The plugins block is more succint and enables other features: https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/blob/6a3c51a65e8423aa33432b816996360cd32e7906/doc/getting-started/Configuring-Plugins.md

if thats the case then why the default build.gradle.kts uses buildscript instead of plugins 🤔

[mkobit]

how did you generate the project? i think the kotlin plugin in intellij has not been updated in a while to support newer build.gradle.kts versions as well as the Kotlin gradle plugins being published to the Gradle Plugin Portal

[bamboo]

What’s the default build.gradle.kts?

[kartikpatodi]

the one that is generated when a new kotlin/gradle dsl project is created from intellij 2017.3.1

[bamboo]

that’s probably because they never got around to updating the project template, please open an issue against the Kotlin YouTrack

[bamboo]

in the kotlin-dsl samples we recommend the use of the plugins block

[kartikpatodi]

okay also the default wrapper is somehow set to gradle 4.0 bin
and when I tried it with gradle 4.4 all it shows error that the version is not available
can you please tell am I doing something wrong here?

[bamboo]

Can you please expand on _ when I tried it with gradle 4.4_?

[kartikpatodi]

I updated the wrapper properties url and replaced 4.0-bin to 4.4-all

[bamboo]

Ok, the safe way is:

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 4.4 --distribution-type all

[kartikpatodi]

but still it stated downloading the gradle zip but when download finished it said that version does not exist or something similar 😅
I also tried using offline version of the 4.4 but it too failed.

[bamboo]

you have to run the command above with the working Gradle version and then it will update your wrapper to the 4.4
