Hello 👋🏼
I’m trying to set a lintBaseline, following the docs, I should use:

lint {
   baseline file("lint-baseline.xml")
}

But this give me this error:

* What went wrong:
'void com.android.build.api.dsl.Lint.baseline(java.io.File)'

While using

lint {
   baseline(file("lint-baseline.xml"))
}

Give me this error:

Unable to find method ''void com.android.build.api.dsl.Lint.baseline(java.io.File)''
'void com.android.build.api.dsl.Lint.baseline(java.io.File)'

Anyone know how to solve this? Which is the correct(current) syntax for a .gradle.kts file?

I believe it should be:

lint {
   baseline = file("lint-baseline.xml")
}

because baseline is a property not a method.
Also, there is a dedicated channel for this type of questions #gradle, it is off-topic here.

weird 🤨 what AGP version are you on?

[Luca Nicoletti]

8.0.2

[MR3Y]

There is no function called baseline in AGP's Lint API 8.0.2. try to gradle sync & see if it helps.

I tried sync already

[MR3Y]

what if you tried to provide the string path "lint-baseline.xml" directly as a parameter?

baseline("lint-baseline.xml")

looks weird! the error message was suggesting that, my last advice is posting this question in #gradle you might get helpful answers there.
