hi, I faced an interesting Kotlin/JS + Gradle-related problem. When using Kotlin/JS with centralized repositories declaration (repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.PREFER_SETTINGS)), NodeJS and Yarn cannot be downloaded because the custom Ivy repos added by the Kotlin/JS plugin here and here are ignored. I had to add them explicitly here as a workaround: https://github.com/typesafegithub/github-workflows-kt/blob/e469fdd7b9f09f276124d3b499cbd2a933547e8b/buildSrc/repositories.settings.gradle.kts#L[…]30 is it a known problem?

[Adam S]

yes, it’s a known issue https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-51379

[Piotr Krzemiński]

any idea how could it be gracefully handled? my take is that the Kotlin plugin should somehow provide a list of extra repositories that it needs, so that one can define them in the central place

[Adam S]

yes, that would be my preference. There should be a plugin for settings.gradle(.kts) files that you can apply, and it would provide helper functions for adding the repositories.

I started making one, but I didn’t release it…

[Piotr Krzemiński]

ideally it should be a companion plugin for the kotlin("js") one, but a third-party one as a PoC would be a nice step forward!

[Adam S]

this the example usage, showing how to add all the repos.

If anyone would like to help out, I can share the code and we can publish it.

settings.gradle.kts.kt

[Adam S]

and yeah, it would be best if it was folded into the JetBrains plugins

[Piotr Krzemiński]

I suggest throwing this idea into the comments under the issue you shared, along with the source code

@Ivan Kubyshkin [JetBrains] it’s already tracked as https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-51379 right?

Oh, sorry, I missed it.
