# serialization

[Dariusz Kuc]

Hello 👋
Wondering if anyone tried using https://github.com/tschuchortdev/kotlin-compile-testing together with kotlinx-serialization? I'm trying to test out my auto-generated code but since serialization build plugin wasn't run, my compilation is failing as the serialization generated code is not available (e.g. <foo>.serializer() on serializable objects). Any ideas/suggestions?

looks like the lib can accept custom compilers that implement ComponentRegistrar but don't see any references to that interface in the kotlinx lib... 😞

the serialization plugin is part of the Kotlin repo, not the kotlinx.serialization repo https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/tree/master/plugins/kotlin-serialization/kotlin-serialization-compiler

Indeed it is part of main kotlin repo. I tried following https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-47900 to include kotlin-serialization-unshaded but sadly it doesn't work due to shaded package.... 😞

compiler complains about not implemented method as it uses com.intellij.mock.MockProject (shaded) class vs <http://org.jetbrains.kotlin.com|org.jetbrains.kotlin.com>.intellij.mock.MockProject (proper)

*tried using org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-serialization:1.5.31 as a dep but it also has the same problem

if that doesn't work then I don't know :-/

if nothing else, you could write a test using Gradle TestKit, but that would be slower

Oo unsure what changed but it started working today. Guessing maybe some old Gradle cache was messing things up.
