Hey all, I can't seem to get multimodule working. When I add this to my top-level gradle I just get a Unresolved reference: dokkaHtmlMultiModule error. Any ideas?

[Marcin Aman]

Did you apply the plugin in the plugins block or added it to buildscript

[bsimmons]

Yes, it's in the plugins block for each module. (But not at the top-level)

[Marcin Aman]

i think that you have to apply the plugin to the toplevel. Plugins should be propagated to other modules

[bsimmons]

Hmmm, that doesn't seem to work. I have two multiplatform modules that just happen to be in the same gradle project. Is that the correct setup?

[Javier]

I am applying dokka at root level and in each Multiplatform module

[bsimmons]

@Javier And where do you put the multimodule dokka task?

[Javier]

I think I was doing both, but I extracted some code to precompiled plugins and I think I am applying it on root now

[Javier]

Yeah, now I am using it at root level only

[bsimmons]

Hmmm. Ok, for me the task doesn't work in the main/root build.gradle.kt

[bsimmons]

kts*

[Marcin Aman]

Thats weird, can i take a look on the project? Is it available somewhere?

[bsimmons]

Unforuntately, it's not open source. Are there any good example projects out there? that might be helpful

[Javier]

I am just doing that

[Javier]

That precompiled plugin is used at root build.gradle.kts, but you can just add that code directly

[bsimmons]

Cool, that works.

[bsimmons]

Though it doesn't find any of the sub modules so that page is empty. Do you need to manually setup subproject dependencies?

[Marcin Aman]

btw @Javier you can migrate to 1.4.30 and you wouldn’t need to rename this file 😄

[Javier]

Ah, it is indeed 1.4.30, I didn't see it is not longer necessary, I will try it later, thank you 😄

[Javier]

@bsimmons what do you mean with subproject dependencies?

[bsimmons]

I just mean that the page looks empty like this:

[Javier]

Ah, it is not happening to me

[Javier]

I am doing nothing special, just applying the dokka at the root and having a few subprojects with multiplatform plugin

[bsimmons]

Yeah, I might be doing it wrong then. I have two somewhat independent modules in an empty gradle project. I'll try restructuring a bit

[bsimmons]

Hmmm, if I add submodule, it will only document the submodule but doesn't include the parent

[Javier]

I have a project I have to update so it is not using the last dokka and it is using the plugin in subprojects too

[Javier]

but maybe it can help to you

here you can see the docs

[Javier]

btw when I update it removing all the unnecessary things, I will come back here

[Javier]

https://github.com/JavierSegoviaCordoba/mokoki

[Javier]

here it is using only at root

[Javier]

https://github.com/JavierSegoviaCordoba/gradle-plugins/blob/main/docs/src/main/kotlin/com.javiersc.gradle.plugins.docs.gradle.kts

[Javier]

I have to remove the rename from there and try

[bsimmons]

Great, thanks for the examples! I'll see if I can follow
