i tried every method i could think of to get to a closure created under dependencies.ext by a gradle plugin written in groovy that I have to use for this application

[eskatos]

this should be possible

[eskatos]

(dependencies as ExtensionAware).extra.properties will get you the extra properties registered on dependencies

[eskatos]

then this sample should guide you to using the Groovy Closure from Kotlin: https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/tree/master/samples/groovy-interop

[eskatos]

Actually the sample does exactly that, invoking a Groovy Closure that was registered as an extra property.
In the sample, the extra property is set on the Project but it shouldn’t matter.

[eskatos]

dependencies {
    val theClosure = (dependencies as ExtensionAware).extra["someName"] as groovy.lang.Closure<Any?>
    theClosure("the", "arguments")
}
