project(":child:grandchild") {
	plugins {
		id("war")
		id("org.springframework.boot")
	}
	dependencies {
		providedRuntime("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat")
		//...
	}
	//...
}

gives me unresolved reference:

providedRuntime

Any ideas?

🤔 looks like a bug The

plugins {}

block is only supported for the current project, not when doing config injection with

[all|sub]projects {}

or

project(":path") {}

The bug here is that you couldn’t notice, it should have failed telling you this is not possible.

Yup, I confirm that with

apply{ plugin("") }

and

"providedRuntime"()

it works

That’s totally fine! Thanks a lot

Ok, not a huge problem, just a nice-to-have 🙂 Thank you!
