I have question for the 2.1.0 release… what is the replacement to GlobalContext.get().koin.inject() in 2.1.0 for Android?
I found KoinContextHandler.get() or getKoin() that works the same way, but which is expected to be used as replacement?

[arnaud.giuliani]

yes exactly 👍

[arnaud.giuliani]

KoinContextHandler help us specify the kind of context we want. On Android/JVM we have the GlobalContext

[arnaud.giuliani]

on Kotlin Native and other we are preparing a new context that suits to those platforms

[aipok]

So using KoinContextHandler.get() is the way to go if I’m using Kotlin for Android?

[arnaud.giuliani]

Extension should do the job for you

[arnaud.giuliani]

if you need to the context, yes use it by the KoinContextHandler yes

[aipok]

cool and thanks for explanation 🤟

I’ve just converted my GlobalContext.get().koin to KoinContextHandler.get() but now I get No root scoped initialized exception. Any ideas why?

[Mark]

It looks like it’s because this is being called before startKoin{} returns. However, it worked in 2.0.1

My workaround is to move the loadKoinModules() calls from within startKoin{} to immediately afterwards. Is that the right approach?

[arnaud.giuliani]

what do you want to do?

[Mark]

Just want to update to 2.1.0 and not have that exception 🙂

[arnaud.giuliani]

don’t you use startKoin directly?

[Mark]

Within startKoin{} I call various init() methods (you may remember I mentioned this before) corresponding to different android library modules. An init() method will do stuff like loadKoinModules() This was working fine in 2.0.1

[arnaud.giuliani]

ok then, any problem calling loadKoinModules after starKoin?

[Mark]

It seems to be fine - I just wanted to check that it’s an acceptable approach

[Mark]

Also wanted to check there wasn’t an accidental bug introduced in 2.1.0 - perhaps the root scope should be set earlier, for example

[arnaud.giuliani]

perhaps the root scope should be set earlier,

when do you have a a problem with roto scope?

[Mark]

Could it be that KoinContextHandler.get().get<X>() does not work until startKoin{} has completed?

[arnaud.giuliani]

yes

[arnaud.giuliani]

startKoin is registering the Context for you in KoinContextHandler

[Mark]

Ok, I see, thanks. Is it worth noting in change log that KoinContextHandler.get() is not exactly the equivalent of GlobalContext.get().koin?

[arnaud.giuliani]

yes perhaps, make a documentation part on that

[arnaud.giuliani]

I can add in the changelog right now

[Mark]

Thanks! Also, I noticed that https://start.insert-koin.io/#/_changelog gives a 404 (accessed from https://start.insert-koin.io/#/ )

[arnaud.giuliani]

arf 😕

[arnaud.giuliani]

push in progress, thanks for your feedback 👍
