Is something like this currently supported in

settings.gradle.dcl

Copy code

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    versionCatalogs {
        create("ktorLibs") {
            from("io.ktor:ktor-version-catalog:3.4.2")
        }
    }
}

Nope, there is no version catalog support in DCL at all, yet

But you can use DCL in KTS, that's what I use to use version catalogs

Can you link to an example, maybe?

And actual usage: https://github.com/hfhbd/adventOfCode/blob/4be1813112efc2a7b2be07baa67a6b759c4ac448/year-2023-day2/build.gradle.kts#L7

And to register the versionCatalog, just use settings.gradle.kts

Hmm doesn't that mean to have

settings.gradle.dcl

and

settings.gradle.kts

? That would seem weird.

Nope, only settings.gradle.kts

Philip W

You don't need settings.gradle.dcl to enable DCL

Ok. The background is actually that I wanted to make another PR to your kfx project, to use the

ktor-version-catalog

instead of the manual declarations in

libs.versions.toml

. But the lack of a

settings.gradle.kts

got me confused 😅
