Unable to sync with multi-module project

[kelvinharron]

I would like to add gradle-lint-plugin to our android project which is multi-module, made up of root build.gradle below:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        ...
        flatDir {
            dirs 'libs'
        }
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

I can sync the plugin by adding the following to the existing allprojects block:

buildscript {
    repositories { mavenCentral() }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.netflix.nebula:gradle-lint-plugin:16.17.0'
    }
}

It does specify in the documentation to add this in an all projects block which I do in the existing one:

apply plugin: 'nebula.lint'
gradleLint.rules = ['all-dependency'] // add as many rules here as you'd like

This will result in:

What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating root project 'our-project'. Plugin with id 'nebula.lint' not found.

If I instead add it to the app module, I get this instead:

``` What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'. > Failed to apply plugin 'nebula.lint'. > Task with name 'fixGradleLint' not found in root project 'our-register'. * Try: Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

Would it be possible to get some guidance on what exactly I'm doing wrong here? or is the unusual root build.gradle to blame? No matter where the apply plugin statement is in the root build.gradle it just won't know what the plugin is, so it might just be a gradle limitation.

I'm using Gradle 6.8.3. Thank you.

The solution was to move my entire buildscript to the root build.gradle and set apply plugin: 'nebula.lint' at the bottom fo the root build.gradle.
