Could not find method dexcount() for arguments

When I add dexcount {…} to my app gradle, I get this error:

Error:org.gradle.internal.metaobject.AbstractDynamicObject$CustomMessageMissingMethodException: Could not find method dexcount() for arguments [build_co6u1j4pjvt1t3moujul16v4c$_run_closure1@22294fa4] on project ':app' of type org.gradle.api.Project.

If I remove the dexcount block then I can build and run the app just fine (it just doesn’t give any dex counts in the output folder).

app gradle file is:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral() // or jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.getkeepsafe.dexcount:dexcount-gradle-plugin:0.7.2'
    }
}

// make sure this line comes *after* you apply the Android plugin

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'com.getkeepsafe.dexcount'

//apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'
dexcount {
    format = "list"
    includeClasses = false
    includeClassCount = false
    includeFieldCount = true
    includeTotalMethodCount = false
    orderByMethodCount = false
    verbose = false
    maxTreeDepth = Integer.MAX_VALUE
    teamCityIntegration = false
    teamCitySlug = null
    runOnEachPackage = true
    maxMethodCount = 64000
}

    defaultConfig {

        signingConfig signingConfigs.config
    }

        }
        debug {
            versionNameSuffix "-debug"
        }
    }
    flavorDimensions "mode"
    productFlavors {
        free {
            dimension "mode"
        }
        pro {
            dimension "mode"
            applicationIdSuffix ".pro"
        }
    }
}

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Great, thank you - I’ll have a fix shortly. Appreciate your help!

OK - would you please turn it off, put the dexcount config block back into your gradle file, then build? If the build succeeds, then I’ll be confident that I know the bug.
