Has anyone seen this error before?

Caused by: kotlinx.serialization.SerializationException: Can't locate argument-less serializer for class com.kevincianfarini.saddle.Artist$Impl (Kotlin reflection is not available). For generic classes, such as lists, please provide serializer explicitly.

I've done some searching but none of the solutions I've found have worked.

When you look into the Kotlin Bytecode, do you see $serializer on that class?

[kevin.cianfarini]

where exactly can I find the class files if I'm building with gradle?

[itnoles]

Oh sorry, Intellij IDEA

[kevin.cianfarini]

so this is the method for assigning a serializer to a class I've used, since the class I want to serialize/deserialize is generated

[kevin.cianfarini]

@Serializer(for=SomeClass::class) object SomeClassSerializer

[kevin.cianfarini]

this is the specific bytecode that I've decompiled for that

[kevin.cianfarini]

// IntelliJ API Decompiler stub source generated from a class file
// Implementation of methods is not available

package com.kevincianfarini.saddle.util

@kotlinx.serialization.Serializer public object ArtistSerializer : kotlinx.serialization.KSerializer<com.kevincianfarini.saddle.Artist.Impl> {
}

[itnoles]

I am looking for com.kevincianfarini.saddle.Artist$Impl$seralizer

[kevin.cianfarini]

would that be inlined in the class?

[kevin.cianfarini]

if so, I'm not seeing it

[itnoles]

it shouldn't be inlined.

[itnoles]

If you don't see it, it didn't generated that class.

[kevin.cianfarini]

interesting

[kevin.cianfarini]

leading to the gradle plugin probably not being properly applied?

[itnoles]

I guess Yes.

Make sure you setup the corret gradle plugins block. Sometimes, missing setup would mess the kotlinx generation class
