Current Behavior

We have code that created for Kotlin Multiplatform on Android project. And we are using Mockk version 1.10.+ for our Kotlin Multiplatform unit tests.

Failure Information (for bugs)

After updating to Android Studio 4.1, code inspection and syntax highlighting or navigating between code stopped. We are not able to use our tests. Debugger is not working. But that happens only for Kotlin Multiplatform code. Since regular Android modules are not using Mockk, Android Studio inspecting code without issue. On the other hand, if we downgrade our Mockk version to 1.9.2, it works perfectly. Code inspection and syntax highlighting starts working again.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Update to Android Studio 4.1
2. Create Kotlin Multiplatform project.
3. Create new module that contains Kotlin shared code.
4. Add dependency of Mockk 1.10.+ version for unit test (We both tried 1.10.1 and 1.10.2)
5. Sync gradle.
6. Check your Kotlin code, it won’t syntax highlighting and code inspections stops.

Context

• MockK version: 1.10.+
• OS: MacOS Catalina
• Kotlin version: 1.4.10
• JDK version: 8
• JUnit version:
• Type of test: unit test for Kotlin Multiplatform
• Dependencies we use:

commonTest {
            dependencies {
                implementation kotlin('test-common')
                implementation kotlin('test-annotations-common')
                implementation kotlin('test-junit')
                implementation 'io.mockk:mockk:1.10.0' 
            }
        }

This happens to me in my app project too with multiple libraries… Did you guys find some solution?

I have the same issue. This will cause the Android studio becomes not able to identify mpp project correctly. Without mockk dependency. With mockk dependency.
