[Kotlindoc] Missing "dokkaRuntime" configuration

[tlinkowski]

When I apply the kotlindoc plugin, I get the following error: https://travis-ci.com/tlinkowski/tlinkowski-superpom/builds/117405671

Apparently, simply creating an empty dokkaRuntime configuration solves the problem: https://travis-ci.com/tlinkowski/tlinkowski-superpom/builds/117406767

Could you re-run with -s to get a full stacktrace? I'm not sure the problem is on the Kordamp plugin side as there are no explicit mentions of dokkaRuntime in its codebase. It might be related to the version of Kotlin/Dokka.

There you go:

org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':kotlindocHtml'.

Let me know in case you needed me to debug the build to provide you with more details.

There's no mention of org.kordamp on that stacktrace, is it? Have you tried using a different version of Dokka?

No, there isn't.

Have you tried using a different version of Dokka?

I haven't. But I don't even have an explicit dependency on Dokka. I just relied on your Kotlindoc plugin, and its documentation says:

This plugin relies on the org.jetbrains.dokka plugin but does not apply it.

If it's easy to switch the version of Dokka and you'd like me to investigate this, please give me a hint on how I do it (I already found a workaround so I wouldn't like to spend too much time digging into it).

[aalmiray]

The kotlindoc plugins does not apply the dokka plugin as the latter may add configuration that's not suitable for a project.

You can update the dokka version by adding another classpath entry in the buldscript block.
