Could not get unknown property 'PrivateData' for object of type org.gradle.api.internal.initialization.DefaultScriptHandler

Question

There is an open source project here.

After trying multiple times to build it, there is an error that make build Failed :

Task failed with an exception.

Where:

Build file '/src/apps/build.gradle' line: 19

What went wrong:

A problem occurred evaluating root project 'apps'.

Could not get unknown property 'PrivateData' for object of type org.gradle.api.internal.initialization.DefaultScriptHandler.

Here is line 19 :

buildscript {
    PrivateData.merge(project, "all-apps")
    ...
}

And the defined PrivateData.merge(...) is in /buildSrc/src/main/java/MergePrivateData.kt file:

object PrivateData {

    ...
    @JvmStatic
    @JvmOverloads
    fun merge(project: Project, dataDirName: String = "") {
    ...
    }
...
}

The source successful build is here and I follow the steps, but I can not find my mistake.

Please help me.

Answer 1

1. From the apps folder remove the buildSrc file.
2. From the root copy the buildSrc folder into the apps folder and rebuild it.
