Hi, I am using an includedBuild to develop a kotlin compiler plugin. The subplugin however is ways being “fetched” and not using the artifact from the included build, which is requiring me to publish to mavenlocal or another repo for testing. Is there a way to have the kotlin compiler use the artifact from the build?

[Justin Tullgren]

including the build in the pluginManagement section doesn’t have a substitution option, so it looks like the build class path doesn’t have the artifact and is looking for the gradle coordinate of the kotlin sub plugin provided by the gradle plugin.

You probably need to include at top-level instead or additionally.

[Justin Tullgren]

i tried both

[Justin Tullgren]

no luck unfortunately

[Vampire]

Can you maybe knit an MCVE?

[Justin Tullgren]

i’ll try. i don’t have a place to host though

[Vampire]

GitHub?

[Vampire]

Or package it as zip and attach here

[Justin Tullgren]

k, let me get it together

Well, it is as I suspected.
Not having instructions how to use the MCVE I did gw build and got

Execution failed for task ':app:compileKotlin'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:kotlinCompilerPluginClasspathMain'.
   > Could not find com.example:plugin-kotlin:0.0.1.
     Searched in the following locations:
       - file:/C:/Users/bkautler/.m2/repository/com/example/plugin-kotlin/0.0.1/plugin-kotlin-0.0.1.pom
       - <https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/example/plugin-kotlin/0.0.1/plugin-kotlin-0.0.1.pom>
       - <https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/example/plugin-kotlin/0.0.1/plugin-kotlin-0.0.1.pom>
     Required by:
         project :app

This means it is needed as a dependency in a normal configuration.
So I just added the includeBuild("buildLogic") top-level and it went on until the next error which is during app kotlin compilation after plugin-kotlin was built already:

[Justin Tullgren]

where did you add includeBuild(“buildLogic”)? settings.gradle.kts or build.gradle.kts?

[Vampire]

Well, one compiles, the other not 😄

[Justin Tullgren]

This e: Working is showing it working, i’m throwing an error in the example

[Vampire]

Yeah, thought so

[Justin Tullgren]

ok so just including it worked, then something in my setup is incorrect. i’ll have to mess around again

[Vampire]

👌

[Justin Tullgren]

thanks!
