Define things in the init.gradle

this block of code

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.me.mystyff-jvm:+'
        classpath "com.linkedin.pygradle:pygradle-plugin:0.+"
    }
}

adding this to the build script works just fine. but when i move it to the wrapper/init.d/init.gradle i get errors about not being able to resolve the dependencies. I tried searching thru issues and see all kinds of circular reports about this sort of thing, Can i put this type of piece into the init.gradle or not?

Try wrapping your code in allprojects {}

That’s what I was doing. I was wrapping it in I believe gradle.allprojects It wasn’t working. I’ll track down the exact syntax I tried in a few hours

I should mention defining the buildscript.repositories in the init is working fine. It’s the dependencies that isn’t working. I’m curious if that is possible in the init.gradle

Sorry, I missed the part in your original post about the dependency resolution problems. Did you add any repositories to the buildscript block, I don’t see them in your example?

Yes, you should be able to add the dependencies from init.gradle.

Heres the init. When the buildscript portion above is in the build.gradle of the project, everything works fine.

gradle.projectsLoaded {
    rootProject.allprojects {
        buildscript {
            repositories {
                mavenLocal()
                maven { url "https://artifactorytest.mycompany.com/artifactory/jvm-transitive" }
                maven { url "https://artifactorytest.mycompany.com/artifactory/gradle-plugins-snapshot" }
                maven { url "https://artifactorytest.mycompany.com/artifactory/gradle-plugins" }
            }
        }
    }
}

but when i do this

gradle.projectsLoaded {
    rootProject.allprojects {
        buildscript {
            repositories {
                mavenLocal()
                maven { url "https://artifactorytest.mycompany.com/artifactory/jvm-transitive" }
                maven { url "https://artifactorytest.mycompany.com/artifactory/gradle-plugins-snapshot" }
                maven { url "https://artifactorytest.mycompany.com/artifactory/gradle-plugins" }
            }
           dependencies {
            classpath 'com.me.mystyff-jvm:+'
            classpath "com.linkedin.pygradle:pygradle-plugin:0.+"
          }
        }
    }
}

i started getting the aforementioned class not found errors.

If I take out your company specifics and add a repository that is capable of resolving pygradle-plugin, then everything is working.

init.gradle:

gradle.projectsLoaded {
    rootProject.allprojects {
        buildscript {
            repositories {
                jcenter()
            }
           dependencies {
            classpath "com.linkedin.pygradle:pygradle-plugin:0.+"
          }
        }
    }
}

build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.linkedin.python-sdist'

Are you getting class not found errors or dependency resolution errors?
