I try download kotlin dev version with npm() function in my Gradle but throw error:

Execution failed for task ':kotlinNpmInstall'.
> Cannot find kotlin@1.4.0-M2 in yarn.lock

In yarn exists 1.4.0-M2 version (attach img.)

dependencies {
    implementation(npm("kotlin", "1.4.0-M2"))
}

Failed to reproduce with a dummy project. Can you attach a link to your project?

also, I see that you are using gradle, why don't you just use

dependencies{
   implementation(kotlin("stdlib-js","1.4.0-M2"))
}

@andylamax, kotlin("stdlib-js") installs the same node package as npm()?

[andylamax]

Yes. actually, the one in npm was built from stdlib-js by the kotlin/js compiler.

However, if you intend to use kotlin-stdlib-js from javascript, I am not sure if the gradle dependency would work.

But if you are writing in kotlin, that should defenetly do the trick and it is a better approach

@Ivan Kubyshkin [JetBrains], Sry for the delay in replying:

If you want to try it I have this Scratch Project
Gradle Build where I call npm() function.

With Andy answer I have solved it.
