Hello all, I've been hacking on GTK bindings for Kotlin Native this holiday period as a way to deep-dive in both KN and GTK/GNOME and it has been a great experience. One of the things I'm currently looking at is how I can include my KDoc documentation in the published libraries using Gradle (publish to mavenLocal for now). Is this supported?

[Big Chungus]

Klibs come with kdoc embedded so you don't need to do anything extra

[Big Chungus]

Out of curiosity, are you using gir to generate bindings or just wrapping stuff manually?

[vbsteven]

I was looking into it more right now and it seems the sources jars are available in my ~/.m2 repository. But IntelliJ doesn't seem to pick them up when including the library in another project.

[vbsteven]

No I'm not using gir, it's mostly manual now because I'm experimenting a lot and using it as a way to learn about gobject/glib etc.

[Big Chungus]

Did you add mavenLocal repo on the consumer project?

[vbsteven]

yes, and including/using the library in the consumer project works fine.

[Big Chungus]

Also you might need to publish sources jar as well for klib kdocs to work

[vbsteven]

I was looking into that right now based on the ktor repository, since those seem to work.

[Big Chungus]

Keep in mind that maven local has a lot of edge cases when compared to real repo

[Big Chungus]

I'd suggest spinning up local maven server instead or just using gradle's included builds

[vbsteven]

I'll have a look. thanks

[Big Chungus]

Good luck

After setting up artifactory for testing it seems to work fine. So my original issues were most likely due to mavenLocal

I've experienced the same issue with kdocs as well as viewing source not working with maven local dependencies. My understanding is these are bugs specific to maven local.
