Are there any examples of a multiplatform project in which a task generates .kt files that are placed in a separate sourceset? I run into problems with implicit dependencies and can't figure out how to go about this.

Any more details on what you're looking for? Sqldelight generates kt

I currently have this https://github.com/openrndr/openrndr/blob/master/openrndr-filter/build.gradle.kts . In buildSrc I have a task embedShaders that turns glsl into .kt files. I create a shaderKotlin sourceset on which the main sourceset depends. This part works. The thing that breaks for me is to have shaderKotlin 's files be created by embedShaders as part of the build. I have added task dependencies but those trigger Gradle to detect implicit dependencies on files generated by embedShaders

I think this could work if you call srcDir() with a provider from your code generating class that carries its task dependency:

val shaderKotlin by creating {
            this.kotlin.srcDir(embedShaders.flatMap { it.outputDir })
        }

@mbonnin the flatMap is not needed but setting the srcDir to embedShaders.outputDir seems to do the trick. So simple in the end 🙂

Thank you so much
