How to apply Kotlin JVM gradle plugin from a buildSrc (shared) gradle script?

Question

I'm trying to apply a plugin from a shared gradle script.

in my shared gradle script I have the following code:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.21"
    }
}
apply plugin: "org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm"

In the other builds I try and do

apply from: "shared.gradle"
...

If I run any gradle task, I get the following error:

 Plugin with id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm' not found

I've tried multiple ids instead of "org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm": like "org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.KotlinPluginWrapper" and "kotlin"... none works!

What am I doing wrong??

Answer 1

The classpath for kotlin Plugin is org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.KotlinPluginWrapper

Answer 2

I had the same issue today, what fixed it for me was adding this on buildSrc/build.gradle.kts

dependencies {
  implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm:org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm.gradle.plugin:1.7.10")
}

And then, on my conventions script buildScr/src/main/kotlin/application-conventions.gradle.kts I just removed the version

plugins {
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm")
}
