Getting this cryptic error when trying to build with kotlin 1.8.0 and CfW 1.3.0-rc2

> Task :compileKotlinJs FAILED
e: Could not find "androidx.compose.runtime:runtime" in [/home/user/.local/share/kotlin/daemon]
e: java.lang.IllegalStateException: FATAL ERROR: Could not find "androidx.compose.runtime:runtime" in [/home/user/.local/share/kotlin/daemon]
        at org.jetbrains.kotlin.ir.backend.js.KlibKt$resolverLogger$1.fatal(klib.kt:101)

Any tips?

[hfhbd]

Do you apply the compiler plugin without the runtime as dependency?

[Big Chungus]

I apply both

[Big Chungus]

Well gradle plugin and runtime dependency to my jsMain sourceSet

[hfhbd]

Oh, I tried it with my demo app too and I get the same error, nice 😄

[Big Chungus]

Oh boy! Some of my other CfW projects build just fine with the same combo though

[hfhbd]

Yeah, some simple projects work fine too, but not my multi module one...

[hfhbd]

Do you want to create the issue?

[Big Chungus]

Not really sure what to report other than what's in this thread. But I'll raise one for other to contribute their war stories.

[Big Chungus]

Unless you want to do the honours or have more details 😄

[hfhbd]

I don't have more details (yet) 😄

[Oleksandr Karpovich [JB]]

Could you please check if you have some libraries compiled with earlier kotlin versions? I remember such a message from cases when there were dependencies compiled with older kotlin
_

I see more info in the issue.

[hfhbd]

@Oleksandr Karpovich [JB] Yeah, this was the reason. But are any plans to make them binary compatible?

[Oleksandr Karpovich [JB]]

Unfortunately, it's not about compose. It's about compatibility in k/js or klib.

[Big Chungus]

At the very least it would be good to have more informative error message

[hfhbd]

Isn't klib stable since 1.80? Or "only" js ir?

[Oleksandr Karpovich [JB]]

I'll ask around about the plans to make it compatible across versions

[rocketraman]

I ran into this problem on a prior upgrade as well, and it took quite some time to figure out. Would definitely love better error messaging at the very least.

[rocketraman]

Running into this problem again on upgrading to 1.8.10, with uuid --

e: Could not find "uuid" in [/home/raman/.local/share/kotlin/daemon]
e: java.lang.IllegalStateException: FATAL ERROR: Could not find "uuid" in [/home/raman/.local/share/kotlin/daemon]

Now to find which library is causing this problem...

[rocketraman]

Pretty sure its the uuid function from routing-compose @hfhbd

[rocketraman]

Nope, a local build from main which is compiled with 1.8.10 and compose 1.3.0 still doesn't work

[rocketraman]

Pretty sure its ballast-debugger. So Kotlin/JS doesn't provide the standard Kotlin "2 major version" compat guarantee?

[hfhbd]

Still broken?
But yeah, klib is not stable and it is a little bit annoying.

[rocketraman]

Yeah, the problematic library wasn't critical to me so I just removed it from my project. But just finding out which library it is is annoying. The best way seems to be commenting out libraries in the build until the error goes away.

[hfhbd]

Just write everything yourself, easier to blame 😄

[mike.holler]

Is there a YouTrack issue for this? I could not find anything.

Thank you @hfhbd!
