Is there

kotllin-dsl

version compatible with kotlin plugin

1.4-M1

?

The

kotlin-dsl

plugin is intended to use the version of Kotlin embedded in Gradle. So, no version guaranteed to be compatible. Did you try applying the

kotlin-dsl

plugin on a build that uses the 1.4-M1 of the kotlin gradle plugin? With what Gradle version? Does it fail? How?

Gradle

6.3

with

kotlin-dsl

1.3.5

Kotlin

1.4-M1

Note that you shouldn’t specify a version for the

kotlin-dsl

plugin.

Solution - duplicate default compiler settings

Ok, so if you do that, then it works for you?

No

In any case, there’s not much more you can do except trying and crossing fingers. It’s not supported.

I generate code in

buildSrc

String.replace

don’t replace all entries Some

List

elements are lost

Hum, that sounds like some

stdlib

incompatibilities between 1.3 and 1.4 ... I suppose that’s a “strange error” like the warning says. 🤷‍♂️

Is there any solution for Kotlin Compiler plugin testing in such situations?

You would need a Gradle version that embeds Kotlin 1.4 for all this to work. But that will take time before there’s an official one. We might get to publish some nightlies from a Kotlin 1.4 branch but not immediatly.

kotlin-dsl

applied in

buildSrc

by default. Right?

The

kotlin-dsl

plugin isn’t applied by default, you have to do it:

// buildSrc/build.gradle.kts
plugins { `kotlin-dsl` }

If you do, then my suggestion is to remove this plugin application from your buildSrc, giving up on its features.

No warnings without my plugin, which use

kotlin-dsl

!

Please subscribe to https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/12660, it’ll get updated when we get to it

Is there a supported alternative to the

kotlin-dsl

plugin? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a kotlin buildSrc configuration that doesn’t use it. The need in my case is to be able to define helper functions used in kotlin build scripts in the rest of the project.

I guess

kotlin("jvm")

is the one @russhwolf

Update: •

buildSrc

- no success with

1.4-M1

Invalid

String.replace

Invalid collection operations • Gradle plugin & ordinal projects - no WA required
