Hello! What I should return from KotlinGradleSubplugin.getPluginArtifact if I implement kotlin compiler plugin in buildSrc gradle section?

[turansky]

You need return artifact with Kotlin Compiler plugin inside (not Gradle plugin)

[turansky]

In best case Gradle plugin and Kotlin Compiler plugin - 2 separate artifacts

[turansky]

For example Gradle & Maven plugins can use single Kotlin Compiler plugin

[PHondogo]

I understand that. But I don't have artifact. I want to implement kotlin compiler plugin in buildSrc gradle project section. And use it for compiling modules in the same gradle project

You can publish artifact locally from buildSrc folder or use freeArgs of compiler to specify jar file built in the buildSrc 🙂

I used to do something similar to the first variant here: https://github.com/ShikaSD/kotlin-compiler-di/tree/6e1f1b24de7d50d007a68edd29db4c7a9696df46/buildSrc

Thanks! It is good idea to provide gradle build classpath to kotlin compiler. Need to check possibility...

@shikasd I followed your suggestion and found more elegant solution:

plugins.withType<KotlinMultiplatformPluginWrapper> {

        project.dependencies {
            add(org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.PLUGIN_CLASSPATH_CONFIGURATION_NAME, files(File(rootDir, "buildSrc/build/libs/buildSrc.jar")))
        }
}

And it works!

Huh, amazing! :)

You can check arrow meta gradle config as well, they just add a compiler jar without using JB gradle plugin
