# multiplatform

Hey all, new to Kotlin, come from a js background. Playing with https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-full-stack-application-demo, HMR fails. It looks like PROJECT_ROOT/build/js/packages/kotlin-full-stack-application-demo-client/kotlin/kotlin-full-stack-application-demo-client.js gets deleted during compileKotlinJs task which causes HMR to fail out with Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open . I'm trying to wrap my head around the config and it seems I need to have the task ``compileKotlinJs`` not clear the folder and just overwrite the content, but I'm not quite sure how, or if that's the correct solution.

It looks like https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-32273, but it should work fine with 1.4.0

I see, thanks for pointing that out.

[Logan Knight]

It doesn't FWIW

[Logan Knight]

plugins {
    kotlin("multiplatform") version "1.4.0" apply false
    kotlin("plugin.serialization") version "1.4.0" apply false
}

You can try with legacy compiler backend

[Robert Jaros]

the repo is set for IR, which is not stable

[Robert Jaros]

try setting kotlin.js.compiler=legacy in gradle.properties

[Logan Knight]

That works. Thank you!
