Cannot use Kotlin 1.7.10 - kotlin

Question

I have a Kotlin project in IntelliJ IDEA (not targeting Android) that currently compiles fine with Kotlin 1.6.10. When I change to 1.7.10, I get the following errors:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'jwotd'.
> Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration ':classpath'.
> Could not resolve org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.7.0.

project :
> The consumer was configured to find a runtime of a component compatible with Java 8, packaged as a jar, and its dependencies declared externally. However we cannot choose between the following variants of org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.7.0:
- gradle70JavadocElements
- gradle70RuntimeElements
- gradle70SourcesElements
- javadocElements
- runtimeElements
- sourcesElements
All of them match the consumer attributes:
- Variant 'gradle70JavadocElements' capability org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.7.0 declares a runtime of a component, and its dependencies declared externally:
- Unmatched attributes:
- Provides documentation but the consumer didn't ask for it
- Provides javadocs but the consumer didn't ask for it
- Doesn't say anything about its target Java version (required compatibility with Java 8)
- Doesn't say anything about its elements (required them packaged as a jar)
- Provides attribute 'org.gradle.plugin.api-version' with value '7.0' but the consumer didn't ask for it
- Provides release status but the consumer didn't ask for it
- Variant 'gradle70RuntimeElements' capability org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.7.0 declares a runtime of a component compatible with Java 8, packaged as a jar, and its dependencies declared externally:
- Unmatched attributes:
- Provides a library but the consumer didn't ask for it
- Provides attribute 'org.gradle.jvm.environment' with value 'standard-jvm' but the consumer didn't ask for it
- Provides attribute 'org.gradle.plugin.api-version' with value '7.0' but the consumer didn't ask for it
- Provides release status but the consumer didn't ask for it
- Provides attribute 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.platform.type' with value 'jvm' but the consumer didn't ask for it

- Unmatched attributes:
- Provides documentation but the consumer didn't ask for it
- Provides javadocs but the consumer didn't ask for it

- Provides release status but the consumer didn't ask for it
The following variants were also considered but didn't match the requested attributes:
- Variant 'apiElements' capability org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.7.0 declares a component compatible with Java 8, packaged as a jar, and its dependencies declared externally:
- Incompatible because this component declares an API of a component and the consumer needed a runtime of a component
- Variant 'gradle70ApiElements' capability org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.7.0 declares a component compatible with Java 8, packaged as a jar, and its dependencies declared externally:
- Incompatible because this component declares an API of a component and the consumer needed a runtime of a component
My top-level build.gradle:
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.7.10'
repositories {
jcenter()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
mavenCentral()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
One of my project build.gradle (there are several projects, all similar):
apply plugin: 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm'
sourceSets {
main {
java.srcDirs "src/java"
}
}
java {
sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
dependencies {
api project(':cjk')
implementation project(':kokuban')
implementation platform('org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-bom')
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
implementation 'com.beust:klaxon:5.0.1'
implementation "com.oracle.database.xml:xmlparserv2:21.1.0.0"
}

Answer 1

Open your gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file and modify the gradle version to:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.3.3-all.zip

Answer 2

I had to manually upgrade gradle.
./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 7.5.1
./gradlew --version
./gradlew build
After this, gradlew builds Kotlin 1.7.10 code, and it also builds successfully in IntelliJ IDEA. Interestingly though, the IntelliJ complains about unavailable features (definitely typed T & Any), but it can compile it and it seems to work.
Feels like IntelliJ IDEA CE does not officially support Kotlin 1.7.10 yet?

Answer 3

In my case, Just replace to
classpath 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.21'
From
classpath 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.7.10'

Answer 4

https://kotlinlang.org/docs/gradle.html
When configuring your project, check the Kotlin Gradle plugin compatibility with available Gradle versions:
Kotlin 1.7.20 requires Gradle 6.7.1 as a minimum version. Kotlin 1.7.10 will do similarly.
Please check your Gradle version.

Answer 5

Invalidate Caches and Restart resolved my issue

Answer 6

This is how a freshly generated (by IDEA CE / gradle-7.4.2) build.gradle looks like
plugins {
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm' version '1.7.10'
}
group = 'org.example'
version = '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
testImplementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test'
}
test {
useJUnitPlatform()
}
compileKotlin {
kotlinOptions.jvmTarget = '1.8'
}
compileTestKotlin {
kotlinOptions.jvmTarget = '1.8'
}

Answer 7

You can try adding this in your build and gradle.
kotlinOptions {
jvmTarget = "1.8"
}
