I'm trying to use dokka on my android project to generate kdoc. But I have this error when I'm running the script 'modules:app [dokka]' : Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:dokka'. kotlin.KotlinNullPointerException (no error message)
I added the following lines on my gradle files :
Project build.gradle
buildscript {
ext {
dokka_version = '0.9.18'
}
dependencies {
classpath "org.jetbrains.dokka:dokka-android-gradle-plugin:$dokka_version"
}
}
app build.gradle
plugins {
id 'org.jetbrains.dokka-android'
}
dokka {
outputFormat = 'html'
sourceDirs = files('src/main')
outputDirectory = "$buildDir/javadoc"
}
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:dokka'. kotlin.KotlinNullPointerException (no error message)
The issue is that it's a multiplatform project. In the app level gradle file, I'm also applying the org.jetbrains.kotlin.multiplatform
plugin. As described in the dokka github release page:
Experimental Kotlin Multiplatform support is scheduled for 0.9.19
Looks like there's no other solution than wait for the next release of dokka.
Edit: There's a workaround described on the kolinlang forum
dokka {
impliedPlatforms = ["common"] // This will force platform tags for all non-common sources e.g. "JVM"
kotlinTasks {
// dokka fails to retrieve sources from MPP-tasks so they must be set empty to avoid exception
// use sourceRoot instead (see below)
[]
}
sourceRoot {
// assuming there is only a single source dir...
path = kotlin.sourceSets.commonMain.kotlin.srcDirs[0]
platforms = ["common"]
}
}
