Can I have more than one common artifacts build from one MPP project?

[Kris Wong]

what do you mean by common artifact?

[Robert Jaros]

jar artifact published on maven/bintray, containing metadata from common sources

[Kris Wong]

so you want multiple JVM targets?

[Robert Jaros]

multiple js + multiple jvm targets

[Robert Jaros]

i'm using currently old mpp project structure with gradle subprojects

[Robert Jaros]

I'm trying to migrate to new mpp with multiple sourcesets

[Kris Wong]

yes, you can do that

[Robert Jaros]

any example how to do this?

[Kris Wong]

jvm("target-1")
jvm("target-2")

[Robert Jaros]

i have something like this, but it doesn't create common artifacts

[Robert Jaros]

jvm artifacts (and js too) are created ok

[Robert Jaros]

but I don't know how can i configure commons

[Robert Jaros]

only one *-metadata-*.jar is build and it's empty

[Kris Wong]

i'm still not sure what you mean by common artifacts. are you referring to the artifact for gradle metadata?

[Nick Halase]

@Robert Jaros are you referring to "building universal frameworks" from this document? https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/building-mpp-with-gradle.html#publishing-a-multiplatform-library

[Robert Jaros]

no, I'm not using K/N

[Robert Jaros]

I don't know if I understand this correctly, but perhaps I don't need common artifacts at all if I use experimental gradle metadata publishing mode?

[Kris Wong]

let me ask this - what do you expect to be included in a "common" artifact?

[Robert Jaros]

currently it contains some *.kotlin_metadata files

[Robert Jaros]

I've got these three artifacts now

[Robert Jaros]

But I'm not really sure what are they used for ;-)

[Kris Wong]

those are not necessary, unless you have some specific reason for them

[Kris Wong]

you will typically have 1 artifact per target (or maybe one per build variant), along with 2 artifacts for gradle metadata

[Robert Jaros]

ok, thx - I'll just try to ignore this and continue the migration - soon I'll be able to test app compilation so I'll know if it works
