Hey all. Is there a way to publish the artifacts generated from commonMain to Maven? And if so, should I be actually uploading the artifacts from commonMain to Maven? I might be thinking about this incorrectly, but if, for example, someone were to make a separate multiplatform project and wanted to call methods in their common code from my multiplatform project's common code. Is there a different way they should be doing this other than to have a dependency on my project's common code?

Check these out:

well first, the artifact you'd be uploading would be called metadata, not common. second, yes, you should

[Shan]

ooh, that's what the metadata bit is for! so I just call it with the val metadata by getting {} format within publications block?

[serebit]

yeah, the artifact produced from the common source set is called metadata. there's a reason for that, but it's not explained very well in the docs. you can access it like that, yes

[pardom]

Eh, probably want to use commonMain and commonTest, but yes val target by getting {}

[serebit]

@pardom the source sets are called commonMain and commonTest, the artifact is called metadata

[Shan]

^ that was what was confusing to me. project can find the publication fine now 🙂 thanks!

[pardom]

Ah, I missed the publications part of her question and assumed she was working in sourceSets.

BTW, that script I posted will publish metadata to foo and foo-metadata
