I have one Gradle project which includes two sub projects:

lib

and

sample

. The library uses some dependencies (ktor for instance). They all are declared as

implementation

dependencies. My sample should simply use the

lib

as a dependency. For this i added

commonMainImplementation(project(":lib"))

But if I run my

jvm

sample (which has a

main

method) I get:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: io/ktor/client/HttpClientJvmKt

Which is strange because I do not share the

HttpClient

as a API. It is declared as

internal

and therefore it should not be shared with other libraries... To my question: Is this setup possible? How should it work then? How do I have to declare my lib dependency in the sample?

Looks like no transitive dependencies added to the claaspath so it doesn't want to work. Try to add the lib dependency to the jvm source set

I tried this as well, but without success… But why aren’t they added? I mean they are dependencies from the jvm target at my lib. So it should be added, right?
