Hi there, how can a script plugin access a class that is defined in another plugin? eg.

build.gradle.kts
plugins {
id("a")
}

apply(from = "b.gradle.kts")
---------------
b.gradle.kts

val c = A() //A is a class defined in plugin "a" and how do I make it accessible here?

[gildor]

Only by applying plugin A again

[gildor]

Otherwise there is no way to know about this class in B

[gildor]

You also can put this class to buildSrc/src/main/kotlin it will make it accessible from all projects and files of your project

[jakiej]

buildSrc works, but that's a last resort to me due to other reasons. I also tried with apply(plugin = "a") in b, but it didn't want to work. but let me try again.

[jakiej]

unfortunately, not working. can't even find the class to import.

[jakiej]

tried plugins{ id("a") } too and gradle did not like it either

[gildor]

I need more context, a lot of things may be wrong and “unfortunately, not working” is not enough information

[gildor]

Did you read official migration guide for Kotlin DSL? They have a lot of examples and explanations how things work

[jakiej]

Line 01: import com.abc.A
                      ^ Unresolved reference: abc

is the message

[jakiej]

line 2 apply(plugin="a")

[jakiej]

adding a buildscript dependencies block works though

[gildor]

It still not enough

[gildor]

maybe you have some self contained example

[jakiej]

it's a part of a complex work project, and i'll probably just live with the buildscript. thanks for your help!

I have hacked something similar by <ugly> sticking into a project level extension variable and using only basic types (Map<String,String>), some casts and a prayer
