hmmm

[gildor]

what do you mean?

[gildor]

You don’t have code completion when writing Gradle plugin in Kotlin?

[gildor]

something broken than, works for me without issues

[Justin]

No I'm talking about writing my own Gradle plugin

[gildor]

So, you write own Gradle Plugin and you want that users of this plugin have code completion in Gradle Kotlin DSL configs, correct?

[Justin]

That's correct

[gildor]

If you will use recommended approaches for writing Gradle plugin you don't need any additional support, just define tasks, use extensions instead of conventions, avoid any dynamic groovy api

[gildor]

And Gradle will do most of work for you and Kotlin DSL consumers will have code complications if also follows recommendations

[gildor]

You can find a lot of useful information and advices in official migration guide that also explains when consumer will have access to type safe api of plugins
