Kotlin JS compiler crash: Arrays of class literals not supported

Support

My gradle build (task compileKotlinJs) dies with this. I have no idea what’s causing it. It gives no source code location. Any ideas?

e: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Arrays of class literals are not supported yet

Do you use custom serializers? I have this error sometimes. It is somehow connected with @file:UseSerializers(...). Strangely, in my case it goes away after second compilation, but for one file I had to remove file level annotation and use @Serializable(with=...) on class properties.

Thank you for the suggestion, that appears to have been it. I had a serializer for Date and another for my own UUID data class in a @file:UseSerializers annotation. My data classes are uglier to read now with all the @Serializable(with=...) annotations on their properties, but the error went away.
