Well, I'm trying to import org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile, but it says Unresolved reference: jetbrains. So I need kotlin-gradle-plugin to installed somehow, right? I have mavenLocal() and mavenCentral(), how do I get the plugin into local repository and plug outta there?

[kartikpatodi]

try jcenter() in the repositories

[ValV]

Nope, this does not help either. Perhaps, I should mention that I'm trying to convert existing build.gradle to build.gradle.kts. Somehow the script which is in Groovy finds compileKotlin task, but when I try to do it in Kotlin .kts it does not work

[kartikpatodi]

can you share your .kts build file?

[ValV]

Here it is

build.gradle.kts

[kartikpatodi]

You cannot/should not use buildscript and plugins block in the sae build file

[kartikpatodi]

also you no longer need to import the kotlin-grade-plugin

[ValV]

Hmm, that buildscript { repositories { ... } ... dependencies { ... } } was in original Groovy build file. Since I'm very new to Gradle and know Groovy a bit better than none, I've ended up with this 😁

[kartikpatodi]

which gradle version are you using?

[ValV]

4.10.2 Linux build

[kartikpatodi]

ok first try this if it works

import java.util.regex.Pattern
import kotlin.reflect.jvm.internal.impl.descriptors.annotations.KotlinTarget
import org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile

plugins {
    application
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.3.0"
}

val kotlin_version = "1.3.0"
val tornadofx_version = "1.7.16"
val junit_version = "5.1.0"

tasks.withType<KotlinCompile> {//compileKotlin {
    kotlinOptions.jvmTarget = "1.8"
}

repositories {
    jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    implementation(kotlin("stdlib"))
    implementation("no.tornado:tornadofx:$tornadofx_version")

//    testCompile( "org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:$junit_version")
//    testRuntime( "org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine:$junit_version")
}

val mainClassName = "com.github.valv.demo.tfx"

val jar by tasks.getting(Jar::class) {
    archiveName = "new.jar"
    //mainClassName = "com.github.valv.demo.tfx"
    manifest {
        attributes( mapOf(
                "Class-Path" to configurations.joinToString(" ") { it.name },
                "Main-Class" to mainClassName
        ))
    }
// TODO: convert to Kotlin
//    from(configurations.compile.collect { entry -> zipTree(entry) }) {
//        exclude( "META-INF/MANIFEST.MF")
//        exclude( "META-INF/*.SF")
//        exclude( "META-INF/*.DSA")
//        exclude( "META-INF/*.RSA")
//    }
}

[ValV]

OMG, It uses Kotlin 1.2.61, How can I configure 1.3.0?

[kartikpatodi]

sorry?

[ValV]

Yes, that trick with removing buildscript block and placing plugins ontop solved the problem

[ValV]

Now it finds everything

[kartikpatodi]

Great!!

[ValV]

But the Kotlin version in

gradle --version

is still 1.2.61. I hope it's not terrible

[kartikpatodi]

also forgot to mention use implementation instead of compile as it is more stable

[ValV]

Aha, I tried exactly implementation, but it was not resolved because of the problem above. Now it is. So for tests I should point testImplementation and testRuntime, right?

[kartikpatodi]

It does not matter actually..
the gradle version you are currently using is build using kotlin 1.2.61 so it is shipped with that vesion..
But if you want to use say kotlin 1.3.0 then just mention 1.3.0 in the plugins block and it will use that version of kotlin in the project

[kartikpatodi]

Yes, use testImplementation and testRuntime

[ValV]

Got it, thanks
