Might be worth deleting your .gradle directory

[dave08]

Funny since it only happens for a new kotlin dsl gradle project...

[napperley]

Avoid using Intellij's Gradle Kotlin DSL project wizard which will use a old version of Gradle, and will generate a out of date/invalid build.gradle.kts file.

Oh, that could be what happened! I generated the project before I updated IDEA! Funny, because it looked the same as the article (I'm not in front of my computer now, so I'll give you the link later..), I guess the article was also relatively old... I didn't think it could change so much.. thanks! I'll try when in front of computer...

That's why I haven't used the Gradle kotlin DSL yet.. Seemed like it's changing to too much. The groovy DSL isn't that bad...

[dave08]

Any planned date for it to be stable?

[kenkyee]

Changes seem less breaking nowadays... Is guess sometime this year.
But you know what they say... Play with knives...

[napperley]

Kotlin DSL seems to be stabilising. Will need to be in order to have a 1.0 release sometime in Q1 this year. Keep in mind that the Groovy DSL has been around for about a decade.

[napperley]

Biggest issue with Kotlin DSL at the moment is the unstable tooling support (eg syntax highlighting of kts files in Intellij still hasn't been fixed yet).
