Gradle executor is not detected if only build.gradle.kts file is present

[sndl]

pulumi-java/pkg/internal/executors/executor_gradle.go

Lines 88 to 92 in af0e439

	gradleMarkers := []string{
	"settings.gradle",
	"settings.gradle.kts",
	"build.gradle",
	}

The code above is used to detect an executor, and if I have only build.gradle.kts file in my project, then it falls through to sbt executor

Also, this function might be worth looking at as well:

pulumi-java/pkg/internal/executors/executor_gradle.go

Lines 58 to 62 in af0e439

	func (gradle) findGradleRoot(workdir fsys.ParentFS) (fsys.ParentFS, string, error) {
	gradleRootMarkers := []string{
	"settings.gradle",
	"settings.gradle.kts",
	}

Thank you for noting this. Would you be interested in contributing a PR? Perhaps something as easy as adding build.gradle.kts to the markers list would work?

I have run into this problem in a few projects now, and in most cases adding an empty settings.gradle.kts was doing the trick. However, the problem now is that for a multi-module project these settings.gradle.kts are causing Gradle to think that this a root module (while in fact it's sub-module of a multi-module project).

Facing the same problem within a monorepo, where all the Gradle stuff is under /root and the infrastructure is in /infra

An empty settings.gradle.kts did not help and produces

Error(error: failed to discover plugin requirements: language host could not determine Pulumi packages: could not find ./gradlew, gradle on the $PATH: exec: "gradle": executable file not found in %PATH%

Btw, around November 2022 this must have worked. Maybe not with Kotlin DSL but with Groovy, as I was using it from subdirectories

@t0yv0 as you asked for a contribution, I'm wondering if something is missing with this contributed PR that would fix the problem or if it just wasn't noticed? #1231

indeed, an empty settings.gradle.kts helps as it is part of the gradleRootMarkers posted

without it the error is as follows:

error: failed to discover plugin requirements: language host could not determine Pulumi packages: could not find ./sbt, sbt on the $PATH: exec: "sbt": executable file not found in $PATH
