Is there an easy way to publish the sources of a MPP project for Android? The sources are available in IntelliJ when using the iOS lib but not when using the Android one

[ribesg]

I don’t know much about this kind of thing, do I need to publish the sources twice for -android and android-debug? How does the IDE decides what it uses?

[ribesg]

Should I include the sources in -android-debug instead? Is that even possible?

In Splitties, the sources are automatically published and available from the IDE for the Android modules.

[ribesg]

Well I just see that I don’t have them and I want to change that, that’s all. I don’t see anything specific about sources in Splitties’ build process

[louiscad]

Can you see common sources? And Android sources?

[ribesg]

Neither. I managed to create a sources artifact. I didn’t test to see if the IDE can see it, but I already encounter a problem: I can’t have both common and android sources in one sources jar, as they override each over (Because of expect and actual).

[ribesg]

Here’s my current code:```val androidSources = tasks.create<Jar>("androidSources") {
archiveClassifier.set("sources")
from(kotlin.sourceSets.getByName("commonMain").kotlin.srcDirs)
from(kotlin.sourceSets.getByName("androidMain").kotlin.srcDirs)
}

publishing {
publications {
create<MavenPublication>("androidSources") {
artifactId = "${project.name}-android-sources"
artifact(androidSources)
}
}
}```

[ribesg]

I guess I should publish 2 artifacts but I doubt the IDE will see them.

EDIT: So the IDE does not see the artifact produced there.

I found an interesting example https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/blob/master/build.gradle#L126-L137

[ribesg]

So I think I’ve got a sources artifact with acceptable content (just need to make sure I’m not having additional code in files that contain `expect`/`actual`) but I don’t see it in IDEA

[ribesg]

When looking at a .class of one of my libs, there’s the Download Sources option available, but it does nothing

[louiscad]

Maybe report it on kotl.in/issue with Kotlin version and IDE info? And link it here of course

[ribesg]

I’ve been trying to see if I could reproduce it with an existing Android library built as part of a MPP project, but I can’t find any
