`kotlin-dsl`indicates that your application is a Gradle plugin; perhaps this isn’t the case. You can use the Kotlin DSL in your build script with the kotlin(“jvm”) (or other platforms) - but you should not mix a Gradle Kotlin DSL plugin (which requires Gradle 1.4/1.5) with other Kotlin code (that requires 1.6).

Interesting and thank you for your reply. I have all my build scripts in buildSrc dir using the conventions method/style. That's where the

kotlin-dsl

is set for me. In one of my build script convention files that contains the KotlinCompile settings, I have the following:

plugins {
    idea
    kotlin("jvm")
    kotlin("plugin.allopen")
    id("helper-conventions")
    id("kotlin-test-conventions")       
}

No version on the jvm line in this case. Because I'm using precompiled scripts, I can't set a version... so its coming from the

build.gradle.kts

in my

buildSrc

dir?

Hmmm. Not that familiar with previnoiked scripts (tend to do full plugins). This link seems to indicate there's a coupling between the build.gradle.kts and script plugins. https://dev.to/dussim/gradle-precompiled-script-with-kotlin-jvm-clf
