Kotlin Multiplatform builds result in "Error class: Unknown class" about dokkatoo

I can confirm the sources seem to work correctly:

I'm currently playing around with migrating to Dokkatoo in cashapp/redwood but we're seeing the same issue with 1.2.0. My WIP branch is here: cashapp/redwood#936

hi @chrisbanes, I can take a look at the branch. Can you open a new issue please? Ideally with a small reproducer.

At first glance I can see that the project is using the legacy method of applying plugins, which might mean that Dokkatoo can't automatically pick up the classpath of a module (which is performed in DokkatooKotlinAdapter).

You can look in the generated my-subproject/build/dokka-config/html/dokka_parameters.json file in each subproject to see what classpath has been picked up.

For a quick-fix you could try the workaround mentioned in #44 (comment) and manually add files to the classpath

// build.gradle.kts

dokkatoo {
  dokkatooSourceSets.configureEach {
    // workaround for https://github.com/adamko-dev/dokkatoo/issues/44
    classpath.from(configurations.compileClasspath.map { it.incoming.artifactView { lenient(true) }.artifacts.artifactFiles })
  }
}

Thanks, I've taken a look and I think that Dokkatoo that this error is just one symptom.

DokkatooKotlinAdapter is supposed to automatically convert any Kotlin Multiplatform source sets to an equivalent Dokka source set, but when I look in ./build/dokka-config/html/dokka_parameters.json the platform type for all source sets is common, while it should be jvm or js etc. The classpath doesn't seem to be shared across the source sets either.

I'll try to refactor DokkatooKotlinAdapter but I found it extremely difficult to do workaround Gradle's Configuration Cache restrictions.

For now, you can try and manually construct the source sets. I've not done this before, and there's no example, so it will need some experimentation. Here's a start:

dokkatoo {

  dokkatooSourceSets.clear() // clear the bugged source sets generated by Dokkatoo

  dokkatooSourceSets.create("common") {
    displayName.set("Common")
    analysisPlatform.set(KotlinPlatform.Common)
    sourceRoots.from("src/commonMain/kotlin")
    val dokkatooCommonClasspath by configurations.registering {
      isCanBeResolved = true
      isCanBeConsumed = false
      extendsFrom(
        configurations.getByName("commonMainImplementation"),
        configurations.getByName("commonMainCompileOnly"),
        configurations.getByName("commonMainRuntimeOnly"),
        configurations.getByName("commonMainApi"),
      )
    }

    classpath.from(dokkatooCommonClasspath.map { it.incoming.artifacts.artifactFiles })
  }

  dokkatooSourceSets.create("jvm") {
    displayName.set("JVM")
    analysisPlatform.set(KotlinPlatform.JVM)
    sourceRoots.from("src/jvmMain/kotlin")

    val dokkatooJvmClasspath by configurations.registering {
      isCanBeResolved = true
      isCanBeConsumed = false
      extendsFrom(
        configurations.getByName("jvmCompileClasspath"),
        configurations.getByName("jvmRuntimeClasspath"),
      )
    }

    classpath.from(dokkatooJvmClasspath.map { it.incoming.artifacts.artifactFiles })
  }
}

@EdricChan03 I've refactored the Kotlin Multiplatform configuration, and added some tests to verify that this problem doesn't occur in the same projects. Please could you check if 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT resolves the issue? If you could also check #51 at the same time, it would be much appreciated!
