first time working with apollo kotlin. trying to add apollo-kotlin to a new module i created. when i sync i get this error. Am I missing something fundamental here?

Edit: fairly certain something is either wrong with apollo-kotlin or maven central?

[ephemient]

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

?

[ephemient]

hmm, although I'm not sure how you'd get apollo-runtime without central

[Colton Idle]

yeah my root build.gradle.kts has this

[Colton Idle]

whats interesting is the error message says :apollo-lib:test:

[Colton Idle]

but the name of my module is apollo-lib

[Colton Idle]

and theres no test directory or anything

[Colton Idle]

actually. its two error messages. the second one is identical except its :apollo-lib:main:

[Colton Idle]

seems like it happens in a brand new project as well. hm. anyone think that maybe mavenCentral is down or something?

[ephemient]

hmm. 3.9.3 doesn't seem to exist on central, plenty of earlier and later versions though

[Colton Idle]

Weird. I tried

configurations.all {
  resolutionStrategy {
    force("com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:4.10.0")
  }
}

and that didn't work either

[Colton Idle]

does look like 4.9.3 is on mavencentral for okhttp
https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.squareup.okhttp3/okhttp/4.9.3/jar

[ephemient]

oh I see it listed on https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.squareup.okhttp3/okhttp, it wasn't showing up for me earlier. strange.

[Colton Idle]

any ideas on what i can do to debug? this is killin me. tried it in two projects + a greenfield project. still no dice.

[Colton Idle]

can't be just me... can it?

[bod]

👀 Odd! Let me see if I can repro.

[bod]

nope, can't repro (on this most basic project)

[bod]

gradle didn't let me use sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7 though, I wonder if it could be related

[bod]

maybe more logs could enlighten us 🙂 (./gradlew -i --stacktrace assemble)

[Colton Idle]

Updated from 1_7 to 11 and everything seems to work now?

[Colton Idle]

🤯

[Colton Idle]

im not even on latest agp alpha or anything that forces java 11. but i guess that was the culprit

[bod]

Thanks for reporting back!

[Colton Idle]

Going back down to 1_7 repros the issue. 1_8 and 11 work.

[Colton Idle]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Colton Idle]

thank you all. i was going to miss my deadlines because of this lol

[bod]

Haha well thanks for reaching out!

[ephemient]

1.7 was not a particularly useful target anyway: Kotlin skipped from generating 1.6 bytecode to 1.8, and there's pretty much no reason to have a lower target now

[ephemient]

I guess Gradle was like "there's no okhttp artifacts available to this project because they require 1.8+, but I'm not gonna tell you that directly"

[Colton Idle]

yeah. maybe worth calling out in the docs

[Colton Idle]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
