in the dokka-multimodule-example, how do childProjectA and childProjectB end up in the output directory? Are they copied there by the Dokka Gradle Plugin, or by DokkaGenerator? I found there is a ‘copyChild’ utility, but this isn’t used anywhere https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/blob/e8423ecf9f430758398eabc0d35077fff17f1f6c/runners/gradle-plugin/src/main/kotlin/org/jetbrains/dokka/gradle/DokkaMultiModuleFileLayout.kt#L51-L55C2

Hi! I think it's copied, although I don't know how or when. If you figure out - please share 🙂 What I think you can do to find out is to put breakpoints in

AllModulesPageGeneration

before/after each step, and refresh the output directory to see if the child output directories have been copied. This way you should be able to find the step that does the copying - something to get started

I think that the

dokkaMultiModule/childProjectA

and

dokkaMultiModule/childProjectB

dirs are created by the all-modules-page-plugin Dokka plugin. I don’t think that DokkaGradle does any copying, and I don’t think that DokkaGenerator directly produces the site into those sub dirs…

Yeah,

AllModulesPageGeneration

is from the all-modules-page plugin. It's invoked when the

*MultiModule

task starts working (so after all the

*Partial

tasks complete, which use the

SingleModuleGeneration

)

DokkaGenerator

just calls whatever

Generation

implementation it finds registered for the extension point, link here
