how to use the new extension functions in okhttp 4

Question

Hi got this compile error when upgrading from okHttp version 3 to version 4:

val JSON = MediaType.parse("application/json; charset=utf-8")
//Compile Error: Kotlin: Using 'parse(String): MediaType?' is an error. moved to extension function

I changed the call to invoke the extension method as the error points but the method is not recognizes as an String extension.

Here is how i did changed it:

val JSON = "application/json; charset=utf-8".toMediaType()

Adding the import for Companion Objects as posted in tutorial also didn't solve it:

import okhttp3.CipherSuite.Companion.forJavaName

What did i miss here?

Problem

The addition of these extension functions is just hideous. Why every String should be considered a potential URL and every ByteArray a potential HTTP Response? – Giotto

Answer 1

import okhttp3.MediaType.Companion.toMediaType

Problem

is there auto import? Do I have to fill it out all the time? – Hammerskjold

Thats the problem. CTRL + Enter wont do it for you. – Problem

it's due to a bug in Kotlin IntelliJ plugin: youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-15286 supposed to be fixed in 1.3.70 – Moderato

Crazy that this isn't found in the okhttp docs, I was really scratching my head on their recipe page. Thank you. – Subvention
