Hello, is it possible to ship relocated kotlin libraries with the shadowJar plugin? Currently I'm having an issue with kotlin_builtins classes not being found

[mbonnin]

I found it not easy mainly because of https://github.com/johnrengelman/shadow/issues/232

[mbonnin]

I've never bumped into the kotlin_builtins issue though. What is the stacktrace you got?

[Su5eD]

here you go: https://pastebin.com/S9TcJbui
I also made sure the services are relocated properly

[mbonnin]

So kotlin-reflect is looking for dev.su5ed.repack.kotlin.Any which doesn't exist.

[Su5eD]

I get that 😛

[mbonnin]

Reflection + shadowing is risky.

[mbonnin]

I guess kotlin.Any never exists on the classpath and is substituted with java.lang.Object instead?

[Su5eD]

I'll probably do a jar-in-jar instead.
Also, where is Any declared? Perhaps in kotlin.kotlin_builtins?

[mbonnin]

Which would explain why it's not present... But not really why primaryConstructor requires it

[mbonnin]

where is Any declared

My understanding is that Any doesn't exist as java bytecode. It exists in the language but the compiler substitutes Object in the output

[mbonnin]

(don't quote me on that)

[Su5eD]

the former seems to be the case

[Su5eD]

and none of the kotlin_builtins files are affected by relocation

[Su5eD]

which would explain why it can't find the class
