How can I add new language Jar as dependency?

[muntasir2000]

I am building a voice for Bangla language. I have prepared marytts-lang-bn jar file, which works for all input types eg. TOKENS, ALLOPHONES, PHONEMES etc.

I have aligned my dataset with gradle-marytts-kaldi-mfa-plugin and got the TextGrid files as output. Now when I apply gradle-marytts-voicebuilding-plugin, set locale as 'bn', and try to add marytts-lang-bn.jar as a dependency for the voicebuilding plugin, it fails with following error - Could not find method files() for arguments [lib/marytts-lang-bn-5.2.jar] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

I changed all occurrence to this dependency in the plugin project -

 project.afterEvaluate {
            project.dependencies {
                // runtimeOnly "de.dfki.mary:marytts-lang-$project.marytts.voice.language:$project.marytts.version", {
                //     exclude group: '*', module: 'groovy-all'
                // }
                runtimeOnly file('lib/marytts-lang-bn-5.2.jar')
            }
        }

If it's relevent, I have added the plugin source in the buildSrc directory and applied to my project.

Could not find method files() for arguments [lib/marytts-lang-bn-5.2.jar] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

In build.gradle, everything in the DSL is in the namespace of the Gradle Project. So it's easy to get used to just writing file('my/path'). However, when writing code in the plugin class, you need to prefix that with the correct namespace, i.e., you have to write project.file(), not just file().

Oh, my bad. Thanks for your prompt reply.
