Is there a way to access properties of the plugins that do N kotlinlang #gradle

syntax) in kts gradle script? Currently I'm doing a hack by putting all properties of this plugin into regular non-kts gradle file and then applying that file, but it's ugly.

Can't you use

apply(from = plugin)

in .kts?

Yes I can

but I cannot access any custom plugin properties

since they are not in the kts classpath when compiling

Please check official primer https://guides.gradle.org/migrating-build-logic-from-groovy-to-kotlin/#migration_strategies

briefly: it’s recommended to use buildSrc and precompiled script plugins instead of dynamic scripts

Also about precompiled script plugins: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/kotlin_dsl.html#kotdsl:precompiled_plugins

Or, if you don’t plan to rewrite those scripts, you still can apply dynamic groovy scripts in Kotlin

yea, I don't control those plugins. So applying them in groovy is only option?

What kind plugins?

I’m talking only about

apply from

Could show an example of such plugin and what exactly you trying to do

example: https://github.com/bjoernQ/unmock-plugin

this plugin is not in gradle repo so I cannot use declarative plugins syntax

you can

It also described in official doc https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/kotlin_dsl.html#sec:plugins_resolution_strategy

and even without this you still can configure plugin without static accessors using this API https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/kotlin_dsl.html#sec:kotlin_using_standard_api

If you use Kotlin DSL I very recommend to read both documents, they are very well written and explain most of things that you may be needed
