Hamcrest and Mockk for Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile - kotlin

I am trying to write tests in the shared module of a KMM project. In the shared module's build.gradle.kts file I have the following:
sourceSets {
val commonMain by getting
val commonTest by getting {
dependencies {
implementation(kotlin("test-common"))
implementation(kotlin("test-annotations-common"))
//TODO: Hamcrest
//implementation("junit:junit:4.12")
//implementation("org.hamcrest:hamcrest-library:1.3")
//TODO: Mockk
//implementation("io.mockk:mockk:1.10.4")
}
}
//...
}
I have also tried:
implementation(kotlin("[library]"))
with the same result: The tests are no longer recognised by the IDE and I cannot run them.

Unfortunately there isn't a mocking library that has K/N support (AFAIK).
Here's Mockk's K/N and Mockk's K/JS issue for future reference or you could also check out Touchlab's Karmok
For Hamcrest, see their issue here
Edit/Update
In 2022 above answer doesn't stand true anymore. Mockk now supports mocking in shared modules. Please check here mockk.io Add the following dependency and you should be good to go
testImplementation "io.mockk:mockk-common:{version}"
The mocking experience is seamless, just like a regular Android unit test case.

I got a response from the KMM team - thought I would put it here for reference
You can use only multiplatform dependencies that support all declared targets in common source-set, because this could will be used for compilation for all the targets. Junit is not a multiplatform library, it’s JVM, so you should add it to your jvm target source-set (androidMain if you declared android() target). Check this project: https://github.com/Kotlin/kmm-sample/blob/master/shared/build.gradle.kts for example.
The same issue relates to other dependencies - they are not multiplatform, so you can’t use them in a commons source-set.

The same Gradle Kotlin `copy.from` api use `it` when called from build file (kt) and `this` when called from Pluign (kt)

I hope someone can explain this to me.
I was moving some code from a Gradle build file into a Gradle plugin.
Below are two code snippes calling the same from function (based on Ideas indexing)
I noticed that there are some strange differences between how the apis can be used in those two contexts.
I know that Gradle is adding some extra syntax suger around the build files which is why I need to manually cast the task in the Plugin.kt file, but I cannot find anything that explains why from in context of the Build file has this as context where in the plugin the function uses it to access the into function.
It is not just Idea that reports this, running Gradle also shows that it must be like this.
I assume this is something special to Kotlin's way of handling the Action interface in different contexts:
kts file (No wrapping class)
kt file (with class)
Here are the two samples
hostedStaticFiles is gradle configuration that will be used to configure web frontend from a separate build.
build.gradle.kts
tasks.getByName<ProcessResources>("processResources") {
this.from(hostedStaticFiles) {
this#from.into("static") // <-- Note use of this here
}
}
Plugin.kt
project.tasks.getByName("processResources").let<Task, ProcessResources> {
if (it !is ProcessResources) {
throw IllegalStateException("The processResources task in Project is not of type ${ProcessResources::class.java}")
}
it
}.apply {
dependsOn(hostedStaticFiles)
this#apply.from(hostedStaticFiles) { it -> // <-- Note use of it here and below
it.into("static")
}
}
dependencies {
hostedStaticFiles(project("client"))
}
I hobe someone can point me to an explanation or preferably documentation on why this behaves this way :)
Gradle version 7.4.1
###################
After getting the answer from #Joffrey I updated my buildSrc/build.gradle.kts with the below plugin configuration and it all started working as expected.
plugins {
`java-gradle-plugin`
`kotlin-dsl`
}
Gradle uses the HasImplicitReceiver annotation on some function types (like Action), so you can use this instead of it. It leverages Kotlin's SAM-with-receiver compiler plugin.
In Kotlin build scripts (.gradle.kts files) you benefit from this automatically because the Kotlin compiler used to compile your scripts is already properly configured. However, in custom plugin projects, you are in control of the build and you need to apply the kotlin-dsl plugin yourself. As mentioned in the documentation, it does a few things for you, including:
Configures the Kotlin compiler with the same settings that are used for Kotlin DSL scripts, ensuring consistency between your build logic and those scripts.

using kotlinx serialization inside a gradle plugin that creates a gradle task

I am trying to create a gradle plugin that will generate files (serialized from data classes) from a gradle task that can run in another project.
lets say that the classes that I am serializing are marked with some annotation #Annot and I find all the relevant classes with reflection in the gradle task (I made sure to depend on kotlin compile so that the binaries are created). The problem is that when I try to use
val clazz: Class<*>
clazz.kotlin.serializer()
I get a Serializer for class 'Type' is not found. (Type is the actual class that I found and is annotated with #Serializable and #Annot .
I am using gradle version 7.2, kotlin 1.5.21 (tried with 1.5.31 too)
The project that uses the plugin has a kotlinx serialization plugin enabled
What am I missing? why can’t I access the class serializer with the gradle task?
Note* if I run the above code in the target project (and not in the plugin then the serializer() function doesn't throw an exception
So This didn't work in a the way I wanted it to but I found a way to make it work.
I defined a task that extends JavaExec task:
tasks.create(createFilesTaskName, JavaExec::class.java) {
mainClass.set("package.of.file.SchemaKt")
classpath = sourceSets.getByName("main").runtimeClasspath
group = groupName
}
The code in SchemaKt is in the source set of my kotlin sources or alternatively in a package required by the current project.
The serializer() is accessible and working from there and I can run the schemas creation from a gradle task which is exactly what I needed.
I hope this helps someone in the future.

How to use cinterop in Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile projects

I want to integrate C code into a Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile project using the cinterop tool. I already spent some time on the documentation on Kotlin Multiplatform and Kotlin/Native but I can't seem to get it working.
Here is my build.gradle.kts:
kotlin {
android {
publishLibraryVariants("release", "debug")
publishLibraryVariantsGroupedByFlavor = true
}
ios()
androidNativeArm32 {
compilations.getByName("main") {
val myInterop by cinterops.creating {
defFile(project.file("foobar.def"))
packageName("org.sample")
}
}
}
...
}
I want to do the same for the native iOS part.
Watching the gradle output, it seems to me that the cinterop configuration is completely ignored. It doesn't matter whether the def file exists or not. It does not make a difference.
Sorry, if I miss the obvious here. I am a bit confused by all the different Kotlin extensions and especially how they are supposed to work together.
What am I missing in my configuration? Is it even possible to use cinterop in a KMM project.

Can't add kotlinx to a fresh Kotlin/JS project

Trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I created a small video of exactly what I'm doing in IntelliJ on Windows.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIH_55Zbxus&feature=youtu.be
And I'll describe it here in text.
Create a new project
Tick the Gradle > Kotlin/JS for browser template and untick everything else
Add implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.3.8' to the dependencies block in the build.gradle.
Sync the gradle files
Attempt to use something from the kotlinx.coroutines namespace
Hopefully its just a silly thing I'm missing. I expected to just have to add the coroutines library to be able to actually import it. It looks like the library is listed in the project structure for the main module so I'm not sure what else might be wrong. Here is a repo of the project too.
plugins {
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.js' version '1.3.72'
}
group 'org.example'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-js"
implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.3.8'
testImplementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test-js"
}
kotlin.target.browser { }
You should add kotlinx-coroutines-core-js dependency. See the documentation: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines#js

How to add dependencies to a kotlin library?

I am trying to build a kotlin library for discord bots, which can be found at https://github.com/TheDrone7/discord-kt , published to jcenter (bintray link - https://bintray.com/thedrone7/discordKt/discord-kt). The library has a few dependencies of it's own as well.
When I add my own library to my test app, the library's dependencies were not installed and I started getting some errors. Is there a way to specify the library's dependencies so that they get automatically installed when a user uses my library?
EDIT: -
So basically my test app's build.gradle.kts file's dependencies section is given below
dependencies {
// Use the Kotlin JDK 8 standard library.
implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8")
implementation("org.theDrone:discordKt:0.0.1a")
// Use the Kotlin test library.
testImplementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test")
// Use the Kotlin JUnit integration.
testImplementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test-junit")
}
And my library is dependent on the following packages: -
org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.1.0
org.java-websocket:Java-WebSocket:1.4.0
com.beust:klaxon:5.0.5
org.slf4j:slf4j-jdk14:1.7.26
now when I run my test app, it shows gives error that there is no class named WebSocketClient which is a part of the org.java-websocket:Java-WebSocket:1.4.0 package and is also the base of my entire library.
When I add the listed packages to my test app's dependencies, it works perfectly fine. So is there a way that I could define in my library that the apps using it will also automatically depend on the packages my library depends on?
You declared the Java-WebSocket library as a dependency of your library using the implementation configuration.
This configuration means: I need that for my code to work, but it's an implementation detail and it's thus not part of my public API, so users of my library won't have access to it in their compile classpath.
So Gradle, when it generates the pom.xml file for your library, adds Java-WebSocket as a runtime dependency, and not as a compile dependency.
Read the java-library plugin documentation, which explains all of that in details. Once you have understood it, use api instead of implementation in your library's build.gradle.kts file for the dependencies that are part of your API, and should thus be compile dependencies and not runtime dependencies:
api("org.java-websocket:Java-WebSocket:1.4.0")
