Also, if you’re on Kotlin 1.4 it won’t work right now. I’ll release a new version later today.
Due to how ktfmt loads the AST viewer, you also need to be on Gradle 6.8+ to make everything work 😓

This is the problem you talked about?

Execution failed for task ':app:ktfmtFormatMainJavaSource'.
> class com.facebook.ktfmt.KotlinInputAstVisitor overrides final method org.jetbrains.kotlin.psi.KtVisitorVoid.visitCollectionLiteralExpression(Lorg/jetbrains/kotlin/psi/KtCollectionLiteralExpression;Ljava/lang/Void;)Ljava/lang/Void;

yeah, that happens if you try to format Kotlin 1.4.x code with the version 0.1.0 of the plugin.

[Javier]

The fix will be for 1.4.0 but Gradle 6.8 will be a requirement too?

[gammax]

Gradle 6.8 will be a requirement too?

As of today, yes. Gradle is embedding Kotlin 1.3.x in versions 6.7.x and below.
They bumped the embedded Kotlin to 1.4.x on 6.8.x.

[gammax]

Hopefully 6.8 will be released stable asap. Now they’re at -rc3

[Javier]

Yeah, no problem, is for updating some projects :)

[gammax]

Ideally, ktfmt should allow to inject the desired Kotlin version.

[Javier]

Yep

[Javier]

This problem will appear when Kotlin 1.5 is released and ktfmt starts to use it? Gradle takes months before releasing 1.4 support, this can be a problem if they keep this slow sync with Kotlin releases 🤔

[gammax]

It’s definitely a problem with the Gradle ecosystem: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/12660
