Kotlin Compile Testing

A library for in-process compilation of Kotlin and Java code, in the spirit of Google Compile Testing. For example, you can use this library to test your annotation processor or compiler plugin.

Use Cases

Compile Kotlin and Java code in tests
Test annotation processors
Test compiler plugins
Test Kotlin code generation

Example

Create sources

class TestEnvClass {}

@Test
fun `test my annotation processor`() {
  val kotlinSource = SourceFile.kotlin(
    "KClass.kt", """
        class KClass {
            fun foo() {
                // Classes from the test environment are visible to the compiled sources
                val testEnvClass = TestEnvClass() 
            }
        }
    """
  )

  val javaSource = SourceFile.java(
    "JClass.java", """
        public class JClass {
            public void bar() {
                // compiled Kotlin classes are visible to Java sources
                KClass kClass = new KClass(); 
            }
	    }
    """)

Configure compilation

    val result = KotlinCompilation().apply {
        sources = listOf(kotlinSource, javaSource)
        
        // pass your own instance of an annotation processor
        annotationProcessors = listOf(MyAnnotationProcessor()) 

        // pass your own instance of a compiler plugin
        compilerPlugins = listOf(MyComponentRegistrar())
	commandLineProcessors = listOf(MyCommandlineProcessor())
        
        inheritClassPath = true
        messageOutputStream = System.out // see diagnostics in real time
    }.compile()

Assert results

    assertThat(result.exitCode).isEqualTo(ExitCode.OK)	
    
    // Test diagnostic output of compiler
    assertThat(result.messages).contains("My annotation processor was called") 
    
    // Load compiled classes and inspect generated code through reflection
    val kClazz = result.classLoader.loadClass("KClass")
    assertThat(kClazz).hasDeclaredMethods("foo")
}

Features

Mixed-source sets: Compile Kotlin and Java source files in a single run
Annotation processing:
- Run annotation processors on Kotlin and Java sources
- Generate Kotlin and Java sources
- Both Kotlin and Java sources have access to the generated sources
- Provide your own instances of annotation processors directly to the compiler instead of letting the compiler create them with a service locator
- Debug annotation processors: Since the compilation runs in the same process as your application, you can easily debug it instead of having to attach your IDE's debugger manually to the compilation process
Inherit classpath: Compiled sources have access to classes in your application
Project Jigsaw compatible: Kotlin-Compile-Testing works with JDK 8 as well as JDK 9 and later
JDK-crosscompilation: Provide your own JDK to compile the code against, instead of using the host application's JDK. This allows you to easily test your code on all JDK versions
Find dependencies automatically on the host classpath

Installation

The package is available on Maven Central.

Add dependency to your module's build.gradle file:

dependencies {
        // ...
	testImplementation("com.github.tschuchortdev:kotlin-compile-testing:1.5.0")
}

Remember to leave a star if you found it useful

Compatible Compiler Versions

Kotlin-Compile-Testing is compatible with all local compiler versions. It does not matter what compiler you use to compile your project.

However, if your project or any of its dependencies depend directly on compiler artifacts such as kotlin-compiler-embeddable or kotlin-annotation-processing-embeddable then they have to be the same version as the one used by Kotlin-Compile-Testing or there will be a transitive dependency conflict.

Current kotlin-compiler-embeddable version: 1.8.0

Because the internal APIs of the Kotlin compiler often change between versions, we can only support one kotlin-compiler-embeddable version at a time.

Kotlin Symbol Processing API Support

Kotlin Symbol Processing (KSP) is a new annotation processing pipeline that builds on top of the plugin architecture of the Kotlin Compiler, instead of delegating to javac as kapt does.

To test KSP processors, you need to use the KSP dependency:

dependencies {
    testImplementation("com.github.tschuchortdev:kotlin-compile-testing-ksp:1.5.0")
}

This module adds a new function to the KotlinCompilation to specify KSP processors:

class MySymbolProcessorProvider : SymbolProcessorProvider {
    // implementation of the SymbolProcessorProvider from the KSP API
}
val compilation = KotlinCompilation().apply {
    sources = listOf(source)
    symbolProcessorProviders = listOf(MySymbolProcessorProvider())
}
val result = compilation.compile()

All code generated by the KSP processor will be written into the KotlinCompilation.kspSourcesDir directory.

Projects that use Kotlin-Compile-Testing

Java 16 compatibility

With the release of Java 16 the access control of the new Jigsaw module system is starting to be enforced by the JVM. Unfortunately, this impacts kotlin-compile-testing because KAPT still tries to access classes of javac that are not exported by the jdk.compiler module, leading to errors such as:

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class org.jetbrains.kotlin.kapt3.base.KaptContext (in unnamed module @0x43b6aa9d) cannot access class com.sun.tools.javac.util.Context (in module jdk.compiler) because module jdk.compiler does not export com.sun.tools.javac.util to unnamed module @0x43b6aa9d

To mitigate this problem, you have to add the following code to your module's build.gradle file:

if (JavaVersion.current() >= JavaVersion.VERSION_16) {
    test {
        jvmArgs(
          "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.api=ALL-UNNAMED",
          "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.code=ALL-UNNAMED",
          "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.comp=ALL-UNNAMED",
          "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.file=ALL-UNNAMED",
          "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.jvm=ALL-UNNAMED",
          "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.main=ALL-UNNAMED",
          "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.parser=ALL-UNNAMED",
          "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.processing=ALL-UNNAMED",
          "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.tree=ALL-UNNAMED",
          "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.util=ALL-UNNAMED",
        )
    }
}

or for Kotlin DSL

if (JavaVersion.current() >= JavaVersion.VERSION_16) {
    tasks.withType<Test>().all {
        jvmArgs(
            "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.api=ALL-UNNAMED",
            "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.code=ALL-UNNAMED",
            "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.comp=ALL-UNNAMED",
            "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.file=ALL-UNNAMED",
            "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.jvm=ALL-UNNAMED",
            "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.main=ALL-UNNAMED",
            "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.parser=ALL-UNNAMED",
            "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.processing=ALL-UNNAMED",
            "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.tree=ALL-UNNAMED",
            "--add-opens=jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.util=ALL-UNNAMED",
        )
    }
}

Since the kotlin compilation tests run in the same process as the test runner, these options have to be added manually and can not be set automatically by the kotlin-compile-testing library.
