I have a strange problem that I was not able to find any solution so far. I am quite new to gradle and set up a project using kotlin as the script language for my build-file.
Wherever I look, people seem to have comprehensive autocomplete capabilities in the build.gradle.kts file, but in my case, IntelliJ acts as if it doesn't have access to the sources.
No/very basic autocomplete, and only very basic syntax highlighting is happening.
For example if I click on the plugins` block (or any other block for that matter) to see the definition, IntelliJ tells me "Cannot find declaration to got to"
There is very little context-sensitive autocomplete:
I have read this answer about adding the -all distribution jar to the gradle-wrapper.properties file but it did not change anything. My gradle-wrapper.properties looks like this:
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1-bin.zip
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
I am using:
