Hey guys, how can I access / set `archivesBaseName`? I saw some scripts using `base { archivesBaseName = ".." }` but can’t get that work.. always get the following compile error - even though it get’s recognized and resolved in the editor in IntelliJ

```
Unresolved reference. None of the following candidates is applicable because of receiver type mismatch:
public val PluginDependenciesSpec.base: PluginDependencySpec defined in org.gradle.kotlin.dsl
```

For me it works, can you show your build file and state the gradle version you use?

Gradle 4.4

The following build-script
```
plugins {
    base
}

base {}
```

results in this exception (in addition to the one I posted above)
```
Expression 'base' cannot be invoked as a function. The function 'invoke()' is not found
```

It’s part of a multi-project build, and in an included / applied script - if that makes a difference?

The issue here must be that it is an applied script.
The `plugins {}` block is supported in project scripts only.
It means you can’t use the static accessors in this case and must rely on explicit configuration by type:
```
configure&lt;BasePluginConvention&gt; {
    archivesBaseName = ""
}
```

Ah okay, thank you very much :slightly_smiling_face:
