tasks, `compileKotlinJs` is about compilation of IR (klib file format) and you have `compile(Development|Production)ExecutableKotlinJs` and it is task which outputs js file, and it will point on necessary place

Yeah, I found these tasks and use them as input for ncc now.
But still, why does the `compileKotlinJs` task has that file defined as `ouptutFile` if it is not an output file with the current configuration.
This is highly confusing and feels wrong.
