Surprised it wasn’t mentioned in the patch notes for 0.9.18, but Dokka can now be configured entirely in Kotlin build script!

no more delegateClosureOf nastiness?!

Not that I've seen! This is all it took to configure my multiplatform project for common and JVM docs:

tasks.dokka {
    outputDirectory = "$rootDir/public/docs"
    impliedPlatforms = mutableListOf("Common")

    kotlinTasks { emptyList() }

    sourceRoot {
        path = kotlin.sourceSets.commonMain.get().kotlin.srcDirs.first().absolutePath
        platforms = listOf("Common")
    }

    sourceRoot {
        path = kotlin.jvm().compilations["main"].defaultSourceSet.kotlin.srcDirs.first().absolutePath
        platforms = listOf("JVM")
    }
}

If you don't mind me asking @serebit, how do you get your JVM target's javadoc to create a jar? When I run gradlew javadocJar (from my task that makes the javadoc from dokka) it creates it for my common code, but not my jvm target. It doesn't create a jvmJavadocJar task automatically like other tasks unfortunately. 😞

[serebit]

That's odd, it's not creating one for me either @Shan 🤔

@serebit did you happen to figure out why it wasn't generating? I know Dokka is experimentally supporting MPP in next release version, so that might be the reason why it's not working just yet.

[serebit]

That would be my guess. I haven't really investigated it myself, but if you figure it out, feel free to let me know 😛
