I’m trying to create a custom gradle init script:

package art.me.init

import java.net.URI

apply<InitPlugin>()

class InitPlugin : Plugin<Gradle> {
   override fun apply(gradle: Gradle) {
   ...
   }
}

But when running the script it get:

* What went wrong:
Failed to apply plugin class 'art.me.init.Me_init_gradle$InitPlugin'.
> Could not create plugin of type 'InitPlugin'.
   > Class Me_init_gradle.InitPlugin is a non-static inner class.

Though according to https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/init_scripts.html#sec:init_script_plugins it should work. Can anyone help?

I just tried with

apply<Foo>()

class Foo : Plugin<Gradle> {
    override fun apply(gradle: Gradle) {
        println("FOO")
    }
}

in an init script and it worked just fine. What Gradle version do you use?

i’m on V 8.1.1

make sure you don't have any accidental

project

references

Probably not

project

as it is an init plugin. But probably something else from the init script context that then makes it a non-static class, yes. 🙂
