Gradle: how to run lint automatically with `check`?

I don’t know if this is a bug or just my ignorance regarding Gradle, but I can’t seem to do:

test.dependsOn ktlintCheck

I get this message:

A problem occurred evaluating root project 'lintsetup'.
  > Could not get unknown property 'ktlintCheck' for root project 'lintsetup' of type org.gradle.api.Project.

I created an otherwise clean project, which has a build.gradle like this:

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.21'

    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    }
}

plugins {
    id "org.jlleitschuh.gradle.ktlint" version "3.0.0"
}

group 'lintsetup'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

apply plugin: 'kotlin-platform-jvm'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:$kotlin_version"
    testCompile "junit:junit:4.12"
    testCompile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test-junit:$kotlin_version"
    testCompile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test:$kotlin_version"
}

test.dependsOn ktlintCheck

@mverleg feel free to reopen if it will not work for you.

We should support this. For now the solution is to do the following:

afterEvaluate {
    test.dependsOn ktlintCheck
}
