Gradle buildSrc version variable fails to resolve with import but correctly resolves with qualified name
I have a buildSrc folder with a build.gradle.kts file. It looks like this:
plugins {
kotlin-dsl
}

repositories {
jcenter()
}

It has a Versions file
package app.itsyour.cats.buildsrc

object Versions {
const val androidGradlePlugin = "7.0.0-alpha12"
const val kotlin = "1.4.30"
}

Then I consume it from the top level gradle file
import app.itsyour.cats.buildsrc.Versions

buildscript {
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {...
