Hi! Does anyone have any idea where to apply this comment: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/20084#issuecomment-1060822638? I'm facing the same error, and I tried using that in my root module, app module, buildSrc convention plugin, but I still keep on getting the same error...

[dave08]

I tried using the pluginId w/o the version everywhere and it seems to work... but where is gradle pulling the version from then?

[Javier]

Avoid using alias and do get() from the libs… and pick the id. Apply it using id(libs…)

[Javier]

I am mobile so I cannot share a better snippet, sorry

[dave08]

Where do the versions of those plugins come from then 🤔?

[Javier]

if you are doing implementation in buildSrc it will be picked from there

[dave08]

But I don't specify the version there either...

[Javier]

share what are you doing

[dave08]

root:

plugins {
    id(libs.plugins.kotlin.jvm.get().pluginId) apply false
    id(libs.plugins.android.application.get().pluginId) apply false
//    alias(libs.plugins.android.library) apply false
//    alias(libs.plugins.android.test) apply false
    alias(libs.plugins.firebase.crashlytics) apply false
    alias(libs.plugins.firebase.perf) apply false
    alias(libs.plugins.gms) apply false
    id(libs.plugins.ksp.get().pluginId) apply false
    id(libs.plugins.hilt.get().pluginId) apply false
}

class AndroidAppPlugin : Plugin<Project> {
    override fun apply(target: Project) {
        with(target) {
            val libs = the<LibrariesForLibs>()
            with(pluginManager) {
                apply("com.android.application")
                apply("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android")
                apply("dagger.hilt.android.plugin")
                apply("com.google.devtools.ksp")
            }

[dave08]

class AndroidLibraryPlugin : Plugin<Project> {
    override fun apply(target: Project) {

        with(target) {
            val libs = the<LibrariesForLibs>()

            with(pluginManager) {
                apply("com.android.library")
                apply("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android")
                apply("dagger.hilt.android.plugin")
                apply("com.google.devtools.ksp")
            }

buildSrc build.gradle,.kts:

dependencies {
    implementation(files(libs.javaClass.superclass.protectionDomain.codeSource.location))
    implementation("com.android.tools.build:gradle:" + libs.versions.agp.get())
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:" + libs.versions.kotlin.get())

[Javier]

which plugin has the problem?

[dave08]

Right now everything seems to build ok, but I don't seem to specify the versions anywhere (when I tried specifying it even in one of those places, then even the gradle sync for Android Studio failed ...)

[dave08]

So I'm wondering where the versions DO get resolved?

[Javier]

which plugin had the issue

[dave08]

Now I tried removing the version from the ksp plugin but got:

org.gradle.api.plugins.UnknownPluginException: Plugin [id: 'com.google.devtools.ksp', apply: false] was not found in any of the following sources:

[dave08]

Same with hilt... even though here they recommend that (I had exactly this problem...): https://github.com/google/dagger/issues/4048#issuecomment-1864237679

I'm really not understanding something here...

[dave08]

Wow, I think refreshVersions was my problem again... I forgot to comment out the Android plugin's version there... it could be that it caused different versions to be resolved in the project. I'm compiling now... 🤞🏼

[dave08]

Nope still not working 🤕

[Vampire]

So I'm wondering where the versions DO get resolved?

Where you have alias(libs.plugins...) because the entry coming from the version catalog has the version

[Vampire]

Aaaand, your question is off-topic. Please always consider channel and server topics on open communities, not only channel names. 😉

[dave08]

For android application plugin, I don't use alias anywhere... yeah, I wasn't sure if this was on-topic, things are sometimes a bit on the brink of Kotlin or not Kotlin... (and I have tried other communities in the past... they're not as friendly and helpful as here 😊... and it's not so nice to get answers in Groovy when you're writing Kotlin in Gradle scripts, IF they answer at all...)

[Vampire]

I can guarantee you, that the Gradle slack that is also mentioned in the channel topic here is much more helpful than this here 🙂
And Kotlin DSL is the default DSL, so if someone gives an answer in Groovy DSL, tell them to get rid of that old shit. 😄

[Vampire]

Maybe not so much for Android specific things as I'm not really into Android development. 😄

[Vampire]

For android application plugin, I don't use alias anywhere

Well, hard to guess without seeing the actual build 🙂

[Vampire]

Ah, no, no need to guess

[Vampire]

In buildSrc you have an implementation dependency on AGP just as @Javier said already way up

[Javier]

When I used buildSrc I ended up adding all plugins as implementation there and the root project has no apply false plugins.

[Vampire]

Yeah, that's pretty pointless then, just a no-op
