In

build.gradle

for a plugin I can specify other plugins it depends, e.g.

intellij {
	plugins = ["github", "junit"]
}

however it doesn’t work with

build.gradle.kts

, e.g.

configure<IntelliJPluginExtension> {
    plugins = arrayOf("") // <-- Val cannot be reassigned
}

Is it a bug?

Not a bug, but a usability issue https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/issues/712

👍 Thanks a lot!

Property assignment is now enabled by default in Gradle

8.2-rc-2

, so you can now write

plugins = listOf(...)

directly.
