How would I specify a different name for commonMain in a mpp gradle file?

[basher]

You can add other directories to the commonMain source set. Is that what you mean? https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/building-mpp-with-gradle.html#configuring-source-sets

[basher]

And then you can skip using the folder named commonMain and use the extra one you added, if that's the goal

Is it possible to add an extra one in this way that contains a dash between words? I can write

val coreCommon by creating { }

but would prefer core-common to be the directory name.

[Shan]

In this case could I just skip setting up commonMain in the build file and it would not generate the directory?

[basher]

Could try `val core-common by creating` if the issue is kotlin not liking the hyphen

[basher]

Right I don't think it'll generate the directory. Should be able to skip

[Shan]

I suppose it's not that much difference if I can set the artifact name to core-common in the end. Having other build issues right now with trying to add an android library, so I'll see if it skips the commonMain directory once I'm able to build. 🙂 Thanks
