Modern versions of Gradle support configuration caching
to prevent the gradual increase of project size to affect
the overall developer experience of Gradle builds. To
prepare the PKL project, and specificall pkl-gradle, for
configuration support, we introduce an integration test to
vet configuration cache rules, and then perform the necessary
updates to provide configuration cache support.
Motivation:
- `Config` mixes configuration representation with decoding logic
- `Config.fromPklBinary()` does not scale as decoding gains options
(e.g., binary versions or formats)
- The decoding API is inconsistent with `ConfigEvaluator`
Changes:
- Introduce `ConfigDecoder` (with builder) and move
`Config.fromPklBinary()` logic into it
- Deprecate `Config.fromPklBinary()` methods for removal
- Add `ConfigDecoder.forKotlin()` extension function
- Update and improve tests
Result:
- Decoding is separated from `Config` and exposed via a dedicated API
- Decoding can evolve independently (e.g., adding options such as binary
versions or supporting new formats)
- Evaluation and decoding APIs follow a consistent design
Dependabot currently does not update lockfiles in multi-module projects
(see https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/14633)
To work around this issue, we will simply remove our lockfiles, and
change our version catalog to use fully specified versions.
The removal of lockfiles introduces two issues:
1. It is less visible what our dependency graph is
2. Our builds are potentially non-reproducible
To work around this, two mitigations are in place:
1. Enable `failOnDynamicVersions()`, which causes Gradle to fail the
build if any dependencies declare a version range
2. Enable GitHub dependency submission, which provides insight into the
project SBOM
Fixes the following pom.xml issues:
1. pkl-doc and pkl-codegen-java sets the wrong dependency scopes for
pkl-commons-cli/pkl-base
2. pkl-config-kotlin sets the wrong dependency scope for
pkl-config-java-all
Closes#1293Closes#1517
This doesn't really make sense as part of the `Config` API.
We can maybe make class `ConfigUtils` public, but, I don't know how useful it
is anyways; it's more of an implementation detail.
Motivation:
buildSrc is a special-case legacy mechanism.
Gradle recommends using an included build named build-logic instead:
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/best_practices_structuring_builds.html#favor_composite_builds
Changes:
- Rename buildSrc/ to build-logic/
- triggers reformatting
- Replace occurrences of "buildSrc" with "build-logic"
- Include the build-logic build in the main build (via
settings.gradle.kts)
- Apply convention plugins via plugin IDs instead of type-safe accessors
- small tradeoff compared to buildSrc
Result:
- Faster and more isolated builds
- Build logic behaves like a normal build, making it easier to evolve
and reason about

- Enforce Kotlin version via resolution rule (replaces BOM)
- fail if kotlin-stdlib/kotlin-reflect exceed target version
- Replace kotlin-stdlib-jdk8 with kotlin-stdlib (jdk7/8 are now shims)
- Port pkl-core annotation processor to Java (with Codex)
- removes kotlin-stdlib from its compile classpath for better dependency
hygiene (Java module)
- Downgrade clikt for Kotlin 2.2 compatibility
- Upgrade kotlinx-serialization

Motivation
- Enable correct NullAway analysis
- Pick up toolchain fixes and improvements
Toolchains
- Require JDK 25 for JVM toolchain (keep Java 17 runtime compatibility)
- Require Kotlin 2.3.20 for Kotlin toolchain (keep Kotlin 2.2 runtime
compatibility)
- Require JDK 25 for Gradle daemon JVM (via
gradle-daemon-jvm.properties)
- Fix javac and kotlinc warnings from toolchain upgrades
CI
- Bump GitHub workflows to JDK 25
Building Kotlin
- Bump Kotlin language level to 2.2 to match stdlib version
- Consolidate build logic into pklKotlinBase.gradle.kts
- Adopt modern Kotlin plugin syntax
- Fix new kotlinc warnings
- Update ktfmt to 0.62
- first version compatible with Kotlin 2.3.20
- changes formatting compared to 0.61
- Replace dependency resolution rule with BOM alignment
- rule was too broad and interfered with toolchain/runtime separation
Testing
- Expand matrix to JDK 25 (LTS) and 26
- Ensure each matrix task can be run independently
- Fix KotlinCodeGeneratorsTest and EmbeddedExecutorsTest on affected
JDKs
- Disable one test in CliCommandTest on affected JDKs (failure cause
unknown)
Compatibility fixes
- Fix reflective access in DocGenerator on affected JDKs
Build fixes
- Fix misuse of `task.enabled` vs. `report.required`
- Fix `gradlew tasks` on Windows
- Downgrade Spotless to 8.3.0 to (hopefully) work around sporadic
NoClassDefFoundError
Result
- NullAway runs correctly
- Broader JDK test coverage
- More reproducible and potentially faster builds
This avoids an issue where, during the course of development, a file is
touched, thus modifying the copyright year.
Then, undoing the previous change does not undo the copyright year
change.
Motivation:
Facilitate the use of the NullAway checker as part of moving to
JSpecify.
Changes:
- represent "no children" as `List.of()` instead of null
- remove obsolete `children != null` assertions
- NullAway intentionally ignores such assertions
- remove "no children" special-casing where no longer necessary
Result:
- cleaner code with similar performance
- removed a barrier to using the NullAway checker
- Remove dependency org.fusesource.jansi:jansi
- In 4.x, org.fusesource.jansi:jansi was replaced with org.jline:jansi.
Instead of adding this new dependency, this commit replaces Pkl’s single
Jansi usage with custom code that preserves existing behavior. Fixing
existing ANSI quirks is left for a future PR.
- Replace jline-terminal-ansi with jline-terminal-jni
- In 4.x, only -jni and -ffm are available (-ffm requires Java 22+)
- Configure native-image build for jline-terminal-jni
As updating JLine is delicate, I manually tested `pkl repl` and `jpkl
repl` on Windows 11 (using Windows Terminal) and on Ubuntu, and found no
issues. However, I do not have access to a macOS machine.
- Make leaf AST classes final
- Make protected Lexer fields private and add getter
- Split Parser into Parser and ParserImpl
- Using a fresh ParserImpl instance per parse simplifies reasoning
(important) and makes the Parser API thread-safe (nice to have)
- Split GenericParser into GenericParser and GenericParserImpl
- Same motivation as for Parser
Some of these changes will facilitate the move to JSpecify, which has
proven challenging for this package.
- pass `GrammarVersion` to constructor instead of passing it to each
`format` method
- replace `format(Path): String` with `format(Reader, Appendable)`
- instead of picking which overloads besides `format(String): String`
might be useful, offer a single generalized method that streams input
and output
- add `@Throws(IOException::class)` to ensure that Java callers can
catch this exception
- deprecate old methods
Prior to this change, this code would activate powers assertions /
instrumentation permanently:
```pkl
foo: String(contains("a")) | String(contains("b")) = "boo"
```
This is because the `contains("a")` constraint would fail, triggering
power assertions, but the subsequent check of the union's
`contains("b")` branch would succeed.
As observed in #1419, once instrumentation is enabled, all subsequent
evaluation slows significantly.
As with #1419, the fix here is to disable power assertions via
`VmLocalContext` until we know that all union members failed type
checking; then, each member is re-executed with power assertions allowed
to provide the improved user-facing error.
