How do I bundle my kotlin code to a js file? Right now it's making a jar even though I'm using the kotlin js gradle plugin...

[Ilya Goncharov [JB]]

You need to use ‘gradle build’ and then in ‘build/distribution’ you find your bundled js

[camdenorrb]

That folder doesn't exist

This is my current build.gradle.kts

I tried adding kotlin2js but it kept having issues with it not being resolved

[camdenorrb]

Plugin [id: 'kotlin2js'] was not found in any of the following sources:

[bjonnh]

You cannot use kotlin2js anymore

[bjonnh]

it is replaced by a new approach

[camdenorrb]

Which is?

I usually just call jsBrowserWebpack for what you are asking

[camdenorrb]

I can't seem to be able to use kotlin-dce-js from the plugins scope, do I require the buildscript?

[camdenorrb]

Nevermind, sorry it's been a long day

[camdenorrb]

Thank you so much @bjonnh! Hopefully they update the docs on that, I spent wayyyy too long trying to look for a working method.

[bjonnh]

Yes the doc update should come with 1.3.70

[bjonnh]

a lot of things changed…

[camdenorrb]

I can tell, every source says something else

[camdenorrb]

Pretty messy

[bjonnh]

I spent quite a few hours getting to something that work…

[bjonnh]

"work"

[camdenorrb]

Lmao

Calling gradle build doesn't use webpack and the webpackTask doesn't exist by just applying the Kotlin/JS plugin

[camdenorrb]

If I apply the browser target it makes a task called "browserWebpack" which does do what I want, but it should be clarified that you need to set this target and that the name isn't the same

[Ilya Goncharov [JB]]

Do you have ‘browserWebpack’ task?

[camdenorrb]

And calling gradle build after setting that target doesn't call it by default

[camdenorrb]

But to be fair, I should've noticed the new task

[Ilya Goncharov [JB]]

Ok, I see, we need to change name of task

And calling gradle build after setting that target doesn't call it by default

It is weird, in my project, it does

[camdenorrb]

Can I see your setup?

[camdenorrb]

If I apply kotlin-dce-js it appears to make a kotlin-js-min folder on gradle build but other than that I don't see what I'm doing wrong

You can find setup of dce in 1.3.61
Pay attention on ‘app/build.gradle.kts’ and ‘app/webpack.config.d’

[camdenorrb]

Maybe it's due to EAP?

[Ilya Goncharov [JB]]

In head of commit, that I sent, it is 1.3.61, not 1.3.70
In 1.3.70 there will be dce integrated to js plugin by default
