Incorrect localDirectory after updating to Dokka 1.5.0

[breandan]

After updating to Dokka 1.5.0, the sourceLink.localDirectory was detected as /core/core/ instead of /core/. Please see the error below:

* What went wrong:
Some problems were found with the configuration of task ':kotlingrad:dokkaHtmlPartial' (type 'DokkaTaskPartial').
  - In plugin 'org.jetbrains.dokka.gradle.DokkaPlugin' type 'org.jetbrains.dokka.gradle.DokkaTaskPartial' property 'unsuppressedSourceSets.$0.sourceLinks.$0.localDirectory' specifies directory '/home/runner/work/kotlingrad/kotlingrad/core/core/src/main/kotlin' which doesn't exist.
    
    Reason: An input file was expected to be present but it doesn't exist.

This is my Dokka configuration from the project's main build.gradle.kts:

subprojects {
  apply<DokkaPlugin>()

  tasks.withType<DokkaTaskPartial> {
    dokkaSourceSets.configureEach {
      jdkVersion.set(15)

      sourceLink {
        localDirectory.set(file("core/src/main/kotlin"))
        remoteUrl.set(URL("https://github.com/breandan/kotlingrad/blob/master/core/src/main/kotlin"))
        remoteLineSuffix.set("#L")
      }

      sourceLink {
        localDirectory.set(file("samples/src/main/kotlin"))
        remoteUrl.set(URL("https://github.com/breandan/kotlingrad/blob/master/samples/src/main/kotlin"))
        remoteLineSuffix.set("#L")
      }

      perPackageOption {
        matchingRegex.set("(.*?)")
        suppress.set(true)
      }

      perPackageOption {
        matchingRegex.set("edu.umontreal.kotlingrad.*")
        suppress.set(false)
      }

      externalDocumentationLink("https://ejml.org/javadoc/")
    }
  }
}

Here is the full stack trace from running ./gradlew dokkaHtmlMultiModule --no-daemon --no-parallel --stacktrace -Dorg.gradle.jvmargs="-XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=2G" I received after updating to Dokka 1.5.0.

I can't debug your case since this project fails to resolve artifactcom.github.breandan:kaliningraph:0.1.7

[breandan]

I have migrated our project off JitPack, so the above issue should now be resolved. Here is the build log after updating from Dokka 1.4.32 to 1.5.30: https://gist.github.com/breandan/5685325b2f683aa866735381e4b81650

For the specific commit, please see breandan/kotlingrad@94b8e72. Previously the Dokka workflow completed successfully, but after updating to 1.5.30 it failed. Please let me know if you need any additional information to help debug. Thanks!

The problem seems quite strange, so instead of trying to figure out what exactly happened 2 major releases ago, I went ahead and fixed Dokka in the linked project, see breandan/kotlingrad#31. Source links work as expected there.

Hopefully this resolves the issue, so I'm closing it for now. Do let us know if you experience anything similar to this.

Wow, thank you for investigating this issue and the kind contribution. Much appreciated!
