build.gradle.kts: Unexpected tokens

[milahu]

the readme says

In your `build.gradle[.kts]`: ``` plugins { id "com.github.ben-manes.versions" version "0.41.0" id "nl.littlerobots.version-catalog-update" version "" } ```

but this does not work with build.gradle.kts

i tried to add version-catalog-update-plugin to gradle2nix/build.gradle.kts

 }

 group = "org.nixos.gradle2nix"

but then gradlew versionCatalogUpdate fails with

                 ^ Unexpected tokens (use ';' to separate expressions on the same line)

from the gradle docs i learned that the plugins block in build.gradle.kts should look like

plugins {
  id("com.github.ben-manes.versions") version "0.41.0"
  id("nl.littlerobots.version-catalog-update") version "<latest version>"
}

now gradlew versionCatalogUpdate fails with

could not resolve plugin artifact 'nl.littlerobots.version-catalog-update:nl.littlerobots.version-catalog-update.gradle.plugin:<latest version>'

ok, let me set an actual version in build.gradle.kts

plugins {
  id("com.github.ben-manes.versions") version "0.41.0"
  id("nl.littlerobots.version-catalog-update") version "0.8.4"
}

ok, this build.gradle.kts seems to work
