How do I configure CommonExtension in a precompiled script plugin? I am getting

Extension of type 'CommonExtension<?, ?, ?, ?>' does not exist.

configure<CommonExtension<*, *, *, *>> { 
    defaultConfig {
        ...
    }
}

Find out which plugin adds it and wrap it in a pluginManager.withPlugin(...) { ... } call

Thank you. I mean I am creating common Gradle scripts as follows and want each other scripts inherit from a parent one. Parent one tries to configure CommonExtension and I am getting the above exception

apply<LibraryCommonPlugin>()

configure<CommonExtension<*, *, *, *>> {

    defaultConfig {
        ...
    }

    testOptions {
        unitTests {
            isReturnDefaultValues = true
        }
    }

    buildTypes {
        getByName(TYPE_DEBUG) {
            isMinifyEnabled = false
        }
        maybeCreate(TYPE_INTERNAL).apply {
            isMinifyEnabled = true
        }
        getByName(TYPE_RELEASE) {
            isMinifyEnabled = true
        }
    }
}

Well, I cannot guess what LibraryCommonPlugin is.
But I guess it is another convention plugin of yours that applies the plugin that should add the CommonExtension whatever that it, right?
Then it should actually work from the information you showed.
The error might be in the details you are not showing.

Btw. from the syntax and the Slack you are asking from, I'd say you are using Kotlin DSL.
So I'd recommend you do not use the legacy apply method, but properly use the plugins { ... } block, which also works to apply sibling precompiled script plugins.
Because if you do, then you also get the type-safe accessors generated and can use the whateverExtensionThatIs { ... } syntax instead of configure<CommonExtension<*, *, *, *>> { ... }.
