Hey! A newbie question. I'm trying to share build logic between modules. Since my logic is simple, I decided to go with "imperative" approach. I added following script:

buildSrc/kover.gradle.kts

. But it seems like my plugin is not recognized:

Caused by: org.gradle.api.plugins.UnknownPluginException: Plugin [id: 'org.jetbrains.kotlinx.kover'] was not found in any of the following sources:

// kover.gradle.kts
plugins {
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlinx.kover")
}
koverMerged {
    enable()
}

// build.gradle.kts
plugins {
    `kotlin-dsl`
}
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    gradlePluginPortal()
}

Looks like you need to specify the version?

if I specify version, gradle says:

Plugin requests from precompiled scripts must not include a version number.

How do you include your

kover.gradle.kts

?

apply()

?

I didn't come to that part yet 🙂

I think you have to put them in `src/main/kotlin`https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/custom_plugins.html#sec:precompiled_plugins

hm, I've put it to

src/main/java

Then if you follow that section, it says you must declare the

kover

plugin as

implementation

in

buildSrc/build.gradle.kts

um, I'm still "scratching my head". I've changed

buildSrc/build.gradle.kts

to:

plugins {
    `kotlin-dsl`
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    gradlePluginPortal()
}

dependencies {
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx.kover:0.6.1")
}

But now I'm getting:

Execution failed for task ':buildSrc:generateExternalPluginSpecBuilders'.

> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':buildSrc:compileClasspath'.

> Could not find org.jetbrains.kotlinx.kover:0.6.1:.

Required by:

project :buildSrc

org.jetbrains.kotlinx.kover

is a plugin ID, but not a maven artifact coordinates declaration. The coordinates are

org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kover-gradle-plugin

ok, Bob's my uncle now. Thanks guys!
