Hi there! Did anyone manage to import `KotlinMultiplatformExtension` into their `buildSrc` folder?...

# multiplatform

Hi there! Did anyone manage to import KotlinMultiplatformExtension into their buildSrc folder? I’m trying to write some logic to make it easier for multiple targets to configure ios targets + tests…

[Grégory Lureau]

Yes, using this

import org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.dsl.KotlinMultiplatformExtension

and

fun Project.defaultKMPConfig() {
    val kotlin = project.extensions.getByName<KotlinMultiplatformExtension>("kotlin")
    kotlin.apply { ...

[Marc Reichelt]

That would be nice - but already the import fails on my machine

[Marc Reichelt]

My buildSrc/build.gradle.kts looks like this:

plugins {
    `kotlin-dsl`
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation(gradleApi())
}

[Grégory Lureau]

oh yes, I forget to mention this:

dependencies {
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlinVersion")
    ....

[Grégory Lureau]

I also have

`java-gradle-plugin`

in plugins, not sure it's relevant here

[Marc Reichelt]

in which file do you have the dependency @Grégory Lureau?

[Marc Reichelt]

If I add that in buildSrc/build.gradle.kts , I’ll get:

org.gradle.internal.exceptions.LocationAwareException: Build file '/Users/username/someproject/build.gradle.kts' line: 18
Error resolving plugin [id: 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.multiplatform', version: '1.5.31']

[Marc Reichelt]

if I resolve all the errors (by removing the specific 1.5.31 version in the other build gradle files) then it at least syncs, but the import in buildSrc still doesn’t work

[Marc Reichelt]

Oh, damn - I just found out that indeed the code works, but Android Studio shows the import as working (but command line compiles the import successfully)

[Marc Reichelt]

Tooling is broken 😕

[Grégory Lureau]

My path is buildSrc/build.gradle.kts like yours, I don't have this issue, but I'm on IntelliJ Community, so I suppose AS doesn't support this ?!

[Marc Reichelt]

it seems so (I’m on Arctic Fox right now, have to try Bumblebee next)

[Grégory Lureau]

good luck!

[Marc Reichelt]

Actually, you already helped me a lot @Grégory Lureau - the code works, I just didn’t know that it did (because studio was showing errors). Maybe In can get this further in the next weeks., Thank you! 👏
