Ppl, do you know if I can import a .gradle.kts file inside a .gradle file?

[kevindmoore]

I don't think the two can go exist. I was slowly trying to move over to kts but I couldn't import older gradle files. Ended up having to convert all files

[hussan]

can i import .gradle.kts functions and use it inside a .kt?

[rocketraman]

You tried apply(from = ...)?

[tapchicoma]

migrate it to convention plugin

Dont know aaaaabsolutely for sure but it might be just as simple as using apply from early enough, similar as described here https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/kotlin_dsl.html#using_a_groovy_script just the other way around. We used it the other way around a lot, so i expect that to just work.

You can apply a script from another one whatever the language.

[eskatos]

From a .gradle script:

apply from: 'path/to/script.gradle.kts'

[eskatos]

From a .gradle.kts script:

apply(from = "path/to/script.gradle")

There are caveats when applying a kotlin script from a groovy one with regards to dynamic vs. static languages though.

Groovy dynamism that rely on reflection allows you to do a lot of things that are illegal in a statically compiled language such as Kotlin.

You’ll face unresolved references and may have to rely on reflection.
