androidkotlingradle-kotlin-dsltoml

Why is "libs" shown in red from libs.versions.toml used in build.gradle.kts files in android studio Giraffe?

I am using Android Studio Giraffe. In that new recommended way is to use Koltin build instead of groovy. So, when I created the new project, I got both Module and Project level build.gradle.kts files highlighted in red when I opened them with libs being highlited. There is seperate Version catalog file by name libs.version.toml

Red highlight

[bundles]

build.gradle.kts(Module)

plugins {
    alias(libs.plugins.com.android.application)
    alias(libs.plugins.org.jetbrains.kotlin.android)
}

build.gradle.kts(Project)

    alias(libs.plugins.com.android.application) apply false
    alias(libs.plugins.org.jetbrains.kotlin.android) apply false
}

I would also like to know more about libs.versions.toml file.

Solution

  • The can't be called in this context by implicit receiver message is a known bug in Gradle that was introduced when Version Catalogs were first added in Gradle 7.2.

    It will be fixed in Gradle 8.1, along with some docs that will explain the workarounds for anyone using older versions of Gradle.

    Workarounds

    Until Gradle 8.1 is released, there are two workarounds.

    The warning can be safely suppressed using @Suppress("DSL_SCOPE_VIOLATION").

    // build.gradle.kts

@Suppress("DSL_SCOPE_VIOLATION")
plugins {
    alias(libs.plugins.kotlin.jvm)
}

    Alternatively, there's an IntelliJ plugin that will suppress the error: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/18949-gradle-libs-error-suppressor
