Anyone ever seen an error like Error:Could not get unknown property 'org' for project ':library' of type org.gradle.api.Project. when using dokka? Trying to do

task dokkaJavadoc(type: org.jetbrains.dokka.gradle.DokkaTask) {
            outputFormat = 'javadoc'
            outputDirectory = "$buildDir/javadoc"
        }

        task androidDokkaJar(type: Jar, dependsOn: dokkaJavadoc) {
            classifier = 'javadoc'
            from dokkaJavadoc.outputDirectory
        }

kyle: Which gradle version do you using?

[kyle]

gradle-4.0-milestone-1

[semoro]

Strange, just checked, no problem for me

[semoro]

Did you configured buildscript?

[semoro]

buildscript {
    ext.dokka_version = '0.9.14'
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath "org.jetbrains.dokka:dokka-gradle-plugin:${dokka_version}"
    }
}

apply plugin: 'org.jetbrains.dokka'

[kyle]

yep, have that. let me try to get a simple repro.

[kyle]

it happens when those two blocks are in a separate file included via an apply from:

[kyle]

apply from: rootProject.file('scripts/test.gradle')

[semoro]

That's because buildscript for applied file are undefined

[kyle]

is it? ive never had to define a build script block for applied gradle files. It seems to have no problem resolving the plugin itself

[semoro]

Added buildscript to applied file, and got no problem

[kyle]

interesting, will give it a go

[semoro]

Anyway - it's gradle problem, seems not with dokka itself

[kyle]

seems so

I’ve had a similar issue. I solved it by defining the task slightly differently:

def dokkaJavadoc = task ("dokkaJavadoc", type: org.jetbrains.dokka.gradle.DokkaTask){...}
