I'm trying give dependencies to every subproject with subprojects { dependencies { implementation(kotlin("stdlib-jdk8")) }}. However, when I do that, I get this from Gradle: Unresolved reference: implementation. Playing around with project.the<DependencyHandlerScope>().run { /* stuff here */} produces the same result. Any ideas?

implementation is a generated accessor, it may not exist but intellij likely thinks it does due to either sharing the script dependencies wrong or caching

see https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/kotlin_dsl.html#type-safe-accessors

yeah, that's why I tried explicitly accessing the right type via project.the.... 🤷‍♂️

[octylFractal]

but they're not defined on the type

[octylFractal]

they're extensions

[octylFractal]

and if they don't get generated, you can't use them

I see.

For now I'm just doing that stuff via a .gradle (not kts) script I import, which is an acceptable workaround, but if you know of a way to make the relevant codegen work inside subprojects, I'm all ears

Use "implementation"(...) instead of implementation(...)
