Kotlinx Serialization

[jhouse-pm]

Thanks for the template, I'm new to SpringBoot and this is a great resource!

I'm having issues added Kotlin's serialization library to buildSrc and thought to ask for assistance:

I've tried adding:

// buildSrc/.../kotlin-conventions.gradle.kts
plugins {
    kotlin("plugin.serialization")
}

but am seeing the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Precompiled script plugin '/Users/jhouse/repos/kt-landslide/buildSrc/src/main/kotlin/com/pavlovmedia/landside/gradle/kotlin-conventions.gradle.kts' line: 1

* What went wrong:
Plugin [id: 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.serialization'] was not found in any of the following sources:

- Gradle Core Plugins (plugin is not in 'org.gradle' namespace)
- Plugin Repositories (plugin dependency must include a version number for this source)

I'm hoping once I solve that then I can the follow dependency to either a) all sub-projects (in kotlin-conventions.gradle.kts??), or b) specific sub-projects:

dependency {
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-json:1.6.0")
}

Thanks for any assistance in how this lib can be setup in your template.

You need to add the dependency to buildSrc/build.gradle.kts:

add("implementation", libs.findLibrary("kotlin-serialization").get())

AND in gradle/libs.versions.toml under libraries:

kotlin-serialization = { module = "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-serialization", version.ref = "kotlin" }

Thanks for the reply. That did the trick!
