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?

[Peter Mandeljc]

if I specify version, gradle says:

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

[mbonnin]

How do you include your kover.gradle.kts ? apply() ?

[Peter Mandeljc]

I didn't come to that part yet 🙂

[Peter Mandeljc]

I'm just trying to implement it in buildSrc, without using it for now

[mbonnin]

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

[Peter Mandeljc]

hm, I've put it to src/main/java

[Peter Mandeljc]

let me try

[mbonnin]

Then if you follow that section, it says you must declare the kover plugin as implementation in buildSrc/build.gradle.kts

[Peter Mandeljc]

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 'buildSrcgenerateExternalPluginSpecBuilders'.

> Could not resolve all files for configuration 'buildSrccompileClasspath'.

> Could not find org.jetbrains.kotlinx.kover0.6.1.

Required by:

project :buildSrc

[Peter Mandeljc]

mavenCentral() is a correct repo for kover, I double checked

[Alexander.Likhachev]

org.jetbrains.kotlinx.kover is a plugin ID, but not a maven artifact coordinates declaration. The coordinates are org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kover-gradle-plugin

[Peter Mandeljc]

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