Hello, I am trying to add to my buildSrc file the dependency for `org.gradle.kotlin.dsl`  but I can't find it.

I tried this, <https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.gradle/gradle-kotlin-dsl/6.1.1>, but it is not found

Or a way to access to the implementation, testImplementation, etc. accessors without using them as string

Have a read at <https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/kotlin_dsl.html#sec:kotlin-dsl_plugin>
You don’t “depend on the kotlin-dsl”, instead you apply the plugin documented above.

Hi <@U19P7SPFW>, I know it but I am creating my own plugins inside `buildSrc`, then I got `implementation` cant be used directly so I have to create my own function directly to use it. This can be tedious because there are a lot of functions, even I have two different `implementation` ...
```fun DependencyHandler.implementation(dependencyNotation: Any): Dependency? {
    return add("implementation", dependencyNotation)
}```

if you want to get the type safe accessors generated you need to use the `plugins {}` block to apply other plugins

assuming the screenshot above is from a precompiled script plugin

But if I use the `plugin {}` block then later it can't compile where I use
```plugins {
    MyPlugin
}```

it should work if your plugin ID is `MyPlugin`

ah no, for plugins that are siblings, you need to spell the ID
```plugins {
    id("MyPlugin")
}```

I have not added a id directly, I only put the code of the screenshot inside MyPlugin.gradle.kts

I guess we’re not talking about the same thing. Sorry for the confusion.

In your screenshot above, try replacing
```apply(plugin = Plugins.androidLibrary)
apply&lt;AndroidBaseSetupPlugin&gt;()
apply&lt;AndroidBaseAppSetupPlugin&gt;()```
by a `plugins {}` block that applies the same plugins (need to be by plugin ID)

then you’ll get the type safe accessors to e.g. `implementation()`

Yeah, I got the problem, I cant use Plugins.androidLibrary as id(...)  if I put the string directly it works. I will have to create it as ProjectDependencySpec to add to the plugins block, thank you :slightly_smiling_face:

<@U19P7SPFW> I am having another use case where I haven't any plugin so I can access to dependencies block but not to every function

Type safe accessors aren’t available for all use cases, that’s expected. See <https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/kotlin_dsl.html#type-safe-accessors> for the list of use cases and how to deal with their absence.
