hey guys
I would be grateful if anybody could help me.

I added gradle plugins in settings.gradle.kts like this:

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        gradlePluginPortal()
        google()
    }

plugins {
        id(GradlePluginId.GRADLE_PLUGIN) version GradlePluginsVersion.GRADLE_PLUGIN
    }

}

that GradlePluginId and GradlePluginVersion are Kotlin objects, but the problem is they don't resolve with just this message:
_*Unresolved reference: GradlePluginId
Unresolved reference: GradlePluginVersion*_

however I can go to declaration and back to usage through the IDE.


my project settings:

implementation("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.1")
distributionUrl=<https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-bin.zip|https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-bin.zip>

thank you.

They are Kotlin objects, but where are they?

[Vampire]

Besides that this maybe more belongs to #gradle

[Imany]

they are in buildSrc

[Imany]

sorry, I didn't see #gradle

[Vampire]

buildSrc is executed after settings script evaluation in recent Gradle versions, so this no longer works.

[Imany]

thanks, but what is the alternative in recent Gradle versions?

[Vampire]

Publish the code you want to use to some repository and then add that to your script class path

[Vampire]

Or just don't do it but have the settings script hard-coded

[Vampire]

In later versions there might be other alternatives like

or
