Hello
I am trying to use "org.jetbrains.compose.components:components-resources:1.3.1-rc01" to load images images via compose in common module, but the images are not loaded. More info in the thread.

I added the file logo.jpg in resoures dir of commonMain.

So, in code I added :

Image(
    bitmap = resource("logo.jpg").rememberImageBitmap().orEmpty(),
    contentDescription = null
)
Image(
    painter = painterResource("logo.jpg"),
    contentDescription = null
)

[Francis Mariano]

The first Image() is not load the image and the second Image() crash the app with the following message:
Caused by: org.jetbrains.compose.resources.MissingResourceException: Missing resource with path: logo.jpg

The resource is missing. What is the right path to put the resources???

Unfortunately common resources aren't automatically added to binary compilations. I've had to use a combination of symlinking for Android and Gradle copy tasks for JVM and native targets to copy common resources to the required bundle or runtime paths.

[Francis Mariano]

you can add the following instead of:
android {
sourceSets["main"].resources.srcDir("src/commonMain/resources")
}

[Jeff Lockhart]

When I tried adding the common resources directory as a resource directory for the other source sets, IntelliJ or Android Studio throws a "duplicate content roots detected" error and removes it from the other source sets. This solution might work from the terminal, but not in the IDE, which is why I resorted to symlinking instead, as this causes the directory to appear as a unique path. There are several YouTrack issues about this error, but unfortunately it's a behavior that's deeply relied on for IDE functionality.

hmmmmm...here worked fine, but I have been tested just in android

[Jeff Lockhart]

Android is your only source set?

[Francis Mariano]

no, I have android and ios, but I tested just in android

[Francis Mariano]

sourceSets["main"].resources.srcDir("src/commonMain/resources")
if different of:
sourceSets["main"].res.srcDirs("src/androidMain/res", "src/commonMain/resources")

[Francis Mariano]

resources != res

[Francis Mariano]

so you need add the resources directory for the library work properly

[Jeff Lockhart]

Maybe that one case might work because of the difference between resources and res in Android? In my case I ended up symlinking src/commonMain/resources to src/androidMain/resources/assets, as I consume the common resources as Android assets in my Android actual implementations.
