api() is the equivalent

[snowe]

that doesn’t work though.

[snowe]

I think I need java-library as a plugin???

[serebit]

do you have a kotlin plugin applied? if not, try adding kotlin-dsl to your plugins

[snowe]

yeah I have everything working. As soon as I change compile to implementation everything starts to fail, because implementation doesn’t resolve transitively.

[snowe]

therefore I either need to add implementation declarations to everything or api just to the common modules.

[snowe]

but api doesn’t resolve unless I add java-library as I just discovered.

[snowe]

but I am not using a java-library.

[snowe]

this is just a multi-module project.

[serebit]

Which is erroring; Intellij, Gradle or both?

[snowe]

sorry I should be clear. java-library resolved my issue.

[octylFractal]

java-library is what you want for that

[octylFractal]

technically your other module is a library for the others

[snowe]

yeah would just declaring the implementations in each module result in faster gradle builds?

[snowe]

our current module layout is really serialized. I don’t think gradle will be able to build anything in parallel

[octylFractal]

I don't know. I've never had an issue with it being super slow

[snowe]

ok thanks for the help.

[jlleitschuh]

@serebit You shouldn't need to apply the kotlin-dsl plugin. The kotlin-dls plugin is for developing Gradle plugins using the kotlin-dsl.

[snowe]

I specified that I was using the kotlin dsl.
