@Lucas it unfortunately looks like groovy dynamicness - https://github.com/researchgate/gradle-release/blob/b76fb21cc325f689c154b5674c4c96054cbc6f02/src/main/groovy/net/researchgate/release/ReleaseExtension.groovy#L77-L121

@mkobit So there is not a workaround, right? Just choosing another plugin that's more Kotlin friendly.

you could create an issue for them or do a PR with needed refactoring, but from the looks of their issue tracker, their development cycle is kinda slow, so YMMV. Alternatively you could put the plugin configuration in a groovy file and apply it in kts. If you don't have specific requirement to use it and don't want to have groovy dsl at all, using something more kotlin-friendly would be your best bet.

the kotlin workaround would be ugly it might look like (untested)

git {
  methodMissing("git, delegateClosureOf<GitAdapter> {
  }
}

but i dont think configuring the

GitAdapter

looks nice either because so much of that plugin is built around dynamicness of groovy you could also probably just put this part in a groovy gradle file and apply it from your

kts

Using the

methodMissing

doesn't seems to be a solution because the

requireBranch

property is from a class named

GitConfig

that's inside

GitAdapter

. Using a pure Groovy Gradle file worked and it's easier. Thank you so much @Czar and @mkobit!
