Could not find method pluginName() for arguments on extension 'intellij' of type org.jetbrains.intellij.IntelliJPluginExtension. Does any one know what is this about? everytime I try to build it pops up

`#plugin-development` means developing Gradle plugins, not developing IntelliJ plugins.
For that you need to head to <https://platform.jetbrains.com/>

But the message tells that you try to call method `pluginName` on extension `intellij` which does not exist, at least not for the arguments given, what is unclear with that?

Besides that, I highly recommend using Kotlin DSL. By now it is the default DSL, you immediately get type-safe build scripts, actually helpful error messages if you mess up the syntax and amazingly better IDE support if you use a good IDE like IntellilJ IDEA or Android Studio.
