just move that one out of the ext block as well?

[Czar]

I don't understand the question.

[Bernhard]

thats what I've got so far

[Bernhard]

so the stuff inside the builscript.ext block, where do I move that?

[Bernhard]

if I move it outside like https://dpaste.de/KkXa it fails with unresolved references

[Czar]

In groovy file you're assigning values, but in kotlin you're trying to retrieve them

[Bernhard]

from where? settings.gradle.kts?

[Czar]

ext {
    kotlinVersion = '1.2.60'
}

would be the same as:

extra["kotlinVersion"] = "1.2.60"

[Bernhard]

aaaaaaaah

[Czar]

ext is a map

[Czar]

or Properties (don't remember)

[Czar]

Best practice though is to use a Versions object from buildSrc instead of extra

[Czar]

E.g. here: https://handstandsam.com/2018/02/11/kotlin-buildsrc-for-better-gradle-dependency-management/

This way you get auto-completion and Ctrl+clicks 🙂

[Bernhard]

just starting out with gradle so I have very little knowledge yet. Still simpler than maven

[Bernhard]

I suppose there is no example for this in here right? https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/tree/44868ed7dcd6a1bad53bd5746ab1159e4b3b84a0/samples

[Czar]

There are examples in the blog at the link I posted above

[Bernhard]

hm, kinda looks like a hack

[Bernhard]

nonetheless thank you

[Czar]

If you're just starting out I'd suggest to work through gradle docs: https://gradle.org/guides/#getting-started
Actually using ext is a hack 🙂 buildSrc is way to go with gradle 😄

[Czar]

You're welcome

[Bernhard]

I see 😞
