@Rob Elliot Hi Rob! But i can’t find ‘kotlin-gradle-plugin’ information. What does this library do?

[Roeniss Moon]

actually, my problem is another one though…

kotlin scripting plugin: applied in the non-supported environment (error received: Cannot query the value of task ‘:compileQuerydslKotlin’ property ‘sourceSetName$kotlin_gradle_plugin’ because it has no value available.)

I’m facing this issue. I can’t build my gradle (spring) project after I added querydsl dependencies…

This artifact is Kotlin Gradle Plugin that applied in Gradle builds...

[Rob Elliot]

The kotlin-gradle-plugin jar (it’s not really a library as such…) is the Gradle Plugin that allows Gradle to support Kotlin. It’s what gets applied to your project when you put this in build.kts:

plugins {
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.6.0"
}

The page I linked to is the documentation on how to use it in a gradle script.

I know nothing about querydsl or how you got a compileQuerydslKotlin task.

I understand. Thank you guys !!

Well it also is a library. If you want to configure your project from a precopiled script you actually need to apply it as a library to get it into your classpath

seems a hard work 😲
