Hi! I'm trying to use Dokka 0.11.0-dev-45 build with an android library project but when I add it to the classpath, it starts giving errors about the android gradle plugin 😕 . When I comment out the Android gradle plugin id, it gives errors about not being able to find the kotlin-android plugin too.

An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'com.android.library']
> Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.android.internal.version-check']
   > Could not create plugin of type 'VersionCheckPlugin'.
      > Could not initialize class com.android.build.gradle.internal.plugins.VersionCheckPlugin

any idea why this might be? I had two modules (app and lib, but I've removed the app module since). Would really appreciate it because I would like to figure out a way to do ((or contribute) an output format that does Markdown with Java signatures using Dokka 🙂.

Thanks

I will try to reproduce your issue today (worst case scenario on Monday) 👍

Thank you @Sebastian Sellmair [JB]. I can also send you a test project if you like

[Sebastian Sellmair [JB]]

That would be really helpful ☺️ 👍

The problematic line is commented with
// ---- PROBLEMATIC LINE BELOW  in the root build.gradle file. Really appreciate it!

@Sebastian Sellmair [JB] So apparently adding
classpath("com.google.guava:guava:27.0.1-jre")

in the buildscript classpath fixes it. I don't understand why, though. I don't see any usage of guava that would override this in the dokka source/build files. Maybe you have a better idea.

Here's the issue that pointed me to the workaround:

I had the same error, and adding guava to the classpath fixed it for me too. Now i’m getting this exception when running dokka tasks though:

> Extension of type ‘KotlinProjectExtension’ does not exist. Currently registered extension types: [ExtraPropertiesExtension, ApiValidationExtension, Boolean]

Edit: Was missing the kotlin plugin. I’m surprised this worked before…

@Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD] did it create the documentation for classes? After doing this, I only get the search and navigation html pages and a blank index page for the package.

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

Yea, it worked. I had to open the index.html page for the module though, not the nagivation.html page.

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

search autocomplete shows the symbols, but clicking on them doesn’t do anything

[Afzal Najam]

That looks nice. I'll try with workflow maybe

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

there’s definitely some formatting bugs still

subprojects seems to be broken too (only generates a page for the root projects)

[Sebastian Sellmair [JB]]

@Afzal Najam Thanks for your project. I will start to investigate your issue now ☺️

[Sebastian Sellmair [JB]]

We were able to find the issue, but it might some time to resolve this. The workaround of adding guava manually might temporarily be the best option until some dokka release!

[Afzal Najam]

Awesome! Thank you! @Sebastian Sellmair [JB]
