So I upgraded to 1.0.0 and I'm getting experimental warnings for all sorts of coroutine APIs (

produce

UNDISPATCHED

, etc). According to the docs I can opt in via "the compiler argument -Xuse-experimental=kotlin.Experimental" but I can't for the life of me figure out how to specify this in my gradle files. I tried adding this to my root build.gradle, but it's not working:

Copy code

tasks.withType(org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile).all {
        kotlinOptions {
            freeCompilerArgs += [
                    '-Xuse-experimental=kotlin.Experimental'
            ]
        }
    }

Does anybody know how I can opt-in properly?

Did you add it to all your modules or allprojects{} block?

allprojects

Use annotation kotlinx.coroutines.ExperimentalCoroutinesApi instead in your arguments

That worked! Thanks a lot!

How would this look for Groovy/Gradle in an Android project? Is this documented?

gildor

The same for Android. This snippet already on Groovy

gildor

What is exactly documented? There is universal API to mark some API as experimental and universal way to enable such API using -Xuse-experimental compiler flag

See this KEEP for details https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/blob/master/proposals/experimental.md

I think the above is in Kotlin Gradle DSL... I'm still using groovy. I mean this option (is there a list of these names?), I looked for it in the Channel's guide and on main coroutines page, shouldn't this be indicated there?

I don't suppose a typical user new to coroutines will have an easy time discovering this.

gildor

No, this snippet is groovy

gildor

There are no single quote and collection literals in Kotlin

Why do you need list? If you have some experimental API Idea and compiler will warn you about experimental status of it and suggest to apply experimental annotation to your function/class, this annotation is what you can pass to compiler to enable such API for whole project

It's not that obvious for those that didn't see that KEEP, and the IDE isn't really clear about it in the tooltip.

Documentation about experimental annotations https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/blob/master/COMPATIBILITY.md

Yes, I agree, probably it's possible to improve ide tooltip text

I saw that list, but i didn't know how to enable these until you pointed me to the KEEP and then one has to look up the proper Gradle syntax for it.
