• Pure kotlin modules

• Android Kotlin modules
• Kapt
• Kotlin rule support for buck project Add kotlin rules support to buck project facebook/buck#1200

[runningcode]

We've been slacking on keeping these github issues up to date. :)

Buck itself supports pure kotlin modules, mixed kotlin/java modules and android kotlin modules.
Buck is missing support for kapt and robolectric_rule. We should add robolectric_rule support to this list.

Also, okbuck support for mixed kotlin/java and android kotlin modules is on this branch: https://github.com/runningcode/okbuck/tree/no/kotlin-android-mixed.
They won't be upstreamed because @kageiit is planning on adding support in a large refactor of okbuck.

Okbuck v0.22.1 is out with Kotlin Android support and mixed Kotlin/Java modules support

[kageiit]

@runningcode I already added robolectric_test support to okbuck. As soon as buck starts supporting it, it should start working out of the box

What is the state of kapt support? Thanks!

[kageiit]

It is blocked by facebook/buck#956

What about the status of this. I saw kotlin is supported in the Features page.

[kageiit]

Yes everything is supported except kapt. @cwoodwar6 is currently working on kapt support

Forgive my ignorance, but what does partial kotlin support entail exactly? What does the current "partial" kotlin support (e.g. everything but kapt) get us? Can you build everything but annotation-processor-based things?

Yes. If your gradle modules do not use the kapt configuration for annotation processors, they should work fine.

It's looking hopeful cwoodwar6/buck#3

Go go go! 🤞 Our app is majority Kotlin by now and I'm dying to give okbuck another shot (our gradle build times are 4-5 minutes).
