Has anyone seen an error like this before This only occurs on GitHub Actions it works fine locally sample failing build <https github com kotest kotest runs 7494593098 check suite focus=true step 5 53> ```Could not determine the dependencies of task kotest framework kotest framework multiplatform plugin gradle test gt Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration kotest framework kotest framework multiplatform plugin gradle testRuntimeClasspath gt Could not resolve project kotest assertions kotest assertions core Required by project kotest framework kotest framework multiplatform plugin gradle gt The consumer was configured to find a runtime of a library compatible with Java 8 packaged as a jar preferably optimized for standard JVMs and its dependencies declared externally as well as attribute org jetbrains kotlin platform type with value jvm However we cannot choose between the following variants of project kotest assertions kotest assertions core jvmRuntimeElements runtimeElements``` full error in thread

A similar error is generated for each project the `kotest framework multiplatform plugin gradle` project references

charleskorn · Answer

Full error for a single project reference

A wild guess would be that you maybe locally use a different Java version and because of that have different results If so you should consider using JVM toolchains feature to mitigate that And if you can maybe update to Gradle 7 5 the output for such errors greatly improved iirc

Interestingly I get a similar error locally if I try to use `includeBuild` to include the Kotest project into another project

gt A wild guess would be that you maybe locally use a different Java version and because of that have different results If so you should consider using JVM toolchains feature to mitigate that You might be on to something here the build on GitHub Actions is using Java 8 whereas I have Java 18 installed locally But this doesn t explain the behaviour with `includeBuild` locally gt And if you can maybe update to Gradle 7 5 the output for such errors greatly improved iirc Just tried this the output is the same either way The Gradle release notes seem to suggest the improvements are for tasks such as `dependencyInsight` ~but I don t get output matching the example in the release notes~ thinking face Looks like the improved output is only shown when dependencies can be resolved successfully not when a failure occurs

Running ` gradlew kotest framework kotest framework multiplatform plugin gradle dependencyInsight configuration testRuntimeClasspath dependency kotest assertions kotest assertions core` locally shows that Gradle is selecting `jvmRuntimeElements`

Your suggestion about the JVM versions was the clue I needed turned out the Gradle plugin project had Java version compatibility configured in its `build gradle kts` ```java sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion VERSION 1 8 targetCompatibility = JavaVersion VERSION 1 8 ``` and the projects it was trying to consume did not have the same configuration Adding that same `java ` block to their Gradle config was enough to fix the issue Thanks for your help < Vampire>

gt Looks like the improved output is only shown when dependencies can be resolved successfully not when a failure occurs Oh bad disappointed Then it was probably more hope that it improved too sorry
