Hi Geoff, what error do you get?

[groostav]

ill spend a little more time with it tonight

[groostav]

yeah so I've been working through errors and I've got it down to a

Error: Property delegate must have a 'getValue(Nothing?, KProperty<*>)' method. None of the following functions is suitable:
public operator fun <T> ExtraPropertiesExtension.getValue(nothing: Nothing?, property: KProperty<*>): String? defined in org.gradle.script.lang.kotlin (C:\Users\Geoff\.gradle\caches\3.4.1\gradle-script-kotlin\9ie15qme9coikkue7luuwndvb\build.gradle.kts (23:34))

[groostav]

this is when I simply run gradle's default target on the root directory of gradle-script-kotlin

[groostav]

so if i run it from intelliJ it seems to run until I get to a build step assemble...

[bamboo]

Thanks. That’s very odd. Are you building with the included Gradle wrapper as in ./gradlew clean check?

If you're just getting started with gradle it might make sense to just stick w/ the standard groovy dsl until you get your feet wet

[groostav]

@bamboo I was not using the builtin gradlew I was using my local gradle installed by chocolaty.

@fitzoh I'm scared of the groovy gradle DSL. I was hoping an IDE's auto completion might help me, because I'm pretty good with the intricacies of closures in kotlin, but gradle was literally my first experience with groovy.

@groostav ok, that’s what I suspected, gradlew check should work, please let us know if it doesn't
