Any idea how to retrieve the version defined in build.gradle.kts so that i can use it in my code ?

i wanted to try org.gradle.api.getVersion() but gradle is an unresolved reference so i’m doing something wrong. i’m not even sure i’m supposed to do that or not

there is no built-in option since Java/Jvm/Kotlin does not know anything about the build system at runtime. But you simply could put the version into a Kotlin file and add this file to your srcDir

Another option is the manifest file, but AFAIK a code constant should be more performant than reading the manifest file at runtime

no it’s ok. and i’m using kotlin/JS so it’s even worse :slightly_smiling_face:

You could also use the magnificent <https://github.com/gmazzo/gradle-buildconfig-plugin|BuildConfig plugin> which allows you to declare constants in your gradle build file that are then visible inside your code. It's great if you need access to your package/version number/etc.

there is even a kts js exemple. nice ! thank you
