Question: I'm trying to integrate the Kotlin multiplatform plugin as part of a precompiled script, like so:

Copy code

plugins {
  kotlin("multiplatform")
}

kotlin {
  jvm()
}

tasks.register("doSomething") {
  dependsOn(tasks.jvmTest)
}

That last part doesn't compile, probably because there is no accessor for

jvmTest

even though by all rights it should exist. Of course, changing it to

tasks.named("jvmTest")

works, but what would cause the accessors to not be useable? (Compare this to, say,

commonMain

, which is useable)

you can use

Copy code

dependsOn("jvmTest")

accessors are generated for tasks registered by plugins before the rest of your build script, but KGP doesn't register it until during your script execution (with

kotlin { jvm() }

if you wrote a convention plugin that applies KMP and sets up the JVM target, then applying that plugin would give you generated accessors in your build script

Ah, makes sense. If there had been another layer of indirection then accessors could be used. Now all I need to do is to use this information to get my plugin to integrate JaCoCo with its aggregation plugin. It works for what I need now - a simple project with a

common

and

jvm

source set, but I'm not sure it's generically applicable and/or involves hardcoding things that I should get from computing it.
