Anybody has a clue why after upgrading to AGP 4.1.0, it cannot see constants from ext?

Parameter specified as non-null is null: method com.android.build.gradle.BaseExtension.compileSdkVersion, parameter version

android {
    compileSdkVersion compileSdk
    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion minSdk.o2
        targetSdkVersion targetSdk
    ...

ext {
    compileSdk = 29
    ...

It's worked before the update

Use ext.compileSdk to reference it...bit me too...

[kenkyee]

This has nothing to do with Gradle FYI

[ursus]

android {
    compileSdkVersion ext.compileSdk

> Cannot get property 'compileSdk' on extra properties extension as it does not exist

:/

I apply the config.gradle where the ext block lies here in root project gradle file (so its visible from everywhere)

buildscript {
    apply from: "config.gradle"

[ursus]

maybe thats not valid anymore?

[kenkyee]

Ohhh... That was it....apply it from outside as well.

Forgot...been a while since I did this...

[ursus]

outside?

[kenkyee]

Outside buildscript

okay turns out I only had to refer to the ext vars as rootProject.ext.foo

but only for the things in android block; dependencies works as usual..weird

[kenkyee]

We have code that loops through all our modules and imports the dependencies instead.

That way, you don't need to reference rootProject
