I have a

lint.gradle

file in my android project which I want to convert to a

.kts

file. Here's what the 2 versions look like

// .kts version
android {
    lintOptions {
        isAbortOnError =true
        xmlReport =false
        setLintConfig(file("$rootDir/codeQuality/lint.xml"))
    }
}

// groovy version
android {
    lintOptions {
        abortOnError true
        lintConfig file("$rootDir/codeQuality/lint.xml")
        xmlReport false
    }
}

The groovy version works fine but in the kts version I keep getting unresolved reference issues

Line 1: android { ^ Unresolved reference: android

. Any ideas on how I can resolve this?

You don't have generation of type-safe accessors in scripts (including

android

). you have them only when you have

plugins

block: build.gradle.kts or precompiled script plugins. Check official Kotlin DSL primer it's explains why and how to manage build logic
