This is not strictly Kdsl related, but in #general this wasn't answered, so maybe someone here can help? Sorry for double posting, but I did wait a while 🙂 After update to kotlin 1.1.4, my gradle build (groovy based) fails with following

Task with path 'copyMainKotlinClasses' not found in project

. In

build.gradle

I have:

// groovy code should have access to kotlin classes for things like blablabla to work
tasks.compileGroovy.dependsOn 'copyMainKotlinClasses'
// and also for tests
tasks.compileTestGroovy.dependsOn 'copyTestKotlinClasses'

Gradle version: 4.0.1

What does

copyMainKotlinClasses

task? And why you need it?

@tapchicoma because the project I'm working on has Java, Groovy and Kotlin interlaced in the most peculiar way and without it Groovy classes cannot resolve Kotlin dependencies. This tasks ensures that Kotlin generated classes are available on the classpath before it compiles Groovy.

I heard that there is some changes where kotlin now puts class files, may check it later

I'll create an issue on YT, when I have the time. Because to me it looks like a regression.

checked, indeed there is no

copyMainKotlinClasses

task anymore, but I see compiled classes in

build/classes/kotlin

folder. Maybe you don't need this

dependsOn

anymore?

As I've said, without it Groovy code does not see Kotlin code. Depending on compileKotlin instead does not have any effect either.
