Hello I ve created a `src main` folder inside the `buildSrc`

Question

Hello I ve created a `src main` folder inside the `buildSrc` folder Is there a way I can access to the files inside `src main` from the `build gradle kts` file

louiscad · Answer

Yes out of the box except for the `build gradle kts` file of the `buildSrc` itself

Matiasdelbel · Answer

Ok I meant to the `build gradle kts` file of the `buildSrc` So there isn t a way to access to the `src` content from that file thumbsdown cry

louiscad · Answer

< Matiasdelbel> The `build gradle kts` of the buildSrc defines how the files in buildSrc will be treated so that s expectable

louiscad · Answer

I think you want both the egg and the chicken to be the origin

Matiasdelbel · Answer

hahaha yeah My idea was to split the `build gradle kts` and I thought I could do it this way

louiscad · Answer

You can make a gradle plugin in another project and use it in buildSrc if that s worth the effort

Matiasdelbel · Answer

Yes I was able to do that And also I was able to define the plugin inside the `src main` on the `buildSrc` of the same project But I can t find the way to do the same with the dependencies

Matiasdelbel · Answer

Here is an example <https github com matiasdelbel android zygote multi modules blob master buildSrc build gradle kts L22>

Matiasdelbel · Answer

I want to move all the dependencies out of the build gradle file

louiscad · Answer

Why and where do you want to put them

Matiasdelbel · Answer

Where I don t know laughing Why Some plugins versions need to be consistent with the dependencies that then I added to the modules For example hilt `implementation com google dagger hilt android gradle plugin 2 28 alpha ` When a stable version of hilt is been released I only want to change a single file

louiscad · Answer

I think you d greatly benefit from < CP5659EL9|gradle refresh versions> that does exactly that and also finds the updated dependencies I need to publish a half breaking release this weekend with some improvements should I let you know when it s up

Matiasdelbel · Answer

Yes please Thanks If I want to use it must all my dependencies be on a `build gradle kts`

louiscad · Answer

Specified there I think it s preferrable Now the string values can be defined elsewhere including in a gradle plugin and the versions can be defined in another place

Matiasdelbel · Answer

Ok thanks for the answer And please let me know when you release a new version slightly smiling face

louiscad · Answer

I set up a reminder slightly smiling face

louiscad · Answer

Hi < Matiasdelbel> I spent some time updating the docs and making a few changes this weekend but I didn t have the time to publish a plain release yet it requires to write the changelog and a few other things There s a dev version though 0 9 5 dev 003 that you can use All the new docs for setup including for dev versions and usage are reachable from there Please let me know if you have any questions or encounter any friction point
