📣 For everyone that wants to try out 1.4.0-dev-35, but has issues migrating
• I pushed a pull request to the kotlin-examples repository, updating all examples to the new APIs (PULL REQUEST)
Common Issues:
• Make sure to use the new Provider/Property API: jdkVersion = 8 -> jdkVersion.set(8)
• Any path of type String is now represented as <http://java.io|java.io>.File
• Any collection of files/directories is now represented as Gradles ConfigurableFileCollection
• Make sure (especially in Android Projects) to configure Dokka tasks lazy: tasks.withType<DokkaTask>() { // config } -> tasks.withType<DokkaTask>().configureEach { } , tasks.getByName -> tasks.named ,etc. Good read https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/task_configuration_avoidance.html
• Note: MPP projects will have all source sets automatically configured. No need for register yourself!
• Tip: Use ./gradlew --stacktrace to get better error messages of what is wrong. I noticed, that the short error message for Groovy scripts is not useful at all
And as always: Feel free to drop me a DM at any time you encounter an issue ☺️
Have fun, folks. Enjoy Kotlin 1.4.0 ☺️ 🎊

Love it! Finally, automatic configuration of source sets is alive and well. Well done, all! Looking forward to the full release!

@Sebastian Sellmair [JB] thank you so much 🥇 The pull request and the list of common issues with all the tips were super useful for me!! 🎉

@Sebastian Sellmair [JB] I already have some feedback about the Jekyll Plugin for 1.4.0-dev-35 here: https://github.com/arrow-kt/arrow/issues/2183#issuecomment-676517654 If there is a better way for you to manage it, please, let me know 🙌

[Sebastian Sellmair [JB]]

Hey I'll get back to the original issue in a Moment, but before I forget it:
I see you using

dependencies {
    dokkaJekyllPlugin("org.jetbrains.dokka:jekyll-plugin:$DOKKA_VERSION")
}

Which is not harmful, but not required also ☺️
The jekyll plugin dependency will be automatically added. This dokkaJekyllPlugin configuration ist just for additional "on-top" dependencies that you would like to load (from external plugin authors)

[Rachel]

Thank you so much!! 🙌

Regarding the frontend related issues. Let me tag some of my colleagues here, because I am an absolute 0 when it comes to frontend 🤷
