How fix build.gradle?

Question

Connected my module and in build.gradle write next:

plugins {
    id("org.jlleitschuh.gradle.ktlint")
    kotlin("jvm")
}

dependencies {
    compileOnly(kotlin("stdlib"))
    compileOnly(kotlin("reflect"))
    compileOnly(kotlin("script-runtime"))
    compileOnly("com.pinterest.ktlint:ktlint-core:0.34.2")
}

and get next error:

startup failed: build file '/home/vadimm/AndroidStudioProjects/homework/target-list/custom_ktlint_rules/build.gradle': 3: only id(String) method calls allowed in plugins {} script block

See https://docs.gradle.org/5.1.1/userguide/plugins.html#sec:plugins_block for information on the plugins {} block

@ line 3, column 5. kotlin("jvm") ^

Also tried write smth like this: apply plugin: 'kotlin' or

plugins {
    id 'kotlin'
}

but it is not successful

I have faced similar issue. Following solution works for me. Good Luck!!

plugins {
    kotlin("kapt")
    id("dagger.hilt.android.plugin")
}

to

plugins {
  id("kotlin-kapt")
  id("dagger.hilt.android.plugin")          
}

If anyone runs into this error while trying to use Kotlin DSL and wants to keep it: make sure your file is build.gradle.kts, not build.gradle

Answer 3

Resolved with next solution:

apply plugin: 'kotlin'

dependencies {
    compileOnly("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib")
    compileOnly("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect")
    compileOnly("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-script-runtime")
    compileOnly("com.pinterest.ktlint:ktlint-core:0.34.2")
}

kotlin("jvm") is Gradle kotlin-dsl syntax. For common Gradle syntax use apply plugin: 'kotlin' kotlin("..") is also from Gradle kotlin-dsl
