Made a new project with dev05 today and cannot get MaterialTheme.typography().h3 (or any other style) to work. Reports a code generation error and says see the log? also, if you just type MaterialTheme.typ and choose the code completion suggestion, it drops in a crazy string that includes a package name?

[Leland Richardson [G]]

not sure what this would be, but make sure you’re only calling typography() from a composable function as it itself is a composable function?

[codeslubber]

yes of course I am, thanks @Leland Richardson [G], I could make a short video if you want, I did it twice because it was so strange.. I could swear it did enlarge the text, but then it would not even compile…

[Leland Richardson [G]]

sure

[Adam Powell]

I've had the crazy autocomplete thing happen too, it's not just you 🙂

[codeslubber]

Tried to upload a gif, must have failed for being too big.

[codeslubber]

oh there it is!

[Ian Warwick]

@codeslubber same thing happens to me, just a matter of manually typing it and not allowing code complete to finish your statement.

[codeslubber]

@Ian Warwick of course I figured that out? but once it’s in there, the code no longer compiles…

[Ian Warwick]

ah what happens? I have one usage and its working

[codeslubber]

and guess what it was working for me before too! but as the video shows the minute it’s in there, the compiler fails trying to generate code…

[Ian Warwick]

ah 😞

[Ian Warwick]

This seems to work here though not sure how its different

Text(text = "Hello", style = MaterialTheme.typography().h3)

[codeslubber]

that didn’t work for me either! I tried that

[codeslubber]

wait the movie is useless cause you cannot see the error

[codeslubber]

lemme just put the error on this thread

[Ian Warwick]

cool

[codeslubber]

how can it be in 2020 that I cannot copy and paste a compiler error????

[codeslubber]

@Ian Warwick do you know where the log is? it says see the log..

[Ian Warwick]

aha is it on the Build pane in AS?

[Ian Warwick]

compile error would usually spit out the build log there

[codeslubber]

Found it:

<http://java.io|java.io>.IOException: '/Users/robwilliams/Documents/workspaces/android/suntimerandroid/.idea/codeStyles' is not a directory in VFS

so for whatever reason I guess the directory it thought it setup for putting theme style info is not there

[codeslubber]

it gave me the option to report it to google which I did, so I guess something went wrong in the setup of the project

[Ian Warwick]

yeh that is odd I am not sure its related since, its just AS failing to find a codeStyles inside the .idea folder 🤔

[Ian Warwick]

I wonder if just deleting all .idea files and reimporting your project into AS will fix it

[codeslubber]

lemme pull the other error out

[Ian Warwick]

specially with canary builds sometimes projects can get corrupted idea metadata

[codeslubber]

the reason I was asking for the log file

[codeslubber]

is it says see the log, in addition to putting an error in the build window

[codeslubber]

[codeslubber]

the backend internal error is very long and that’s the one I was trying to figure out how to copy/paste

[codeslubber]

[Adam Powell]

sometimes highlighting a higher node in that error tree display will format it so that it can be read more easily

[codeslubber]

yeah nope

[Adam Powell]

I might have missed it above, but can you post the code surrounding the call that's giving you problems?

[Adam Powell]

If possible, the whole function and containing class, if there is one.

[codeslubber]

//            Text(text = timerState.value.currentStatus, style = TextStyle(fontSize = 36.sp))
            Text(text = timerState.value.currentStatus, style = MaterialTheme.typography().h3)

[codeslubber]

the first line works, the commented one, the second makes code generation fail

[codeslubber]

despite the fact that I did it in at least 4 or 5 other projects in prior releases

[Ian Warwick]

I have no idea here though hit this one before, the compiler plugin got updated for dev05, might be worth checking over gradle config if not done so already

[Louis Pullen-Freilich [G]]

@codeslubber would you mind filing a bug to Android Studio for the auto-completion issue?

[codeslubber]

sure

[Louis Pullen-Freilich [G]]

If you link the bug once filed here, I can reassign accordingly

[codeslubber]

should I be running the new release? I am still running dev05 out of Canary 9

[codeslubber]

?

[codeslubber]

also where is the Submit a bug now?? I thought it was under Help…

[Louis Pullen-Freilich [G]]

No, that's fine, just a report with the gif you uploaded with the version of Studio you are running would be helpful

[Louis Pullen-Freilich [G]]

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=192708&template=840533

Not sure where the in Studio button is 🙂

[codeslubber]

so I made this from the project template, so all the defaults there

[codeslubber]

however, the IDE suggested updating the gradle plugin then once I did that I got that error that the wrapper’s version was too old, so I updated that too

[codeslubber]

(that has happened before…)

[codeslubber]

holy crap I clicked on ‘Use the new UI’ !!! looks SO MUCH BETTER!! yay

[Louis Pullen-Freilich [G]]

Thanks for filing! Would you mind attaching the gif there?

[codeslubber]

ok just because I am an incurable complainer, jesus christ there must be a better way!! all IDEs should have ways to record sessions and then use an excerpt to report an issue

[codeslubber]

ok done

[Kazemihabib1996]

I solved code generation error by adding
composeOptions {
kotlinCompilerVersion "1.3.61-dev-withExperimentalGoogleExtensions-20200129"
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion "0.1.0-dev05"
} in app build.gradle

[Kazemihabib1996]

I got that from compoe-samples branch dev05 https://github.com/android/compose-samples/commit/b3551092e8e9e0bc3aac6d2050f73e43eadd4c96

[codeslubber]

@Kazemihabib1996 yeah that’s what I said on the thread: adding the options?

[Kazemihabib1996]

yeah, by adding those composeOptions.
