Hi everyone! I want to migrate huge app to Kotlin-dsl step by step to do this I'm planing to extract pieces of code to

kts

files and use it from groovy. How could i achieve that.

apply from: "file.gradle.kts"

is not working in this case. Is there any other way?

What is exactly not working? Because simple apply from

kts

must work, maybe problem what is inside of your file.gradle.kts

I find it easier to do the other way around: rename

build.gradle

to e.g.

old-build.gradle

create

build.gradle.kts

with following content:

import org.gradle.kotlin.dsl.*

plugins {
	`java`
	kotlin("jvm") version "1.2.31"
}

apply {
	from("old-build.gradle")
}

Then move parts of code from groovy to build.gradle.kts. This way you have your fully working groovy setup called on to from kotlin-dsl entry point.

@gildor so far it contains simple data class, getting

unable to resolve class

errors

@stepango You see this error on side of Groovy (when use it) or Kotlin?

Groovy

correct

So there is no way to import

kts

in groovy?

You can import

how?

your class is actually have name something like

File_gradle$Foo

what i could import if no classes?

it’s just a way how Gradle works with kts script plugins

For me rule of thumb is, if you declare a class in a build file and want to use it in another build fire, move it to

buildSrc

.

what i could import if no classes?

tasks, plugin application and extension configuration, it’s a way to extract part of you build.gradle config
