I want to add a plugin to the plugin registry, however it requires the KSP plugin. Is there any way to add KSP with the proper version number?

gradle:
  plugins:
    - id: com.google.devtools.ksp
      version: DEPENDS_ON_KOTLIN_VERSION

hey, looks like you'll need a change in the registry for this... looking at KSP, you'd need to introduce some dynamic concatenated version of kotlin and KSP

for now, you can just default to this version variable by adding it in plugins/gradle.properties as ksp=2.0.21-1.0.28 then doing this in the manifest:

gradle:
  plugins:
    - id: com.google.devtools.ksp
      version: $ksp

I can introduce something later for the dynamic concatenation

fantastic, this will be enough for me, thanks 🙂

Hi @Bruce Hamilton, I forgot something the last time I asked this question.

Sure, I can add KSP to the plugin list. However, how can I add a KSP instruction?

For example, I need to add this to build.gradle.kts:

ksp("dev.nesk.akkurate:akkurate-ksp-plugin:0.11.0")

the real issue here is the ksp function, I can't express this in the declarative configuration of the registry

[Bruce Hamilton]

Oh right, you can just open a PR without it and mention the issue, then I'll introduce the injection site for the registry

that's perfect, thank you 🙂
