Hii, I'm facing this error while running gradle 4.4.1 on kotlin:

* Where:
Build file '/home/samyak/gsoc/kotlin/kotlin-1.3.30/kotlin-1.3.30/prepare/compiler-embeddable/build.gradle' line: 30

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':kotlin-compiler-embeddable'.
> No signature of method: static EmbeddableKt.compilerDummyForDependenciesRewriting() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String, build_3iru8x0j1kdz5fc4ppmd4bywe$_run_closure2) values: [compilerDummy, build_3iru8x0j1kdz5fc4ppmd4bywe$_run_closure2@51ac48b3]
  Possible solutions: compilerDummyForDependenciesRewriting(org.gradle.api.Project, java.lang.String, kotlin.jvm.functions.Function1)

* Try:
Run with --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

I'm not able to debug this bit, any help is appreciated.

what this is telling you is that instead of calling compilerDummyForDependenciesRewriting(String, closure),
you should call
compilerDummyForDependenciesRewriting(Project, String, closure)
i.e., you are missing the first argument, project, when calling that function

Here's how the function is called:

EmbeddableKt.compilerDummyJar(project, jar, EmbeddableKt.compilerDummyForDependenciesRewriting(project, "compilerDummy") {
   it.classifier = "dummy"
})

It throws error:

> No signature of method: static EmbeddableKt.compilerDummyJar() is applicable for argument types: (org.gradle.api.internal.project.DefaultProject_Decorated, org.gradle.api.tasks.bundling.Jar_Decorated, com.github.jengelman.gradle.plugins.shadow.tasks.ShadowJar_Decorated) values: [project ':kotlin-compiler-embeddable', task ':kotlin-compiler-embeddable:jar', ...]
  Possible solutions: compilerDummyJar(org.gradle.api.Project, org.gradle.jvm.tasks.Jar, kotlin.jvm.functions.Function1)

Here's how the function is defined: https://salsa.debian.org/samyak-jn/kotlin-1.3.30/-/blob/master/buildSrc/src/main/kotlin/embeddable.kt#L71

it looks like the last argument you are passing in is com.github.jengelman.gradle.plugins.shadow.tasks.ShadowJar_Decorated instead of kotlin.jvm.functions.Function1 from what the error message says.
