It is not related to Kotlin DSL but rather to Kotlin plugin itself As for adding sourcesets should be possible using extension

i managed to make it work by adding it as depedency and loading it as a plugin was just a wild guess but it seems to work

Nikky · Answer

i need to either have kotlin jvm in the plugin block or apply it otherwise it does not work either

Nikky · Answer

or maybe i am confused ad i was just another side effect that i fixed

tapchicoma · Answer

you need in plugins block only that plugin that your project is using and I suppose you project is using kotlin If you are using groovy then you don t need `kotlin jvm ` in plugins

Nikky · Answer

except the kotlin dsl loads kotlin already

tapchicoma · Answer

kotlin dsl loads kotlin only for build scripts

tapchicoma · Answer

it doesn t applied to project files itself

Nikky · Answer
