I am trying to use SQLDelight 2.0.0-alpha02 but it seems like I'm missing something with the setup. Using the guide ( https://cashapp.github.io/sqldelight/android_sqlite/ ) but then replacing it with the new namespace app.cash.sqldelight and version 2.0.0-alpha02 gradle seems to be a bit unhappy. I'm using AS Dolphin Canary 9.

[Laurence Muller]

I used the Android Studio Compose app template and added in this

The driver should also use app.cash.sqldelight group

[Laurence Muller]

Good catch

[jw]

And the snapshot version

[jw]

You also need the snapshot maven repo added

[alec]

alphas are on maven central, shouldn't need snapshot repo

[Laurence Muller]

i guess it's not the driver causing the failure

[alec]

do you have an AndroidManifest.xml with a package name in the same repo?

[alec]

you can get around this by setting the package name explicitly

sqldelight {
  MyDatabase {
    pacakgeName = "..."
  }
}

[alec]

its possible AGP 7.3.0 and sqld are incompatible, they change the manifest parsing APIs now and then

[jw]

Oh right I'm using the snapshot blob sweat smile

[eygraber]

@alec in 7.3.0 I think they started the process of deprecating the package from the manifest, and get it from the namespace in the gradle model

[Laurence Muller]

(1) AS Arctic Fox
You might be right on the AGP thing, using arctic fox with gradle v7.0.x the gradle sync completes just fine.

gradle 7.0.2 & gradle plugin 7.0.4

(2) AS Dolphin
There is no package name in the AndroidManifest.xml. But the app specific build.gradle seems to have a android.namespace entry (new?).

(gradle 7.4.2 & plugin 7.3.0-alpha09)

[Laurence Muller]

oh that explains it, thanks Eliezer

[Laurence Muller]

(3) Chipmunk
Seems to work fine (gradle-bin 7.3.3 + gradle plugin 7.2.0)

[alec]

well, i'll put up a fix anyways since seems like its going to get removed in 8.0 and we'll want to get ahead of that https://github.com/cashapp/sqldelight/pull/3220

[Laurence Muller]

Ah ok, I guess I'll try using chipmunk for now to try out sqldelight 2.x.

To follow up on your suggestion Alec, if i add the sqldelight { } in the gradle file, it just gives me another error message unfortunately:

Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: Could not set unknown property 'pacakgeName' for object of type app.cash.sqldelight.gradle.SqlDelightDatabase.

[alec]

I misspelt packageName

[alec]

😄

[Laurence Muller]

And I didnt notice it 🤦

[Laurence Muller]

well this sparks joy, it worked! 🙏
