how am I supposed to create a

kotlin.time.Duration

from something like

d-hh:mm:ss

? Combining

d.toDuration(DAYS) + hh.toDuration(HOURS)

and so on? If yes, I find java

Duration

better in this regards, because you can parse it from a `String`:

Duration.parse("..")

There are

Duration.parse

and

Duration.parseIsoString

methods on Kotlin's Duration, but they only support specific formats for now (not custom). You need to pass an ISO string such as

P1DT13H

, or something more human friendly that's the output of Kotlin

Duration.toString()

like

1h 30m

I don't see any parsing function, 1.5.21

I think this may have been introduced in 1.5.30

damn, you are right

I prefer to stay aligned with the embedded kotlin in gradle for the moment

If you're writing a Gradle plugin I understand, otherwise you really don't need to stick with the Kotlin version used by Gradle

I'm writing a lib for scripts and ki

I see yes, but still this only applies to Gradle plugins (or

buildSrc

code which is kind of a plugin too)
