kapt still can't be used together with compose? I tried 0.1.0-dev04 still gets

e: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.jetbrains.kotlin.codegen.state.GenerationState$Builder.isIrBackend(Z)Lorg/jetbrains/kotlin/codegen/state/GenerationState$Builder;

I've already had

kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion "0.1.0-dev04"

adding

kotlinCompilerVersion "1.3.61-dev-withExperimentalGoogleExtensions-20200129"

ended up in even more cryptic compiler error

[jim]

What was the even more cryptic compiler error?

[Mate]

Caused by: java.lang.AssertionError: Unexpected IR element found during code generation. Either code generation for it is not implemented, or it should have been lowered: FUNCTION_REFERENCE 'private final fun onInject$lambda-0 ($this$onInject: org.foxglove.profile.ui.fragment.EditProfileFragment, it: android.text.Editable?): kotlin.Unit declared in org.foxglove.profile.ui.fragment.EditProfileFragment' type=kotlin.Function1<android.text.Editable?, kotlin.Unit> origin=LAMBDA

I don't think it is even kapt or compose that fails

[Mate]

If I comment out the said method it fails at other place with similar error

[jim]

Hmm, yeah, I assume none of the mentioned classes/packages is Compose related? That error looks like it might be a bug in the IR backend, which is still experimental/incomplete, but either way it looks like a legitimate bug. If you're able to reduce the offending code to a minimal repo, we can file a bug against the IR backend to have it investigated further.

As a workaround, if you can move that code into a non-compose package (assuming it is not related to Compose), you can turn off the IR backend in that package, and depend on it from your compose widgets.

thanks I'll try to break it down what causes the error and extract a minimal project for showcase

[Mate]

Till then I'll use kapt and compose in different modules

[jim]

👍

[Mate]

I could locate two kinds of error in my code (I'll create the sample project of that) but good news is getting rid of that kapt and compose worked together 🙂

Here you can find the project and in the activity two different blocks of code that ends up in build failure

[jim]

The first code block is related to coroutines, which are known to be incomplete. The second code block is more interesting, digging into it now. Thanks for posting!
