A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Hi - I just upgraded from gradle 8.10.2 to 8.11 and this command is now failing with a compilation error:
`./gradlew -Pkotlin.compiler.execution.strategy=in-process -Pkotlin.compiler.runViaBuildToolsApi=true  build --dry-run`
This passes:
`./gradlew build --dry-run`

Anyone know what has changed?

Error in thread.

It seems that those properties break the compilation of my included build (`build-logic`)

Looks like it's specifically `-Pkotlin.compiler.runViaBuildToolsApi=true` that's the issue. Not sure exactly what that flag does, think I copied it from a recommendation on here...

As this is a failure to compile a kotlin DSL file perhaps this should be on the gradle slack rather than here.

Thanks, I’ve reproduced the issue. Will take a look a bit later and explain it.
Anyway, please take into account `kotlin.compiler.runViaBuildToolsApi=true` is an experimental thing and may work incorrectly in some cases

In the meantime, could you also file <https://kotl.in/issue|an issue> please? It seems to be issue of KGP (Kotlin Gradle plugin) rather than Gradle
