my root project `settings.gradle.kts` is red, but not my `buildSrc/settings.gradle.kts` :confused:

*snort* sounds like IDEA's normal BS, go to the gradle tab and refresh the project.

Unfortunately none of my normal tricks are working
- refresh gradle
- reimport module
- New project and import module

It's strange because rest of import works fine

Might be something specific to this project. Maybe I can look at intellij logs to see what is going on

Another place to look at would be the logs of the kotlin-dsl dependency resolver for intellij.
System dependent location encoded here: <https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/blob/master/provider/src/main/kotlin/org/gradle/kotlin/dsl/resolver/ResolverEventLogger.kt#L112>

Look for `settings.gradle.kts` in the most recent log file

thanks <@U19P7SPFW>, ill take a look and follow up

ok <@U19P7SPFW> think i have an idea of what was happening. i couldnt figure out how to "retrigger" a settings resolution (synchronization/opening the file/refreshing the gradle project all didn't seem to work) so i just restarted intellij each time

we have a file at `gradle/kotlinVersion.txt` and in `settings.gradle.kts` that we refer to in a couple places

```
    resolutionStrategy {
        val kotlinVersion = Paths.get("gradle", "kotlinVersion.txt").toFile().readText().trim()
```

and also a `dependencies.gradle` that we use in `build.gradle` as `apply from: 'dependencies.gradle'` file that does the same crap

```
ext {
    versions = [
        kotlin: Paths.get("gradle", "kotlinVersion.txt").getText(StandardCharsets.UTF_8.name()).trim(),
```

both of these lead to a 
```	
failure = 		org.gradle.tooling.BuildException: Could not fetch model of type 'KotlinBuildScriptModel' using Gradle installation '/home/mkobit/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-4.7-all/4cret0dgl5o3b21weaoncl7ys/gradle-4.7'.
	Caused by: java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: gradle/kotlinVersion.txt` coming up 
```

if i just change those to constants everything in the IDE is dandy

should the tooling models be built relative to the project dir? or i should i be doing something differently here?

i could use a `gradle.properties` and get it from there too, i think that'll work in the meantime

Hey Mike,
The Gradle properties should work indeed.

I wonder about your usage of `Paths.get()`
Why not use `file("..")` that handles paths relative to the script whatever is the CWD?

`val kotlinVersion = file("gradle/kotlinVersion.txt").readText().trim()`
and
`def kotlinVersion = file(‘gradle/kotlinVersion.txt’).text.trim()`

Came from what we had prior, which I think was just a preference for nio apis

We need to get better error reporting in cases such as yours

<https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/pull/866> will already be a step forward, but no details about the error yet

awesome, thanks - pointing me to where the logs go was enough to figure it out.
i didnt realize `file` method was available in `settings.gradle.kts`, thanks for the pointer
