How do I implement compileKotlin task? Do I need

val compileKotlin: KotlinCompile by tasks

line?

[Vladyslav Sitalo]

If you have kotlin plugin applied to your project there is already a compileKotlin task defined.

[Vladyslav Sitalo]

to change it’s configurations you can do what you do in line above or something like:

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

[ValV]

That seems to be the main problem -- apply the plugin to my build.gradle.kts

[Vladyslav Sitalo]

plugins {
//...
   kotlin("jvm") version "1.3.0"
//...
}

should do the job
