Hi here, i've been trying to convert Kover to a gradle convention plugin but i can't get KoverReportExtension to resolve in my script. I have imported the kover gradle plugin in my build.gradle and can resolve KoverReportTask

package codequality

import kotlinx.kover.api.KoverTaskExtension

import org.gradle.api.Plugin
import org.gradle.api.Project
import org.gradle.kotlin.dsl.configure

class KoverPlugin : Plugin<Project> {
    override fun apply(target: Project) {
        with(target) {
            pluginManager.apply(
                "org.jetbrains.kotlinx.kover"
            )
            configureKover()
        }
    }
}

private fun Project.configureKover() {
    extensions.configure<KoverTaskExtension> {
 
    }
    
}

private fun Project.koverReport(block: KoverReportExtension.() -> Unit) {
    extensions.configure<KoverReportExtension>(block)
}

Hi,
which version are you using?

[Rafs]

I'm using the latest version 0.7.4

[Sergey Shanshin]

Also, in 0.7.4 version, the KoverTaskExtension class is deprecated.

Is the code you provided the content of the precompiled convention plugin?

[Rafs]

Yes it is. I'm trying to convert a gradle script to a kotlin convention plugin and that was the type i saw in the inlay hints from android studio

[Sergey Shanshin]

Could you look at this example, is this approach suitable for you?

The 0.7.1 version was used here, but you can see how the convention plugins are used for Kover

[Rafs]

why is CoverageExtension an open class in the example?

[Sergey Shanshin]

In Gradle, extensions should not be final classes

@Rafs
You need to add Kover plugin as a regular dependency to you convention plugin project

kover-plugin = { group = "org.jetbrains.kotlinx", name = "kover-gradle-plugin", version.ref = "kover" }

In build-logic/../build.gradle.kts project you need to add:

dependencies {
    compileOnly(libs.kover.plugin)
}

[Rafs]

Thanks @Nick Kleban, I was missing the dependency
