Hi all, can anybody tell me how to use the version catalog in buildSrc. It is not recognising in buildSrc gradle.

[Messias Junior]

Right now you cant. https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/15383

[Ciaran Sloan]

would be better posted in #gradle

People have posted a work around in that issue.
If you don’t want to use the work around, the only Gradle supported option is using find${item} where ${item} is the library, version, etc. It works, but it’s a good bit harder for people to discover easily if they are not aware of this nuance between precompiled usage of version catalogs versus what you’d see in a module level build script.

Thanks for your valuable responses.

We use the workaround from the issue for a couple of years and have no issue

[itnoles]

[Prashant]

Yes there is few code which is required
