Are there any instructions on how to migrate from settings.gradle to settings.gradle.kts in IntelliJ? I can't get IntelliJ to recognize the settings.gradle.kts file.

Works fine for me on 2018.3

[gildor]

Are you sure that you don't have configuration error?

[zjuhasz]

I've only tried in 2018.2, I guess I'll see if updating helps first

[zjuhasz]

But just so I know what should happen, is it as simple as deleting the settings.gradle file and creating a new file named settings.gradle.kts or are there some extra steps?

I am referring https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/tree/master/samples a lot, but to be fair I am migrating from maven to kotlin dsl, so you might have more complex cases

[gildor]

deleting the settings.gradle file and creating a new file named settings.gradle.kts

Yes, should be enough

I remember facing same issue, at some point it wasn't recognized at all, then after some update (still on 2018.2 though) I was able to replace settings.gradle with settings.gradle.kts, restart IntelliJ and it worked after restart

Why does IntelliJ ask for all this other informatin if all you need to do is create a file with the right name?

I've never seen this dialog, when does it come up?

[zjuhasz]

file -> new -> Gradle Kotlin DSL Settings

Hm... I usually just create new untyped file and call it settings.gradle.kts 🙂 So the following is theory:
1. settings.gradle.kts
2. com.example
3. your-module-name
4. ./
5. build.gradle.kts

Yeah I tried creating an untyped file and it worked fine, the dialog was confusing me.
