Hi all, i'm trying to setup one of my kotlin proje...

# gradle

[tim]

Hi all, i'm trying to setup one of my kotlin projects with git submodules like so:

build.gradle.kts
projects/api
...
projects/core <-- a git submodule
projects/core/gradle.build.kts // file in question

Normally, I have the parent project specify plugin dependency versions. This works fine for everything except for core. Because Core is a submodule I can clone it and work on it in isolation, where in that case I need to specify plugin versions: kotlin("jvm") version("...") apply(true) but when core is consumed as a submodule and the parent project specifies the version i get a build error from gradle: Plugin request for plugin already on the classpath must not include a version

Any suggestions on how to approach/workaround this?

[no]

what happens when you don't include the version?

[no]

you might also try composite builds: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/composite_builds.html

[tim]

If no version is included I get a build error: Plugin [id: 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm'] was not found in any of the following sources:

If it git submodule, it’s probably a separate gradle project, cannot be included as gradle module in multimodule project (by adding include to settings.gradle), you should probably use composite build instead

[tim]

Will check them out thanks
