I'm converting a script to kotlin dsl. What is the correct syntax of kapt?

kapt("group:name:version")

results in

inferred type is String but Action<KaptExtension> was expected

That is the correct syntax. I think the calling context has confused the compiler.

frequently the generated accessors may also not properly generate, in which case "kapt" is the only option

Got it. thanks!

frequently

I didn't see cases when type safe accessors are not generated for a long time, most probably you have wrong configuration

Unwrap from Libraries.Android.apply and try again

Same issue

Now I see, you use dynamic syntax for kapt configuration, looks that it doesn't work at all, otherwise you could use type safe accessor anyway, looks that something is broken with Kapt application, but not sure what, everything looks fine for me
