I’m setting up my project, including both desktop and android, to run in multiple environments, but the error below occurred. How can I run my project in different environments?

org.gradle.api.InvalidUserCodeException: Only one of the JVM targets can be configured to work with Java. The target 'common' is already set up to work with Java; cannot setup another target 'dev'

You should create different modules instead of a single module

[Dragos Rachieru]

common your common module for interfaces

dev
mock
sit
uat
prod
All of these should be depending on common and implement the interfaces in their own way

[lhwdev]

Or if there is some dependency, enable mpp hierarchy(kotlin.mpp.enableGranularSourceSetsMetadata​=​true) and insert dependsOn.

Or just try to not use withJava()

[Long Tran]

@Big Chungus without withJava() only work with the desktop only project

[Big Chungus]

Really? Why? Can't you use android() and jvm() targets to separate the two ends?

[Long Tran]

I have a commonUI module that has jvm() and android() targets, and i implement the commonUI module in my desktop app. If i remove withJava() from my desktop app, it will leave the message

Unable to find Gradle tasks to build: [:desktopApp:devMain]. 
			Build mode: COMPILE_JAVA. 
			Tests: All.

and nothing happen, but withJava() made it run

[Big Chungus]

Ok, makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

@Dragos Rachieru your idea sounds great, but I don’t fully understand it yet. Do you have any sample code or any document related to it? It would be great if you can share them with me

[Dragos Rachieru]

common/src/commonMain/ExampleRepository.kt

interface ExampleRepository.kt {
  fun getExamples(): List<String>
}

dev/src/commonMain/ExampleRepositoryImpl.kt

class ExampleRepositoryImpl(
  private val devNetworkSource: NetworkSource
) : ExampleRepository {

  override fun getExamples(): List<String> = devNetworkSource.fetch()

}

mock/src/commonMain/ExampleRepositoryImpl.kt

object ExampleRepositoryMock : ExampleRepository {

  override fun getExamples(): List<String> = List(10) { "Mock $it" }

}

[Dragos Rachieru]

and in your app module you add your dependencies and decide which implementation you want to use, I don't know how to explain this further, you should learn more about dependency injection and type inference

[Dragos Rachieru]

dev/build.gradle.kts

implementation(":common")

mock/build.gradle.kts

implementation(":common")

app/build.gradle.kts

implementation(":common")
implementation(":dev")
implementation(":mock")

app/src/main/kotlin/ExampleRepositoryProvider.kt

...
fun provideExampleRepository(appType: AppType): ExampleRepository {
  return when(appType) {
    AppType.Mock -> ExampleRepositoryMock
    AppType.Dev -> ExampleRepositoryImpl(createDevNetworkSource())
  }
}
...
