Gradle kotlin script, > Plugin with id `kotlin` not found

Question

I tried to migrate one of my project to Gradle using a Kotlin script.

These are my steps:

• substituted the /gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.jar with this one
• updated the distributionUrl of gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to the same as here
• created the corresponding build.gradle.kts
• setting settings.gradle to rootProject.buildFileName = 'build.gradle.kts'

At that point Intellij detects it and suggests:

You can configure Gradle wrapper to use distribution with sources. It will provide IDE with Gradle API/DSL documentation.

-> Ok, apply suggestion!

Gradle 'hello-kotlin' project refresh failed

Error:Plugin with id 'kotlin' not found.

Then I also tried to try one of the official samples:

• cloned the repo
• opened the sample
• same error

...what am I doing wrong?

I came back to the official sample, tried to invalidate cache and restart, it didn't work

I tried to remove

apply {
    plugin("kotlin")
}

Refresh Gradle, add it again, refresh Gradle, it worked

If I open a src file, Intellij says:

Kotlin not configured

However the sample seems running now..

Intellij 2017.1 EAP

Kotlin 1.1m04

Answer 1

It seems working now, this is what I did:

• I closed the project and quitted Intellij

• in the project directory, I removed:

  • .gradle
  • .idea
  • build
  • gradle
  • gradlew
  • gradlew.bat
  • settings.gradle

• I left only src and the build.gradle.kts script

• copy/paste from the hello-kotlin:

  • gradle
  • gradlew
  • gradlew.bat
  • settings.gradle

• open Intellij, chose "Open Project" and it was automatically showing up as a Gradle Project, selected and opened
