npx instrumentdynatrace gradle=android/build.gradle.kts fails

[Aman-Shaikh]

Hello there,

I have react native app with android folder having build.gradle.kts when I do npx instrumentdynatrace gradle=android/build.gradle.kts it fails to set up android side of the project and give error .gradle file not found even though it is there.

Hi, 
build.gradle.kts itself should be supported. Android Gradle plugin supports Kotlin DSL and must be applied in the top-level Android build file, either build.gradle or build.gradle.kts.
Here documentation:
Dynatrace Android Gradle plugin 
But For React Native,in documentation you can see this:

npx instrumentDynatrace

from the project root and let it apply the configuration from dynatrace.config.js, instead of passing the Gradle file manually.

So this looks more like a limitation or bug in the instrumentDynatrace CLI when using the explicit gradle=android/build.gradle.kts argument, rather than lack of .kts support in Dynatrace itself. I’d recommend:

• making sure android/build.gradle.kts is the top-level Android build file
• running npx instrumentDynatrace without the manual gradle=... argument
• and if it still fails, opening a Dynatrace support case because the docs say build.gradle.kts is supported
