# dokka

[Mike Hall]

If you need examples of my Gradle files or any other details, please ask, I'm not sure what exactly you would want and I don't want to start spamming the channel with unnecessary clutter.

[Kamil Doległo]

Sure, could you please tell me which Gradle and Dokka versions are you using?

[Mike Hall]

Ah, that would help! Gradle version 6.5, Android Gradle plugin version 4.1.1 and Dokka version 1.4.20

[Kamil Doległo]

Thanks ☺️ Just to make sure, all other tasks (like dokkaHtml and dokkaGfm ) are available, right?

[Kamil Doległo]

I’m asking because the dokkaMultimodule tasks will only be added in a parent project when there are subprojects present, and I’m trying to see if they are recognized correctly

[Mike Hall]

Yes, I have them set up and all are producing documentation

[Kamil Doległo]

Hm, that’s kind of strange then. Could you please share you project or at least some minimal example?

[Mike Hall]

I don't have access rights to the repository to share it, but will see if I can recreate the project in a simpler form to share, certainly.

[Mike Hall]

I assume, if the task did exist, it would appear below the main overarching gradle task.

This is my gradle tab task list.

[Kamil Doległo]

Thanks ☺️
Yes, it should certainly appear there

[Mike Hall]

the app and 4 modules all also show the documentation group in their specific task lists.

[Mike Hall]

@Kamil Doległo - this is a very cut down version of my library...

Also, thanks for taking the time to look at this.

[Kamil Doległo]

Sure thing

[Kamil Doległo]

Oh, I see. So the problem is that your modules are at the same level and you apply dokka to them separately (as I mentioned before: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C0F4UNJET/p1611051128012900?thread_ts=1611050620.011900&cid=C0F4UNJET). So now the easiest fix would be to add and apply dokka in the top-level buildfile (DokkaTest/build.gradle).
The second way would be to create a multimodule task manually in some subproject and add all those other dokka tasks to it manually

[Mike Hall]

Ah, OK, so it is a setup issue on my part, I assumed it would be - are there instructions on adding Dokka to the top level build file?

[Kamil Doległo]

Not really unfortunately, there’s only an example: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-examples/tree/master/gradle/dokka/dokka-multimodule-example

[Kamil Doległo]

it should work out of the box though

[Kamil Doległo]

Just add it to the plugins block, remove the explicit versions from the subprojects (Gradle will complain if you don’t do that, I believe), and it should be good to go

[Mike Hall]

Right! With a little jiggery-pokery, and a lot of assistance from this github project......

[Mike Hall]

I have managed to get it working perfectly.

[Mike Hall]

Thanks for all your help @Kamil Doległo - you are a genius 😄

Glad to hear that it worked! Thanks for the update ☺️
