i have a multi module build. in my parent build.gradle i used

plugins {
    id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.multiplatform" version '1.3.41' apply false
}

now i finally wanted to try out the kotlin dsl and creaed a child module with a build.gradle.kts where i use

apply(plugin = "org.jetbrains.kotlin.multiplatform")

but now the kotlin { } block cannot be resolved what am i doing wrong?

ok using

plugins {
    kotlin("multiplatform")
}

it works

hi. in kotlin-dsl if you apply plugin delayed you should call configure with class of plugin-config. like:

apply<BinderAdapterPlugin>()

configure<com.icerockdev.binderadapter.Configuration> {
    classesPackage = "com.getchallenge.features.feed.browse"
    dataBindingPackage = "com.getchallenge.features.feed.browse"
    sourceSet = "androidMain"
}

this looks quite complicated... what are the advantages going this way?

[alex009]

I don’t see any advantages, it was just that in my case it was necessary to use the plugin after configuring other blocks

[alex009]

so if you can use plugins without apply false - use it 🙂

ah i see, thank you 🙂
