I have a gradle project I’m trying to add jacoco reporting with aggregation to and I can’t seem to make things work… When I try to add a `buildSrc` plugin to the repo with a build script containing
```groovy
plugins {
id 'groovy-gradle-plugin'
}
```
the build consistantly fails, mentioning that `groovy-gradle-plugin` is not a core plugin. I can’t find any other instances of this with my searching, so I’m asking here.
It is a multimodule project with a root module and some sub modules. one of which will fail to compile due to an intentional error. I’ve attached a zip file with the project for anybody who wants to take a look.
I was following [this](https://docs.gradle.org/current/samples/sample_jvm_multi_project_with_code_coverage.html) guide for this. The only difference I see in this project from the sample provided is that the root module has its own java source and test files which are compiled.
I accidentally deleted the wrapper directory and I was unable to regenerate the wrapper because this error would always occur when I ran `gradle wrapper` as well.
What am i doing wrong?

Looking in `testGradle.zip/buildSrc/.gradle` I see a `6.3` directory, suggesting you were using Gradle 6.3. Support for Groovy [precompiled script plugins](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/custom_plugins.html#sec:precompiled_plugins) (the `groovy-gradle-plugin` plugin) was added in Gradle 6.4.
