hello is there a way to share common properties between comp kotlinlang #gradle

rootA
- build.gradle.kts
- gradle.properties <-- share this
- settings.gradle.kts
- libA
- libB
- pluginA
- rootB
  - build.gradle.kts
  - settings.gradle.kts
  - exampleA (uses libA/libB and pluginA)

Is there a way to share

rootA/gradle.properties

with

rootB

project?

rootA

I'm loading those props to set common version of plugins, e.g.

//settings.gradle.kts
pluginManagement {
  val someLibVersion: String by settings
  plugins {
    id("whatever) version someLibVersion
  }
}

so basically would like to define common version of some libs and properties that should be used by both

rootA

and

rootB

project

I don't see anything immediately, but you could technically read them from the relevant properties file yourself, by using https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.initialization.IncludedBuild.html#org.gradle.api.initialization.IncludedBuild:projectDir to locate the file

Depending of what you want to achieve but starting gradle 5.6 or something, you can put a gradle.properties in a custom gradle distribution that will be used In (all) projects using this gradle distribution.

That would be an overkill

so i tried this in

rootB/settings.gradle.kts

pluginManagement {
    val properties = java.util.Properties()
    properties.load(File(rootDir.parent, "gradle.properties").inputStream())

    val kotlinVersion: String by properties

    plugins {
        id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm") version kotlinVersion
    }
}

and it appears to work fine from command line but intellij complains 😞

hmm so actually IntelliJ complains about the

plugins

section

🤦 intellij was trying to use old version of gradle... above works fine
