IntelliJ (using gradle): Can't find Kotlin plugin even though it's installed

Question

I\'m trying to build my project using gradle but it seems that it can\'t find my kotlin plugin, even though I did add it using \"install plugin from disk\".

Answer 1

I can guess that you doesn't have repository in build.gradle, so please compare your build file with following, and then make "Gradle Refresh" in Idea.

buildscript {
  ext.kotlin_version = '<version to use>'
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    // or better:
    jcenter()
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
  }
}

apply plugin: "kotlin"

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
  // or better:
  jcenter()
}

dependencies {
  compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"
}

Pay more attention to buildscript part of config: repositories here is necessary!

I got config from here, with my little refinements.
