How to set global variables in gradle.kts?

Question

My app uses several gradle.kts scripts. I want to set one variable which would be global for everyone.

object Versions{
   val kotlin_version = "1.3.60-eap-25"
}

but it is not resolved:

 classpath ("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$Versions.kotlin_version")

Answer 1

Declared them in gradle.properties file:

kotlin_version = 1.3.60-eap-25

And use it everywhere by findProperty("kotlin_version ")

Answer 2

in project level gradle the

ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.61'

Should just be:

val kotlinVersion by rootProject.extra { "1.3.61" }

And then you can access it by doing this:

implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:${rootProject.extra.get("kotlinVersion")}")

in your app module
