I have a root project, two sub-projects A and B.
I want to write a common configuration of A and B in the root project build.gradle file, but I always get the following error:
Plugin with id ‘com.google.protobuf’ not found.

When I write the same configuration in the A project build.gradle file, the compiler can be passed correctly.

I have been stuck here for a long time, who can help me.

You are using incorrect coordinates for the plugin. It should be com.google.protobuf:protobuf-gradle-plugin:0.8.0. For more information please see the GitHub page of the plugin.

I do not quite understand your answer,
I have already said that when I write the same configuration in the build.gradle file of the subproject A, the compilation can pass normally.
But when I move the configuration to the root project, subprojects{ }, compile error, see the code I gave above.
I’ve learned some usage from the links you gave, but I still have not found the cause of the error.
You can help me find out where the wrong configuration? Thank you. :grin:

The buildscript block needs to go on the top level of the build script (outside of subprojects).

Thank you so much. I’m too sloppy. :wink:
Where can I learn about the use of gradle buildscript？

It 's too late for me to go to bed. Goodbye. :wave: Thanks again for your help.

You can learn about it in the user guide. However, I’d like to mention that we could do a better job in being more detailed about limitation and gotchas.
