Kotlin 1.9.x support

[rocketraman]

Kotlin-power-assert seems to work with 1.9.x, and even the sample uses 1.9.x, but the README does not list it as supported. Can official support be added for it?

I do note this statement, but given that every previous version of Kotlin is listed, its easy to miss, or to assume the plugin has not been updated:

If a version of Kotlin or this plugin is not listed it can be assumed to maintain compatibility with the next oldest version listed.

Yes, Kotlin 1.9.x is supported by 0.13.0. (Though I think there is a small incompatibility if an error needs to be reported, so I might need to release a new version)

The compatibility guide is not the easiest thing to make clear, so if you have any ideas on how to improve the README, let me know! Maybe I should make the Kotlin versions a range?

Maybe I should make the Kotlin versions a range?

That seems reasonable.

I've always found these helpful, although I also found them too implicit. So ++ on version ranges.

• https://developer.android.com/build/releases/gradle-plugin#updating-gradle
• https://developer.android.com/build/releases/gradle-plugin#android_gradle_plugin_and_android_studio_compatibility
• https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/compatibility.html

I'm also having "fun" trying to maintain a 3D compatibility matrix and found ranges very useful: https://github.com/TWiStErRob/net.twisterrob.gradle

@bnorm similar question about Kotlin v2.0 - is current version of the power-assert plugin is expected to work with it well?

Also what about ID of the plugin ? I see, that kotlin documentation has different id there:
https://kotlinlang.org/docs/power-assert.html#apply-the-plugin

Support for this plugin, starting with Kotlin 2.0.0, has moved into the Kotlin repository! Part of that move was to make it compatible with Kotlin 2.0 and update the artifact coordinates to align with other official compiler plugins. Everyone should migrate to the official compiler plugin (the documentation you linked) when upgrading to Kotlin 2.0.

This repository/plugin will not be updated to support Kotlin 2.0. I will be releasing a new version which fails Gradle builds and indicates as much in the failure message. I'm hoping to release this version soon and will also provide some documentation in the release notes/README about migrating.

@bnorm thank you very much for your quick and detailed reply and all your efforts in making this excellent powerful assert project!

Support for this plugin, starting with Kotlin 2.0.0, has moved into the Kotlin repository!

Very cool! Congrats.
