if i have the following structure and i want to include project-d+e as a dependency inside project b and then again inside project-a
how would i set this up?

build.gradle.kts
settings.gradle.kts
subprojects
  +-- project-www
  +-- project-a (kotlin jvm)
  +-- project-b (kotlin mp jvm+js)
  +-- project-c (kotlin mp jvm+js)
  +-- project-d (java jvm)
  +-- project-e (kotlin jvm)

inside my settings.gradle.kts (root), i've added

include("project-www")
include("project-a")
include("project-b")
...
include("project-e")

what should be going into my project-b/settings.gradle.kts and project-b/build.gradle.kts in order to pull in that project-d or project-e dependencies?
and then i want to include that multiplatform's JVM part in project, would i be following the same steps or should i do something different for including a multiplatform project as dependency?

I don’t have settings in project-b and simply have

implementation(project(":project-e"))

as dependency in project-b

[thanksforallthefish]

does it now work in your case?

[janvladimirmostert]

i've tried that yesterday and it doesn't compile
i found some multiplatform docs, going to rewrite the build scripts to all be in teh multi platform format to see if that fixes the problem

might be worth just writing a bunch of empty projects and getting them linking, then bringing back the dependencies one by one

https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/building-mpp-with-gradle.html#adding-dependencies

[thanksforallthefish]

I don’t have experience with multiplatform, the project I work on is pure jvm

[janvladimirmostert]

then it's likely that what i've done in gradle so far is correct and that multiplatform projects needs a little more config

going to work through those docs tonight and report back on what the solution was if i do find it

[araqnid]

In order to depend on the JVM output of a multiplatform sibling subproject, I had to add this to the consuming project’s build.gradle.kts:

configurations {
    val platformAttr = Attribute.of("org.jetbrains.kotlin.platform.type", org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.KotlinPlatformType::class.java)
    all {
        attributes.attribute(platformAttr, org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.KotlinPlatformType.jvm)
    }
}

That was necessary to make Gradle pick out the JVM output from the exported multiplatform module. Presumably if the consumer is a multiplatform project, that’s automatically added.

[janvladimirmostert]

where should that be going, in the consuming project's kotlin block or in the root of the build.gradle.kts?

i've made a sample github repo, not getting the jvm and js options to compile

[janvladimirmostert]

got it working in intellij now, gradle build is still failing if i run gradle build from the root

[araqnid]

in the top level of the consuming project’s build file (although configurations{} will probably resolve to the right thing even if it’s not top-level, but best to be explicit)

[janvladimirmostert]

seems to work in IntelliJ in both top-level and inside Kotlin block. have moved it to the top-level now

is IntelliJ doing something different compared to regular gradle build considering IntelliJ is working but gradle build from command line is failing?

[janvladimirmostert]

got it working, yay
intellij seems to be less strict than gradle build

[araqnid]

IntelliJ’s interpretation does differ sometimes- sometimes things work only one way round, sometimes only the other
