I'd like to generate some code for commonMain in a multiplatform project, is this supported? Because I only see the following configurations

configuration ':ksp'

configuration ':kspJvm'

configuration ':kspJvmTest'

configuration ':kspMetadata'

configuration ':kspNative'

configuration ':kspNativeTest'

You can use kspMetadata to generate code in commonMain.

However it doesn't setup the compile tasks, I think evant posted a workaround in one of the issues

thanks all for your tips and help 🙂

I still don't have the nice Idea resolution though (generated code appears unresolved -red- but compilations succedes), did you manage to get it working?

[Grégory Lureau]

Works good for me (when the entire project is building at least). Also I've an additional line in the build.gradle config for Idea:

val commonMain by getting {
    kotlin.srcDir("build/generated/ksp/commonMain/kotlin")
}

[elect]

yeah, I just noticed after I cleaned and rebuilt once again

also, you can write also simply tasks.withType<KotlinCompile<*>> instead tasks.withType<KotlinCompile<*>>().all

[Paul Woitaschek]

That's my configure block:

dependencies {
  add("kspMetadata", project(":processor:codegen"))
  add("kspMetadata", project(":processor:swiftgen"))
}
// workaround for <https://github.com/google/ksp/issues/567>
kotlin.sourceSets.commonMain {
  kotlin.srcDir("build/generated/ksp/commonMain/kotlin")
}
// workaround for <https://github.com/google/ksp/issues/567>
tasks.withType<org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.dsl.KotlinCompile<*>>().all {
  if (name != "kspKotlinMetadata") {
    dependsOn("kspKotlinMetadata")
  }
}

[Paul Woitaschek]

But it's bad because the .all kills lazy task configuration

[elect]

do we want lazy cfg in there?

[Paul Woitaschek]

It won't work
