Hey guys, probably a dumb question here, but, can I use intellij IDEA while testing with kotlin.test? Seems like IDEA doesn’t see annotations (@Test) declaration there. Is it possible to make it work so?

[Vlad Drahnea]

And generally speaking, is IDEA koltin/native support officially planned?

[gildor]

You cannot. Idea doesn’t support K/N for now

[gildor]

But some sort of support is planned (not clear for now what it will be, a separate K/N plugin, new IDE etc)

[Vlad Drahnea]

mb you’re aware, what’s the current best way to develop a mobile multiplatform project? Using CLion for k/n (iOS part) and Android Studio/Gradle for Android respectively?

[gildor]

There is no perfect solution.
For Android is of course Idea/AS + Gradle

[gildor]

For iOS there are too many not completed peaces:
Most supported build tool for K/N is Gradle

CLion works only with CMake, not with Gradle. And it’s the only option if you need native debugging, testing and code completion (Idea support only basic code completion). But CMake is just temporary solution and will be deprecated:
See https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C3SGXARS6/p1522945349000764

Idea/AS works with Gradle, but not with CMake and don’t have any support of native development

[gildor]

Also don’t forget about AppCode, that is the only Intellij IDE that supports iOS directly but also no support of Kotlin yet. But already (unofficially) announced, see link above

[gildor]

so I believe eventually JB will provide some integrated solution, for now the only choice to use multiple tools
