Hi everyone!

I’m having a Kotlin Javascript project where I’ve devided the my kotlin code into two modules. I’m building my project with maven and I’ve created a depency from the one module the other, however it’s not compiling.  
Is this supported?

I’ve created an example project where it’s occuring:

Anyone knows what I could be doing wrong?

PS: My project compiled before introducing the common module and the depenency on it.

It seems the problem is in kotlin-js-common/pom.xml --- it produced an archive without JS files in it, so kotlin js compiler doesn't recognize it as a valid Kotlin JavaScript library.

```kotlin

```

pom.xml contains lines

```kotlin
                   <phase>compile</phase>
                   <goals>
                           <goal>js</goal>
                   </goals>

                           <metaFile>${project.build.outputDirectory}/${project.artifactId}.meta.js</metaFile>
                   </configuration>
```

but now meta file should also be created in the same directory which contains translated JS file. Option \<metaFile\> now is boolean and is true by default.

Hi Michael and thanks your answer!

I’ve now changed metaFile = path to be metaInfo = true  
See:  
[https://github.com/jvskriubakken/kotlin-js/commit/1e4e9bc8a5764f008ded4436e36c31af2d9849fe](https://github.com/jvskriubakken/kotlin-js/commit/1e4e9bc8a5764f008ded4436e36c31af2d9849fe)

But I still have problems compiling

Maybe I do not understand what you are saying here: “but now meta file should also be created in the same directory which contains translated JS file”?

Looking forward to if anyone could help with understanding this.

Hi Jørund!

Let’s take a look at kotlin-js-common.

pom.xml contains the following lines:

```kotlin
                   <goals>
                           <goal>js</goal>
                   </goals>
                   <configuration>
                           <outputFile>${project.build.outputDirectory}/…/…/js/${project.artifactId}.js</outputFile>
                           <metaInfo>true</metaInfo>
                   </configuration>
```

We see that kotlin-js-common.js and kotlin-js-common.meta.js will be placed into kotlin-js-common/js, outside of target directory.  
The resulting jar target/kotlin-js-common-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar doesn’t contain nor kotlin-js-common.js&nbsp;&nbsp;neither kotlin-js-common.meta.js.

It seems you can use something like the following in order to fix build  
[https://github.com/MichaelNedzelsky/kotlin-js/commit/533995f6b93f49e013b9b1a60ff203adc1f218a9](https://github.com/MichaelNedzelsky/kotlin-js/commit/533995f6b93f49e013b9b1a60ff203adc1f218a9)

Thanks a lot Michael for your time!

I pulled your pull request and it looks promising, since it now compiled successfully, but however it failed runtime.  
See attached picture.  
Would you be able to see what’s wrong?

Hello again!

Sorry, my blind mistake. Did not see that I had to add a reference to the common js file in my index.html.

Thanks a lot for your time. It was really helpful. I would never have guesses this my self.
