Hello all. I am following this video and article(also studying the NowinAndroid sample) on how to write convention plugins and I got to a part that confused me. I just have a simple question please. The settings.gradle.kts and the gradle.properties that are directly under the build-logic module, do I need to manually create them after adding the 'includeBuild("build-logic")' in the root settings.gradle.kts? The wording on the article made it seem as if there was some already existing or auto-generated settings.gradle.kts file that would be there just after creating the build-logic and it didn't state that we needed to manually create it either, so I really got confused. I will post the video and article under this message.

In the video, you can just skip to 12:09

Actually, there are two articles even. Two articles that don't provide so much information on that. Any help would be much appreciated thanks. I want to know my reason for doing anything, so I can better understand how things better work

I have already created them manually, just want to know if I am doing the right thing or not

Unless you have some tool that sets things up for you magically or something, you need to create them yourself, yes. Gradle will not create those files for you.

But this is not really a Kotlin question, so it is off-topic here. 😉

[shock 11]

Ah I see thanks

[shock 11]

But I thought since it was gradle related I could ask it here. Please what is the appropriate channel to ask this question in case of next time

[Vampire]

In such open communities like this, always consider channel and server topics, not only channel names.
If you would have done, it should hopefully be clear that it is none on this Slack and also where to ask instead. ;-)

[shock 11]

Alright then. That is noted. Also spotted that there is a gradle slack where we can ask general gradle questions

[Vampire]

Yes, that's mentioned in the channel subject here 😉

I'll get someone to fix it. In the meantime you can use https://join.slack.com/t/gradle-community/shared_invite/zt-2rwuxr9u9-E7DWAo5rGZbz_Rjkx_cJ~A
