Is generateInterfaces not supported for kotlin ?

[lorefnon]

When I select generateInterfaces as described in this section and the language is set as kotlin, nothing is generated. But on switching to java, I can see all the interfaces getting generated correctly.

This feature is only available tor Java and not kotlin. We will update the docs to clarify better.

It should just generate Java classes for the client API when in a Kotlin project. Is that not what you're seeing?

We moved away from generating Kotlin specific client API classes because there was no benefit to it compared to generating Java classes. But it should still generate those Java classes obviously.

I am not generating client api. This is about generating interfaces instead of data classes or pojos for types defined in the schema.

Using java interfaces in kotlin is a bit of an inconvenience (though not a huge one) because kotlin won't allow overriding of getters in java interfaces by properties in kotlin class (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-6653). So one needs to define getters with backing properties in kotlin impl.

Sorry, I completely misread your original question.

The generateInterfaces was only implemented for Java. It seemed to make more sense there.
That doesn't mean it wouldn't work for Kotlin, but realistically we're probably not going to prioritize adding it.
I'm closing this issue/question, but if anyone would provide a PR for this we would definitely consider it.
