Documentation is not generated on 1.8.20 with KMP Multimodule project

[Nek-12]

Describe the bug
The documentation is not generated despite the task completing successfully with Kotlin 1.9, Dokka 1.8.20 and a KMP project

Expected behaviour
The documentation is generated or the task fails explaining what went wrong

Screenshots
You can visit the javadocs site to see how it looks:
https://opensource.respawn.pro/FlowMVI/javadocs/index

To Reproduce
See the project https://github.com/respawn-app/FlowMVI

Dokka configuration
Configuration of dokka used to reproduce the bug

plugins {
    alias(libs.plugins.dokka)
}

subprojects {
    apply(plugin = rootProject.libs.plugins.dokka.id)

    dependencies {
        dokkaPlugin(rootProject.libs.dokka.android)
    }

    tasks {
        withType<AbstractDokkaTask> {
            val className =
                "org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.targets.native.internal.CInteropMetadataDependencyTransformationTask"

            @Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
            val taskClass = Class.forName(className) as Class<Task>
            parent?.subprojects?.forEach {
                dependsOn(it.tasks.withType(taskClass))
            }
        }

        register<org.gradle.jvm.tasks.Jar>("dokkaJavadocJar") {
            dependsOn(dokkaJavadoc)
            from(dokkaJavadoc.flatMap { it.outputDirectory })
            archiveClassifier.set("javadoc")
        }
    }
}

tasks {
        dokkaHtmlMultiModule.configure {
            moduleName.set(rootProject.name)
            outputDirectory.set(buildDir.resolve("dokka"))
    }
}

Are you willing to provide a PR?
I don't know what's wrong to provide a PR

[IgnatBeresnev]

Would you be able to tell us what exact problem you're running into? Maybe a stacktrace or a description of what is happening? In case it's a new problem that we haven't encountered yet.

[Nek-12]

I already described my problem in the issue description. The documentation is not generated. No stacktraces are produced The console prints the tasks as if they were executed.

[Nek-12]

This also applies to the html documentation

[IgnatBeresnev]

I've cloned the project locally, commented out the scary Dokka configuration blocks, and run ./gradlew clean dokkaHtmlMultiModule --no-configuration-cache. The documentation is successfully built:

---

Is there any reason you're configuring CInteropMetadataDependencyTransformationTask and task dependencies?

[Nek-12]

Yes, because of #2977

I'm puzzled about the fact that you were able to build the project without running into that issue. Anything else you changed?

[IgnatBeresnev]

Dokka 1.9.0 has been released, and it includes some workarounds for this problem. See the following issue for details:

• Resolution of platform dependencies fails the build with Kotlin 1.9 / Gradle 8 #3153

---

To avoid the spread of information and have updates in a single place, I'll close this issue and a few others as duplicates in favour of #3153.
