Cannot apply plugin from another .gradle file

[burdoto]

This is my buildscript:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "io.codearte.gradle.nexus:gradle-nexus-staging-plugin:0.20.0"
    }
}

apply plugin: "io.codearte.nexus-staging"

It is copied 1:1 from the Gradle page, yet I get the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Script '...\gradle\publishing.gradle' line: 14

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating script.

Do you have the buildscript {} in your build.gradle or in publishing.gradle? If the later, try to move it (just that block) to the main build.gradle. AFAIR, there is an open issue with the buildscript dependencies defined in other files.

Fixed my issue, thanks 👍

Great to hear. You may want to subscribe to that issue to be informed when (if) it is fixed.
