Defining dimensions in Kotlin DSL for gradle

Question

I'm converting my build.gradle to Kotlin DSL. I have 2 build flavors in the app, and I can't figure out how to set the dimension for the flavors:

flavorDimensions("type")

productFlavors {
    create("free") {
        buildConfigField("boolean", "IS_DONATE", false.toString())
        dimension = "type"
    }
    create("donate") {
        buildConfigField("boolean", "IS_DONATE", true.toString())
        dimension = "type"
    }
}

the dimension = "type" part is failing; how do you set the dimension to each flavor?

Use setDimension("type")

flavorDimensions.add("type")

productFlavors {
    create("free") {
        buildConfigField("boolean", "IS_DONATE", false.toString())
        setDimension("type")
    }
  
    create("donate") {
        buildConfigField("boolean", "IS_DONATE", true.toString())
        setDimension("type")
    }
}

Well, this is awkward, I had tried that, and it was showing in red, as if it was an error, but I just tried again, and now it flies. – Francesc Feb 18 '19 at 16:15
@Francesc wasn't it so because gradle needed to resync and the project needed to rebuild? same thing as with annotations and generated code (e.g. dagger) – Antek Apr 07 '20 at 15:53
flavorDimensions was deprecated. you should use flavorDimensions.add – Majid Sadeghi Jul 03 '22 at 07:50

If you are using a newer gradle version with kotlin script:

flavorDimensions.add("type")
    
productFlavors {
    create("free") {
        dimension = "type"
        buildConfigField(...)
    }
}

As an addition to the answer of Shweta Chauhan, in new versions of Gradle, setDimension("type") is deprecated.

You should use dimension("type") instead.
