Hello... i'm very new to multiplatform, I've tried to copy PeopleInSpace (from @John O'Reilly) here: https://github.com/alorma/Irc-Compose, but i'm receiving some errors 🧵

On desktop module, i cannot see anything from common

[alorma]

What's the problem? Any hint?

[John O'Reilly]

@alorma fwiw I cloned your repo here and was able to run the desktop client without any problem....using Arctic Fox beta4

[John O'Reilly]

oh, I guess it's not hooked up to shared code right now.....

[alorma]

yes, desktop runs, but shared code is not working :s

[John O'Reilly]

hmm, so can access shared code from app module .....

[John O'Reilly]

strange....have brought changes over such that projects are almost the same and still seeing the issue

[alorma]

Yes... weird things always happen to me xD

[alorma]

If you find a solution i will debt you a box of your fav drinks

[John O'Reilly]

I'll look another bit and see if I can spot difference but maybe worth starting again with copy of PeopleInSpace and start removing stuff then from that.....though presume that's what you probably did?

[John O'Reilly]

did PeopleInSpace work for you initially?

[alorma]

Android yes, not tried desktop

[alorma]

I copied onto my own exising project. I will try tomorrow from scratch

[solidogen]

this is rather known bug about sharing code between jvm and android

[solidogen]

currently postponed on kotlin roadmap

[solidogen]

I also have no idea how @John O'Reilly made it to work 😄

[alorma]

Sooo, if I remove all android code from common and disable it from settings.gradle.. desktop wil see the code?

[solidogen]

I know people tried commenting out android app module from settings.gradle and it worked for them, it didn’t work for me

[solidogen]

Worst case workaround is to duplicate common classes which you access in your desktop module and write a todo to remove them 😛

[alorma]

Is there any way to create a desktop project, like we do on Android? (with compose)

[John O'Reilly]

I think IntelliJ has some additional related options when creating new projects....can't remember exactly if it specifically allows that or not but I thought it did
