Hello everyone. Is it possible to run the tests inside commonTest without any jvm or other module? If I try to run gradle check I get the following error:

> Task :compileKotlinJvm 

e: ...: Unresolved reference: Json

Where Json is imported as

import kotlinx.serialization.json.Json

And my dependencies are the following:

kotlin.sourceSets {
    commonMain.dependencies {
        api "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-runtime-common:$serialization_version"
    }
}

Since there is no kotlin vm yet what is the problem with running it on the jvm ?

[Riccardo Montagnin]

I just wanted to create a pure multiplatform project and found no guide on how to set up common modules to run on the JVM. Also, as you can see here, the commonMain module has all the dependencies, but running the tests on the JVM does not seem to see them

[spand]

You still need to include the jvm version (kotlinx-serialization-runtime) as a jvm dependency

Thank you, missed that out

Conceptually common modules don't exist outside of a platform. They don't exist on their own even if they don't use any expect/actual classes.
