How do you access a root (i.e. from

project

) property from a block where the local

this

has a property of the same name? …when that block also has a deprecated

project

property 😉 I have something like the following:

testing {
    suites {
        named<JvmTestSuite>("test") {
            dependencies {
                implementation(project())
                implementation(project.dependencies.embeddedKotlin("gradle-plugin") as String)
            }
        }
    }
}

The thing is: that

dependencies

block (

JvmComponentDependencies

) has a

project

property that's now deprecated in 9.6.0, it also has no

embeddedKotlin()

extension. Is there a way (with a

this@xxx

notation?) to access the "root"

project

or

dependencies

property? Or is my only option to replace the

embeddedKotlin

helper with a more explicit

implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$embeddedKotlinVersion")

? Or would you rather pull that

embeddedKotlin()

call outside of the test suite into a variable? (btw, this is for unit-testing –with `ProjectBuilder`– a plugin that depends on KGP)

val topLevelProject = project
testing {
    suites {
        named<JvmTestSuite>("test") {
            dependencies {
                implementation(project())
                implementation(topLevelProject.dependencies.embeddedKotlin("gradle-plugin") as String)
            }
        }
    }
}

?

Yes, an intermediate variable, moving that call outside of the problematic block. I was going with:

testing {
    suites {
        named<JvmTestSuite>("test") {
            val kotlinGradlePlugin = project.dependencies.embeddedKotlin("gradle-plugin") as String
            dependencies {
                implementation(project())
                implementation(kotlinGradlePlugin)
            }
        }
    }
}

> Is there a way (with a

this@xxx

solution, but I think there isn't one. According to IntelliJ IDEA, the available

this

variants inside that

dependencies

block are: •

this

, which has type

JvmComponentDependencies

•

this@dependencies

, which has type

JvmComponentDependencies

•

this@named

, which has type

JvmTestSuite

•

this@suites

, which has type

NamedDomainObjectContainerScope<TestSuite>

•

this@testing

, which has type

TestingExtension

Unless I've overlooked something, none of these has a field that gets you to the “root”

project

or

dependencies

property. And there's just no named scope that refers to the top-level scope of the script itself.

in K1 scripting, there was

this@Build_gradle

, but that depends on the script filename and doesn't work in K2
