FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

To Reproduce

1. copy this template https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/tree/master/templates/desktop-template
2. add kotlin("plugin.serialization") version "1.4.10"
3. add implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-json:1.0.1")
4. add a very basic model into src/main/kotlin:

import kotlinx.serialization.*

@Serializable
data class TestData(var thing: Int? = null)

(I have tested w/ and w/o the default value; with var and val)

Expected behavior App should compile. As a side note, you have to include json support - even if that isn't the intended target; or the IDE can't resolve @Serializable.

Environment

• Kotlin version: 1.4.10
• Library version: 1.4.10 and 1.0.1
• Kotlin platforms: JVM
• Gradle version: 6.5.1
• IDE version (if bug is related to the IDE) IntelliJ Ultimate 2020.3 EAP --or-- pure CLI
• Other relevant context: Ubuntu 18.04, JDK 11

kotlinx.serialization currently is not fully compatible with Jetpack Compose

[sigmadeltasoftware]

I've currently encountered the same issue for a sealed class's child which uses the @Serializable annotation: Stacktrace Gist

The implementation was working before when I was purely using Kotlin Platform Mobile (along with Jetpack Compose for Android), but it started failing once I introduced Jetbrains Compose for Desktop (along with its modifications for :common's build.gradle.kts file).

Is there a timeline on when compatibility for these two might be introduced?

[doughoff]

i've got the same error, anyone has a way out of this. Kinda Brings me down things were working well. :/

[rossdanderson]

I put my serializable classes into a gradle subproject with the serialization plugin and no compose plugin, and then had the subproject with the compose plugin and no serialization plugin depend on that. Hope that helps.

[marcosalis]

I'm getting this error only on incremental compilation (clean builds work fine) in a Kotlin-only module on Android Studio and I'm not using Jetpack Compose. Any ideas on what could be causing this?
