I just upgraded from dokka 0.10.1 to 1.4.30. Is there a simple way to migrate this code ?
I'm trying to follow the migration steps, but have a hard time with this, especially the outputDirectory.
Thanks in advance!

dokka {
    outputFormat = 'html'
    outputDirectory = "$buildDir/doc"
}

Now I just try this, but it doesn't work:

tasks.getByName("dokkaHtml") {
    outputDirectory.set(buildDir.resolve("doc"))
}

You missed
tasks.getByName<DokkaTask>("dokkaHtml") {..}
Please see https://kotlin.github.io/dokka/1.5.30/user_guide/gradle/usage/

Like this?

tasks.getByName("dokkaHtml").configure {
    outputDirectory.set(buildDir.resolve("doc"))
}

[Sylvain Patenaude]

With the above, I'm getting this:

No signature of method: java.io.File.resolve() is applicable for argument types: (String) values: [doc]

[Sylvain Patenaude]

It looks like it's working with this:

tasks.getByName('dokkaHtml').configure {
    outputDirectory.set(file("$buildDir/doc"))
}

[Vadim Mishenev]

I'm sorry. I mean:

tasks.getByName<DokkaTask>("dokkaHtml") {
    outputDirectory.set(buildDir.resolve("doc"))
}

It works with Gradle 6.8 and 7.2

tasks.named<DokkaTask>("dokkaHtml") { .. }

Is this syntax in Kotlin or Groovy?

kotlin

Thanks, that's what I thought. For better or worse, my build.gradle is all Groovy syntax for now, so this:

outputDirectory.set(buildDir.resolve("doc"))

doesn't work and I had to settle for this:

outputDirectory.set(file("$buildDir/doc"))
