Documentation "Declaring Dependencies between Subprojects" is incorrect

[LPalmerMSI]

The documentation located here is incorrect and will not produce a buildable project.

In order for this project to build an additional build.gradle file must also be created that contains the proper plugin for the buildScript project.

Expected Behavior

The documentation should detail steps to create a working multi project build with shared dependencies.

Current Behavior

Non working build.

(leaving error messages to be indexed by Google search and help somebody encountering this issue like me 😏)

I followed the Kotlin DSL example.

The error is something like this:

Build file '/Users/user/myproject/api/build.gradle.kts' line: 1

Plugin [id: 'myproject.java-conventions'] was not found in any of the following sources:

* Try:
> Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
> Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.plugins.UnknownPluginException: Plugin [id: 'myproject.java-conventions'] was not found in any of the following sources:

- Gradle Core Plugins (plugin is not in 'org.gradle' namespace)
- Plugin Repositories (plugin dependency must include a version number for this source)
...

Creating buildSrc/build.gradle.kts with the following script resolved the error.

plugins {
    `kotlin-dsl`
}

repositories {
    // for kotlin-dsl plugin
    gradlePluginPortal()
}

Sorry for the late reply.

The documentation was updated since the issue was opened.

This issue should be fixed by

• Update Dependency Management section of docs - Add advanced tutorial #32511
