Is there an easier way to force Gradle to use the same module version for all Kotlin modules?

configurations {
		all {
			resolutionStrategy.eachDependency {
				if (requested.group == "org.jetbrains.kotlin") {
					useVersion(embeddedKotlinVersion)
					because("All Kotlin modules must have the same version.")
				}
			}
		}
	}

Something like that being part of the Kotlin Gradle Plugin would be great, but with configurable version of course.

isn't it working like that already if you apply kotlin plugin?
My understanding was that plugin's version is used for all relevant dependencies.

There was a transitive dependency in my project which caused Gradle to downgrade kotlin-reflect from Kotlin 1.3 to 1.2 in some configurations even though I had testImplementation(kotlin("reflect")) in my project.

[Czar]

in that case what you wrote is your best bet.

[Nikky]

you can also do testImplementation(kotlin("reflect", embeddedKotlinVersion)) i think

I haven’t used it, but shouldn’t dependency constraints help here?

[Nikky]

this? https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/managing_transitive_dependencies.html#sec:dependency_constraints

looks like this could be done in a init script or on the rootproject via
allProjects { dependencies { contraints { .. } } }

i will alos have to play with that new feature
