I'm trying to create a custom compilation for the ...

I'm trying to create a custom compilation for the metadata target, but I'm getting an error that says Can't create custom metadata compilations by name. I'm doing:

kotlin {
  targets {
    getByName("metadata") {
      compilations.create("testUtils")
    }
  }
}

I'm trying to do this because I have a commonTest sourceSet that has a mix of tests and utils in it. I also have a custom jvm compliation for benchmarks that relies on the utils in commonTest. I can't add commonTest output classfiles as a dependency because then it brings in the common tests, which I do not want.

Any ideas other than creating separate modules for all of these things?

Current plan is to use a base source set. We'll see how this goes 👀
