Hi guys, quick question - is there anything like

gradle.ext

that I can use to make values from settings.gradle.kts available to build.gradle.kts?

add to ext:

val yourValue by extra { "some value" }

declare in a file you want to access it in:

val yourValue: String by extra

access it:

println("Just got a value from extra: $yourValue")

Yeah I know about extra, but that seems to be unavailable in

settings.gradle.kts

?

Don't know if it suits you, but as a workaround for constants (and not only for them, actually) there was a following solution suggested yesterday: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C19FD9681/p1513272845000259?thread_ts=1513272693.000251&cid=C19FD9681

@lukas does this

gradle.extra["something"] = "something"

work?

@r4zzz4k Thank you for the suggestions, I’ll check it out. Not sure if that’s what I need though, since I am passing dynamic data..

What kind of data though? Is it really tied to

Project

instance?

buildSrc

is still a valid place for a bit more involved building logic global for the project. Of course I'm not saying that you don't need extras, it depends :)

It’s a dynamic multi-project build with shared data, so I generate that once in settings.gradle and then can access it from all project builds. Since the included projects can vary, I don’t know if buildSrc can help me. Thank you for your help 🙂

// in settings.gradle.kts
gradle.beforeProject {
        extra["meow"] = "meowValue"
        // or: val meow: String by extra { "meowValue" }
}

// in build.gradle.kts
val meow: String by extra

this works for me

Thank you! it works in

beforeProject

🙂
