Kotlin Compilation Error on Replit
Kotlin compilation fails with type or null safety errors. Build aborts before completion.
Kotlin's strict null safety and type system catch errors at compile time.
Error Messages You Might See
Type mismatch
Un-nullable type is expected
Unresolved reference
Common Causes
- Nullable type not properly checked (lateinit without init)
- Type mismatch (String vs Int)
- Class or function not found
- Kotlin stdlib not in dependencies
- Plugin version incompatible with Kotlin version
How to Fix It
Check error message for line number and fix type/null issues. Ensure kotlin-stdlib in dependencies. Use lateinit var with caution. Check Kotlin version in gradle matches plugin. For Spring Boot, use kotlin-spring plugin for no-arg constructors. Use -Xjsr305=strict for strict null handling.

15+ years shipping production infrastructure for startups. Former CTO at qed.builders (acquired by The Sandbox).
Cursor ambassador and agentic tooling builder.
I've scaled systems, automated deployments, and built observability tools for AI coding workflows. I specialize in taking vibe-coded apps from broken prototype to production-ready: fixing Supabase auth/RLS, Stripe integrations, deployment pipelines, and cleaning up AI-generated spaghetti.
I build tools in this space (agentprobe, claudebin, micode) and understand both sides: how AI generates code and why it breaks.

You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.
