Hello everyone. Trying to register my arrow-meta plugin as Gradle plugin:

build.gradle.kts:

...
gradlePlugin {
    plugins {
        create("my-plugin") {
            id = "com.github.rcd2772.plugin"
            implementationClass = "com.github.rcd2772.plugin.MetaPlugin"
        }
    }
}

Where MetaPlugin implements Meta interface. And all is done like in (meta-samples)[https://github.com/arrow-kt/arrow-meta-examples]. The only difference is that I add all plugin logic and its runtime dependencies to buildSrc. In order to add it in my app module via plugins { id("com.github.rcd2772.plugin") }
However gradle-plugin stuff(the one responsible for registering plugin with create DSL) says: 'com.github.rcd2772.plugin.MetaPlugin' is neither a plugin or a rule source and cannot be applied

Is there a way to register Meta plugin with gradlePlugin?

Seems like I muddle together gradle plugin and kotlin compiler plugin...

all meta plugins are compiler plugins and need to be registered with the freeCompilerArgs or alternatively with the gradle setup which adds it automatically to the kotlinCompilerClassPath

https://github.com/arrow-kt/arrow-analysis repo may be an example on how to setup a compiler plugin for development and test

Thanks, @raulraja. Yes, I had a success with freeCompilerArgs before, implementing like shown in arrow-meta-samples. OK then.
