Whoever decided to have both Flow{ fun collect() } and Flow.collect (an extension function) needs to have a stern talking to.

[Alexander Maryanovsky]

I have IntelliJ telling me import kotlinx.coroutines.flow.collect is unused, and when I remove it, it tries to use the regular function, which the compiler doesn’t like.

[Alexander Maryanovsky]

and it’s always fun trying to import it

Perhaps something is wrong with your setup, as .collect {} is usable in 1.6+ without an extension, and .collect() requires an extension in all versions

[Alexander Maryanovsky]

I'm using compose 1.1.1 which is kotlin 1.5 if I’m not mistaken.

[ephemient]

what matters is kotlinx.coroutines version, not kotlin version

[Alexander Maryanovsky]

Clearing the cache solved the IntelliJ problem, btw.

[ephemient]

but if you are seeing inconsistency between your ide and your compiler, they probably disagree on what version you're using

[Alexander Maryanovsky]

Doesn't IntelliJ take all the info from gradle?

[ephemient]

it should, but clearly something went wrong in your case

Also, I didn’t add kotlinx.coroutines as a dependency, I’m just using the one brought in by

implementation(compose.desktop.currentOs)
