Dokka: Link to Android Support Library failed

[TimoPtr]

This is my configuration for dokka (0.9.16-eap-3) :

dokka {
    moduleName = 'app'
    outputFormat = 'html'
    outputDirectory = "$rootDir/javadoc"
    jdkVersion = 8

    externalDocumentationLink {
        url = new URL("https://developer.android.com/reference/")
    }
    externalDocumentationLink {
        url = new URL("http://reactivex.io/RxJava/javadoc/")
    }
    kotlinTasks {
        defaultKotlinTasks() + [project(":LIB1").compileDebugKotlin] + [project(":LIB2").compileDebugKotlin] + compileStagingDebugKotlin
    }
}

If I did this, I can't click on ViewModel or AppCompatActivity for instance, so I try :

dokka {
    moduleName = 'app'
    outputFormat = 'html'
    outputDirectory = "$rootDir/javadoc"
    jdkVersion = 8

    externalDocumentationLink {
        url = new URL("https://developer.android.com/reference/")
    }
    externalDocumentationLink {
        url = new URL("https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/")
    }
    externalDocumentationLink {
        url = new URL("https://developer.android.com/reference/android/arch/")
    }
    externalDocumentationLink {
        url = new URL("http://reactivex.io/RxJava/javadoc/")
    }
    kotlinTasks {
        defaultKotlinTasks() + [project(":LIB1").compileDebugKotlin] + [project(":LIB2").compileDebugKotlin] + compileStagingDebugKotlin
    }
}

And the result is clickable but the URL is wrong like for AppCompatActivity :
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/android/support/v7/app/AppCompatActivity.html

Use following workaround:

    externalDocumentationLink {
        url = new URL("https://developer.android.com/reference/")
        packageListUrl = new URL("https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/package-list")
    }

Perfect ! Thank you

I use command line building on windows 10 cmd, and what is wrong ??

java -jar dokka-fatjar.jar ..\MyTestDokka\app\src\main\java\home\testDokka -output .\kdoc-gfm -format gfm -nodeprecated -links "https://developer.android.com/reference/"^^"https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/package-list"
pause

I tried also

https://developer.android.com/reference/^https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/package-list

and

"https://developer.android.com/reference/"^"https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/package-list"

error shown like this

~~~ some log

Analysing sources and libraries...
ERROR: error: source file or directory not found: -links
ERROR: error: source file or directory not found: https://developer.android.com/reference/^https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/package-list

java -jar dokka-fatjar.jar ..\MyTestDokka\app\src\main\java\home\testDokka -output .\kdoc-gfm -format gfm -nodeprecated -links "https://developer.android.com/reference/^^https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/package-list"

Which Dokka version are you using?

[mgcation]

I use this Dokka.jar (download link) which located at read.me#using-command-line

it seems like 0.9.10/dokka-fatjar.jar

[mgcation]

I just modify download link 0.9.10 to 0.9.15, and it look like works. but...

input >

java -jar dokka-fatjar-0.9.15.jar ..\MyTestDokka\app\src\main\java\home\testDokka -output .\kdoc-gfm -format gfm -nodeprecated -links "https://developer.android.com/reference/^https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/package-list"

OK, I see, means that incorrect classpath provided, not that links incorrect
