Try to upgrade to 7.4, a bug related to this has been fixed

Yep, search for

Plugins can be declared with a version in a subproject in more cases

in https://docs.gradle.org/7.4/release-notes.html

Wow, thank you. Will check!

@Paul Merlin is it planned to support plugin aliases without version? An use case can be precompiled plugins which aren't in

buildSrc

so there aren't accessors

I don’t know. @Sterling or @Octavia Togami may know

fwiw, we didn't consider this because precompiled plugins only have an id. The alias makes more sense when you have both an id and a version. Otherwise, you might end up with more letters in

alias(libs.plugins.precompiled)

than

id 'precompiled'

).

Yes, there is an issue for this, but I do not know when or if we will implement it for sure: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/17968
