A platform module can only import one common module. <Issue resolved> Thanks 🙂

common modules can only depend on other common modules and platform module can depend on common with expectedBy dependency.

[krtko]

But you can only have one expectedBy import. I thought it was just for the Expect/Actual set up.

Also importing multiple common modules the normal way seems to be working

[ilya.gorbunov]

Each common module should have corresponding platform module, which declares expectedBy dependency on it. Currently it is 1-to-1 relationship (but for each platform)

[krtko]

Can a platform module import multiple common modules (all without any expect/actual classes) just fine?

[krtko]

Alright I think I finally get what you were saying.

So a platform module can only import one common module and it can only import it via expectBy

[krtko]

So can you not chain multiple common modules together? It does not look like you can.

[krtko]

Ok known limitation for now. Good to know @ilya.gorbunov Thank you

[ilya.gorbunov]

You can chain common modules together, but each common module must have a platform implementation module (even if there are no expect declarations), and platform modules must be chained respectively

[krtko]

When I do

Core (imports nothing)
Shared (imports Core)
App (imports Shared)

I get an error saying Shared is missing the Core’s classes

[krtko]

If this is a bug. I can look into it further and open a ticket?

[ilya.gorbunov]

You need to create Core-JVM for Core and add a dependency in App on Core-JVM

[krtko]

Shared has the Core dependencies? Isn’t that the same thing?

[krtko]

Or are you saying something like

Core (imports nothing, common)
Shared (imports Core, contains expect class, common)
AppDependency(imports Core and Shared, JVM)
App (expectBy AppDependency, contains actual class, JVM)

[ilya.gorbunov]

say you have A:common, B:common (depends on A:common)
then you need to have A:platform expectedBy A:common, B:platform expectedBy B:common and B:platform depends on A:platform

[krtko]

Oh

[krtko]

So every common module would need a “mock” platform module if theres no expectBy

[krtko]

Thanks for making this clear

[ilya.gorbunov]

Starting from 1.2.40 it will be possible not to have A:platform, and declare both expectedBy dependencies in B:platform

[krtko]

Awesome thanks for letting me know. So far the multiplatform set up is pretty neat. My company is building our web app with it. Thank you for your help
