If I need to get kotlin_version value in build.gradle.kts from gradle.properties file, I can get the value by

val kotlin_version: String = property("kotlin_version").toString()

but can’t by

val kotlin_version: String by properties

. WHY?😂 , Anybody could tell me?

[mkobit]

i think i reported an issue for that, but it is... kinda weird

i think

val kotlin_version: String by project

is what you are supposed to use

[mkobit]

i can't find an issue for it, maybe it will be best if you open it?

[wuseal]

@mkobit Yeah! that’s works, but why by properties doesn’t work? any reason or reference material？

[wuseal]

Ha.. so, May be a bug?

[mkobit]

probably. i would expect by properties to behave similarly

[jdiaz]

I always preferred to have everything in buildSrc rather than properties so it's reusable in many projects

@wuseal an example of a template I'm maintaining for my own sanity when creating a new project: https://github.com/jdiazcano/base-kotlin-project

@jdiaz I have saw that, It looks like a great way to config project, TKS, I’ll try it😀
