在IntelliJ IDEA中编译错误：“没有MessageCollector”

Question

Edit: Solved. See @acdsee comment to see how .

Since when I updated IntelliJ IDEA from 2017.3.5 to 2018.1, every project I start throws this error:

Answer 1

I had the same problem with Kotlin 1.2.40 and Java JDK 10. After every change in the code, I had to rebuild the whole project to get rid of the compilation error. Deleting of the out folder did help only until the next change. I was looking for the way to downgrade the Kotlin plugin to the previous version, but have found a better solution.

My IDEA project didn't have Gradle and I was able to solve the problem by adding Gradle to the project.

Just close the Project, put the following file "build.gradle" to the root folder and re-import the Project in the IntelliJ IDEA.

My file build.gradle looks so:

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.40'

    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    }
}

apply plugin: 'kotlin'

sourceSets {
    main.java.srcDirs += 'src'
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8"
}

It works well now with the Plugin Version 1.2.40. A downgrade to a previous version is not necessary.

Answer 2

Promoting the answer in the comments to an answer, because it's the actual answer:

This appears to be a bug in the IntelliJ Kotlin plugin v1.2.40 and how it interacts with Java 10. See here . The solution is to upgrade to v1.2.41.

(Don't switch your project to building with Gradle like the other answer suggests just because the plugin is broken. That's weird.)
