I started off with the tutorial for learning Kotlin in IntelliJ.When I tried running the example i.e
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
println("lol")
}
Execution is suspended with this messageError:(5, 5) Kotlin: Unresolved reference: println
This is the first time I am using IntelliJ.I have never worked on a Java project either.Am I missing something?
Edit:I have seen the other question already.The answer is not valid for my situation.
Your Intellij IDEA plugin and the Kotlin runtime/compiler that you use in the project need to match. For example if IDE plugin is Beta 1, but your Gradle/Maven project using M12, you'll have issues exactly as you described. So check that everything lines up.
If you still have issues, with some older plugins you need to clear the caches in Intellij IDEA (file menu, Clear Caches and Restart, select option to restart).
If anyone stumbles across this and NEITHER Invalidate Cache or Update Kotlin's Version work:
1) First, make sure you can build it from outside the IDE. If you're using gradle, for instance:
gradle clean build
If everything goes well , then your environment is all good to work with Kotlin.
2) To fix the IDE build, try the following:
Project Structure -> {Select Module} -> Kotlin -> FIX
As suggested by a JetBrain's member here: https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/intellij-kotlin-project-screw-up/597
Ok, i've been here a few times and not entirely sure how or why this happens but reading suggests its a Kotlin/JVM mismatch. I have tried a number of things mentioned on this page but not without complete success. This was the sort of symptom the IDE was displaying in the message panel after trying to run tests via the IDE. However the code panel has no red lines indicating that modules can't be found or imported or anything untoward.
My project (at time of writing this) is a gradle 4.10.2 kotlin 1.3 project in IntelliJ (IntelliJ IDEA 2018.2.5 (Ultimate Edition) Build #IU-182.4892.20, built on October 16, 2018)
For starters though, I invalidated caches and restarted. Then ran a gradle clean build. After rebuilding the project still no joy. I went into the project settings and noticed the compiler versions were not set to java 8, I set the Compiler/Kotlin/Target JVM Version and Compiler/Java/Project Byte Code to 1.8/8 (see below), then ran some tests in the IDE and we are back in business! References resolved in my case.
My problem was solved by adding kotlin as follow
presentation.gradle (app.gradle)
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android' // here
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions' // and here
android {
...
}
dependencies {
...
}
domain.gradle (pure kotlin)
My error was throw here, because Android Studio create my domain module as pure Java Module and applied plugin as java, and I used it in the my presentation module that is a Android/Kotlin Module
The Android Studio finds and import the path of package but the incompatibillity don't allow the build.
Just remove
apply plugin: 'java'and swith to kotlin as follow
apply plugin: 'kotlin' // here is
dependencies {
...
}
...
data.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android' // here
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions' // and here
android {
...
}
dependencies {
..
}
I think that it will be helpfull
Sometimes this could happen because you are trying to use a project with incompatible versions of Kotlin plugin in Gradle with plugin in your IDE. Check the versions of org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm and other Kotlin plugins in build.gradle, and version of installed kotlin plugin in your IDE, and try to make it similar:
I tried everything: clean build folders, run gradle clean build, execute AS invalidate cache(x2), reinstall Kotlin plugin, restarting pc.
But in the end after doing all this it still didn't work, but doing also removal from project build.gradle of this line: apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions', gradle sync and then re-adding worked
Top Solution not work for me, after some method tries, remove IDEA caches manully works:
caches directory:
~/Library/Caches/JetBrains/<product><version> on macOS
~/.cache/JetBrains/<product><version> on Linux
%LOCALAPPDATA%\JetBrains\<product><version> on Windows
solution source: KTX issues
I was too getting this error, but i have solved this using below concept.
This error comes because of not configuring java properly.
Sometimes in similar situations (I don't think it is your problem because your case is very simple) it's worth to check kotlin file package.
If you have Kotlin file within the same package and put there some classes and missed the package declaration it looks inside the IntelliJ that you have classes in the same package but without definition of package the IntelliJ shows you:
Error:(5, 5) Kotlin: Unresolved reference: ...
I had this problem because I was trying to set up a multiplatform library configurations.
I had deleted all the source sets with their dependencies from the "build.gradle" file but kept the "common" source set.
Native was working fine but the JVM was not able to build and showed your error.
In the end, the solution was to not delete the Source set of the JVM neither it's dependencies
I had this issue because the linter was printing that my object was an instance of Foo whereas the compiler couldn't define its type and consider it was an Any object like (It was more complex in my case, the linter show error in below code but the idea is here) :
class Foo {
val bar: Int = 0
}
fun test(): Any {
return Foo()
}
val foo = test()
foo.bar // <-- Linter consider that foo is an Instance of Foo but not the compiler because it's an Any object so it show the error at compilation.
To fix it I had to cast my object :
val foo = test() as Foo
