Can't import `kotlin.io.path` . Tried invalidating caches and restart. Still no luck. Any idea on how to make this work?

What is it you actually want to do? Path is in java.io.file.Path. Kotlin adds extension functions to the Path class. These extension functions are declared in <http://kotlin.io|kotlin.io> but are implicitly imported so you don't have to.

I just want to use this `Path` constructor, from Kotlin's standard library, instead of Java's `Paths.get()` method.

<https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.io.path/>

This was introduced in Kotlin 1.5. Are you using an IDE plugin for the latest version?

You need to depend on `kotlin-stdlib-jdk7` or `-jdk8` to use `kotlin.io.path` package. Usually stdlib dependencies are added automatically by Kotlin gradle plugin, but sometimes gradle plugin fails to determine that it's ok to use `kotlin-stdlib-jdk8` and adds a dependency on `kotlin-stdlib` only.

<@U01MQG40ZNC> Yes, I am using the latest version.

<@U0AAQKT9Q> Adding `kotlin-stdlib-jdk7` does the job. Thank You so much. But it is really confusing for a beginner to understand why something from the `stdlib` works and why it doesn't.
