Gradle wrapper provides a welcome "zero dependency" type of approach to building. But I would like to know what dependencies are still required. Is it simply a build.gradle and nothing else?
What I'm trying to do
Not relevant, just a simple question that I can't find documentation for.

I have been wanting to find a game engine that allows me to use Kotlin. I found one that seems perfect for me. Said game engine is LittleKT. I tried to build the Gradle project and run it for JVM in Visual Studio Code. When I entered gradle build assuming the right directory, I was told by Gradle that it could not determine the dependencies of task :game:compileDebugJavaWithJavac. Here is the full error:
* What went wrong:
Could not determine the dependencies of task
':game:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
> SDK location not found. Define location with an
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT environment variable or by setting the sdk.dir
path in your project's local properties file at
'/home/saunderstock1/Kotlin-
Projects/TestProject/littlekttemplate-master/littlekttemplate-
master/local.properties'.
Does anyone know exactly what I need to do here?
I apologize for my ignorance regarding Gradle.
P.S. I would also appreciate any references to any good tutorials for using Gradle in situations like these (understanding other people's Gradle projects such as the LittleKT game engine) or just in general. Only if you want to of course.
Thank you!
Hi everyone I am new to IntelliJ in general and especially to Gradle and I feel like a total noob. :D
Im not sure if this is a Kotlin DSL thing or if I just do it the wrong way and it wouldn't work in Groovey either.
After hours of trial and error and reading other SO posts I'm still not able to install a simple dependency... it can't be that hard...
Currently I am playing around with Jetpack Compose for Desktop even though it's still in alpha and it works but for the love of god I am not able to add a dependency.
So here is my Problem:
I try to install the dependency like they say I should in
https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/navigation#kts
and yes I know it's an android package so it may not compile or it may crash during runtime but shouldn't it at least find and download the dependency???
So... if I add
implementation("androidx.navigation:navigation-compose:2.4.0-alpha10")
to my build.gradle.kts
And try to compile it I get an exception during the build process:
What I tried so far:
I checked if the repository maven("https://maven.pkg.jetbrains.space/public/p/compose/dev")
who is configured in my build.gradle.kts repositories-section and in my settings.gradle.kts pluginManagement-section contains the package that I want.
The site https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/androidx.navigation/navigation-compose?repo=space-public-compose-dev tells me, that the repository contains the package that I need.
I checked the error log itself.
But I don't relly know what it tries to say.
I use Java SDK16, since I expect downward compatibility and the fact that the dependency is still in alpha I assume it should be compatible.
I use Kotlin 1.5....
that's it.
Thanks for reading all that :) I really appreciate your time... If I forgot some crucial information let me know and I will add it as soon as I can.
the problem which I feel is, is you are basically opening the wrong file. (I don't use jetpack compose so the answer might differ)
on the top left corner in the image, where there is project dropdown, open it and select android.
now there will be a different set of files in the Gradle folder, in fact, there will be 2 different files in that folder.
build.gradle (project: <project_name>)
build.gradle (Module: <project_name>.app)
open the second file and there will be dependencies copy + paste implementation code there.
the file which you have opened is actually the first file.
Well... here I am back again answering my own question.
After I switched to the terminal in IntelliJ Idea (which to be honest I could have thought of that prior to posting my question) there was highlighted text that gave me the necessary insight, why it wasn't working.
And after some searching the web in order to find out what an "aar" file is and why I didn't get a jar file like I expected it turns out that android has it's own little file format for android applications and that those cannot be used in regular java/kotlin projects.
I read somewhere, that 'aar' files contain a jar file and some other stuff and extracting the jar file from the aar file may be a way to get it working, but it didn't fix anything, maybe because the dependencies of the navigation package are aar files as well and therefor I'd need those packages as well and extract the jar file from those as well and it all seems like this isn't the right way...
So I guess I have to wait until Jetpack Compose for desktop somehow is able to use aar files or until the repositories deliver the packages in a regular jar file.
I've created a gradle modules main that contains main program logic and codegen that contains annotation definitions with processors. I found that:
Please note that kapt is still not supported for IntelliJ IDEA’s own build system. Launch the build from the “Maven Projects” toolbar whenever you want to re-run the annotation processing.
on kapt page (https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/kapt.html) but I really need it. May be there is some (may be ugly) workaround for that? Terminal background worker or prebuild tasks or something else?
P.S.
This can appear as duplicate question but I really didn't found working solution at the moment
At the current project we have this problem as well; we use gradle and the work around is to run gradle classes testClasses from the commandline - either in an external terminal program or in IJ's terminal (alt-F12 on macOS). This triggers kapt as well, and when this is done I do a Build/Rebuild project from IJ's menu as well.
This is enough if the code that is processed by kapt does not change too often (we just use mapstruct and querydsl).
If you are using maven a mvn compile test-compile should work as well.
Finally I found that repository that does work in Intellij IDEA without any workarounds (https://github.com/miquelbeltran/kotlin-code-gen-sample). Taken from https://medium.com/#Miqubel/hello-world-of-annotation-processing-in-kotlin-3ec0290c1fdd
I am working on a project using kotlinjs for nodejs and I start to learn coroutines and integrate them into my code to say goodbye to the callback hell.
I managed to get coroutines working, my code can be compiled and executed, everything seems fine.
...except: The IDE still shows me errors. It seems to be confused by the additional libraries I added in order to get coroutines running.
I am currently fiddling around with the library dependencies, sometimes some errors go away, but then some code gets red which was okay before...
This is what I see:
Case 1:
Cannot access class 'kotlinx.coroutines.experimental.CoroutineContext'. Check your module classpath for missing or conflicting dependencies
Case 2:
Unresolved reference: JsModule
Modifier 'external' is not applicable to 'class'
You see, launch is recognized when I add the stdlib, but then the IDE complains with the other two errors.
Again, please note: In both cases, actual compilation is successful!
I am using IntelliJ 2018.1 with Kotlin Plugin 1.2.41.
Thanks to Alexander Chernikov at youtrack.jetbrains I could resolve my problem.
I cite his explanation:
The issue is that JavaScript libraries should be marked with special attribute to be recognized.
When they are imported from pom.xml or build.gradle, this mark is set, so the feature works.
In your project they are not marked.
At the moment, to correct the libs manually, please open .idea/libraries/org_jetbrains_kotlin_kotlin_stdlib_js_1_2_41.xml and .idea/libraries/org_jetbrains_kotlinx_kotlinx_coroutines_core_js_0_22_5.xml.
In both files find type="repository" and replace it with type="kotlin.js".
Make sure IDEA sees the change. (You can exit IDEA, make the change and restart.)
Then you can keep only these two libs in dependencies. The editor should work.

There I have also attached a sample project with the problem.
I've found the "Beginner's Guide to Setup Xuggler" article from here. I was trying to follow the best chosen answer. While going through the steps, I got stuck # "Run ivy from command-line as follows:" I didn't had Ivy at first, so I headed to Ivy's download page, and downloaded from the Snapshot Build section of the site. Then, I tested with both jar files, but while running the command stated in the Beginner's Guide, I'm getting this message: "ivy configuration file not found: ivysettings.xml". So, what did I do wrong, need I follow the "Building from source" section from the site? If so, can you please give me a detailed description of how to do it, I'm kinda new in these things. Long story short, I need to know how o get a legit "ivy.jar" file as stated in the command line of the Guide.
Ok, so I've solved the problem my own way, kind of. So, I'm gonna share it here so that other fellows like me may profit from it. So, what I did was that I (obviously) downloaded Xuggler 5.4. Then, I downloaded its dependencies manually as listed here. Then, on my IDE, I just had to import Xuggler and all of its dependencies which I previously downloaded and BAM, it worked like a charm. So, if any of you are having problem finding those dependencies or have any queries concerning this "unofficial" method of mine, you can contact me via email. I'll gladly help. :)
I don't know from Xuggler, but... the error message said you're missing ivysettings.xml. The message is probably from ivy.jar, so you definitely have that. ivysettings.xml is a required Ivy config file that tells what repositories you want to pull jars from. There may be a default one in the Xuggler distro, but probably not. You need to look at the ivy documentation to get farther. Or, use Maven instead. While I'm not a fan of Maven, for this kind of situation it may be easier.
