Hi all - Having issues with setting up desktop-compose in my project. As soon as i add any compose dependencies, my commonMain source set gets excluded from the build. I’m using AS Arctic fox 2020.3.1 with jetbrains compose 0.4.0-build179

Try to remove compose.desktop.currentOs from commonMain

It is desktop-only and should be used only in desktopMain

the issue still seems to be there unfortunately 😕 Here’s how my full build script looks like

search_build_gradle_kts.kt

This is my root build.gradle.kts

build_gradle_kts.kt

welp, im stumped. spent 3 hrs downgrading my gradle from 7.0 down to 4.0.1 to match example projects but this behaviour is still there

Try to open this template and gradually transform it to your project. This way you can find where is the issue.

You can also try to copy common module to your project and register it in settings.gradle

thank you very much - will give that a try. I

mysteries of gradle - i followed your instruction and copy-pasta the common module over and even though it is source-wise identical to my :search module, :common compiled and build just fine. Thanks a lot @Igor Demin

well i think i’m a step closer to demystifying the mystery. it is adding ios target whats causing the error.

Look like it is a MPP plugin bug 😞

[Igor Demin]

what if you remove jvm target? just to understand if it works without it

[xxfast]

works without the jvm target

[xxfast]

the more i dig down this rabbit hole, the weirder it gets. Sometimes the same behaviour can be seen when i add new dependencies to commonMain , and I’m guessing this error in the sync log has something to do with it

Failed building KotlinMPPGradleModel
org.gradle.internal.resolve.ArtifactNotFoundException: Could not find resources-generator-0.15.1-samplessources.jar (dev.icerock.moko:resources-generator:0.15.1).

[xxfast]

found this issue that tells me that this could be because the library itself doesn’t support all targets

[xxfast]

i’m assuming that was the ultimate cause - because i addded ios() and one or more dependent libraries doesn’t support that target

[xxfast]

There’s already another issue to improve the error message here, so i dont have to create another one 🙂

Thanks @Igor Demin 🙏
