I have an Android app (regular kotlin-android; not multiplatform) that is using the org.jetbrains.compose plugin and the Jetbrains compose artifacts (which should redirect to the Google artifacts).

I started writing some tests for it, but the compose artifacts aren't visible in the test code. For example, if I have implementation(compose.material), android.compose.material.Text doesn't resolve in a test file in the IDE, even though it runs fine. Adding testImplementation(compose.material) doesn't work either. I have to explicitly depend on the Google artifacts in order for the IDE to resolve the type.

I'm using Electric Eel latest alpha.

I suspect jb compose adds google deps as implementation as opposed to api as not to pollute CfD project namespaces

Which would explain why it still plays nice with google compose, but doesn't surface their dependencies for you.

I thought that testImplementation includes all dependencies from implementation? So it shouldn't need to be api.

In any case, the issue is that the types don't resolve even when there's an explicit testImplementation dependency on the Jetbrains compose artifacts.

I'm assuming the issue is with the redirecting to the Google artifacts for test configurations, or an issue with Gradle metadata.

That's true. I meant jb library itself does not expose androidx artefacts as transitive dependencies
