From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver better software, faster.

Gradle Community

even after I add `com.malinskiy.marathon` to the `buildSrc/build.gradle.kts` `plugins{ }` block, it still fails

Potentially missing the repository that plugin comes from?  Does `--info` provide additional details?

Also, I'm not sure how else to get a plugin other than from the `plugins{}` block in the `buildSrc/build.gradle.kts` so that seems required in my opinion.

I was able to resolve it by:

```//apply(plugin = "com.malinskiy.marathon") // remove this
apply&lt;com.malinskiy.marathon.gradle.MarathonPlugin&gt;()```
But this is less than ideal.

Wonder if it’s a gradle bug?

```apply(plugin = "com.malinskiy.marathon")```
right in the precompiled script plugin^^
