How can I make a pure Kotlin/JVM Gradle module depend on the jvmMain output from another multiplatform module? Normally I’d use implementation(project(":lib")), but it doesn’t seem to be working when :lib is a multiplatform project

I’m using the Kotlin DSL by the way

I think that should work. Make sure you have enableFeaturePreview("GRADLE_METADATA") in settings.gradle.kts

After playing around with this a bit more, it seems like that does indeed work for Gradle, but Intellij doesn’t seem to like it.

There are lots of cases for more complex project structures where things look weird in Intellij but work fine from gradle. If you have a minimal example I recommend filing a bug at kotl.in/issue but unfortunately some of this is just to be expected since we’re still in the experimental/early-adopter phase with all of this.

But I’m pretty sure a vanilla project with a single multiplatform module and a single JVM consumer module works fine in IDEA right now. I’m guessing your actual project is probably more complicated than this.
