A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

does `const val`  inside `object`  is known to have cache problems with builds? I'm having some with them, where defining them once seems to create some difficulties to alter (some string, for example) later. Or is it some android studio problem (and not a kotlin one)?

`const` means the value is inlined on all callsite. If you edit the value, all downstream projects have to be recompiled to use it.

If the `const val` is `private` or `internal` it shouldn't, but I haven't checked

In theory, I am recompiling it (I guess rebuilding the project counts as recompiling it). But I'm gonna double check it next time. And yes, it is a private field

If it's private, I think this should be raised to the Kotlin team :thinking_face:

I see, I'm gonna send them the issue next time it happens. I'm on the pain of cleaning up my gradle folders
