Unable to compile after trying to update to 0.24.0: Unable to find method GenerateMultiplatformResourcesTask.onlyIf

[bravo-delta]

First of all: Thanks for all the efforts that went into the 0.24.0 Update

I tried to update my project to 0.24.0 but during compilation the following error is thrown:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void dev.icerock.gradle.tasks.GenerateMultiplatformResourcesTask.onlyIf(java.lang.String, org.gradle.api.specs.Spec)' at dev.icerock.gradle.extra.MokoResourcesGenTaskKt$registerGenerateTask$taskProvider$1.invoke(mokoResourcesGenTask.kt:110) at dev.icerock.gradle.extra.MokoResourcesGenTaskKt$registerGenerateTask$taskProvider$1.invoke(mokoResourcesGenTask.kt:78) at dev.icerock.gradle.extra.MokoResourcesGenTaskKt.registerGenerateTask$lambda$0(mokoResourcesGenTask.kt:81) at org.gradle.api.internal.DefaultMutationGuard$2.execute(DefaultMutationGuard.java:44) at org.gradle.api.internal.DefaultMutationGuard$2.execute(DefaultMutationGuard.java:44)

What I did:

• moved resources from src\commonMain\resources\MR to src\commonMain\moko-resources
• changed dependency in build.gradle:
  buildscript { dependencies { [...] classpath: "dev.icerock.moko:resources-generator:0.24.0" } }
• Changed multiplatformResources in build.gradle.kts:
  multiplatformResources { resourcesPackage.set("com.example.projectname") iosBaseLocalizationRegion.set("en") }
• Updated the dependency version in build.gradle.kts to 0.24.0
• Kotlin 1.9.20
• Android Studio Iguana | 2023.2.1 Patch 1

Somehow there seems to be an issue with caching, because the IDE says that the resourcesPackage property of multiplatformResources in the build.gradle.kts file is an unresolved reference. If I go to the declaration of the multiplatformResources it opens the old 0.23.0.jar
I cleared various cache folders, including the ~/.gradle/ folder, which contains the ~/.gradle/caches/jars-9/..../resources-generator-0.24.0.jar and 0.23.0.jar, but to no avail.

Any ideas, what might be wrong?

If I change back the resources-generator class path dependency to 0.23.0 it compiles, but of course all resources are empty, because they are located in the new directory moko-resources, where the old generator does not search for them.

Hi. What gradle version used?

[bravo-delta]

Hello, I'm running gradle 7.5.

Thanks for the pointer, that seems to be the issue.
It looks like the update to Kotlin 1.9.20 requires gradle 8.5

The error went away.
I was only looking at the minimum requirement of Gradle 7.5 that is mentioned in the moko-resources description and did not look at the one that Kotlin requires.

There is a new error now, but that seems to be related to a resource, where the previous moko version was less restrictive maybe.

java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 0 at dev.icerock.gradle.utils.StringExtKt.convertXmlStringToAndroidLocalization(StringExt.kt:66) at dev.icerock.gradle.generator.resources.string.AndroidStringResourceGenerator.generateLanguageFile(AndroidStringResourceGenerator.kt:73) at dev.icerock.gradle.generator.resources.string.AndroidStringResourceGenerator.generateResourceFiles(AndroidStringResourceGenerator.kt:54) at dev.icerock.gradle.generator.ResourceTypeGenerator.generateFiles(ResourceTypeGenerator.kt:179) at dev.icerock.gradle.generator.ResourcesGenerator.generateResources(ResourcesGenerator.kt:197) at dev.icerock.gradle.tasks.GenerateMultiplatformResourcesTask.generate(GenerateMultiplatformResourcesTask.kt:166)

I'll see if I can figure that out.

Most likely it has to do with this change: StringExt.kt String.convertXmlStringToAndroidLocalization

I have various strings that are empty, e.g. like:
<string name="empty_string"></string>

If these are getting into that method, the call to this[0] fails.

Another example with plurals

<plurals name="missing_chapters">
    <item quantity="one"/>
    <item quantity="other">Жоқ %1$s тараулары</item>
</plurals>

will be released in 0.24.1
