QQ: Just want to confirm something real quick: I have this:

interface MyDomainObject {
  val isSomething: Property<Boolean>
}

and I am getting an error like

> Could not create an instance of type MyDomainObject
   > Could not generate a decorated class for type MyDomainObject
      > Cannot have abstract method MyDomainObject.isSomething()

This all has something to do with the fact that we have a property named

isSomething

, right?

Yes. kotlinc creates

public abstract Property<Boolean> isSomething();

Gradle sees that it doesn’t return a boolean value and understands that as a method (instead of a property)

You could also use

@get:JvmName("getIsSomething")

(or getSomething if you prefer), that would help with Groovy DSL while keeping the Kotlin DSL the same (with the

is

prefix).

no you can't https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-31420
