No dependencies found in settings.gradle.kts

Describe the bug

Hi... I would really like to use this plugin for several applications I'm working on. However, it seems to not be picking up any dependencies from a settings.gradle.kts. Not sure why as it is explicitly listed as supported, and I have plenty of things in my version catalogs.

Brief snippet from my settings.gradle.kts

// ...
dependencyResolutionManagement {
    versionCatalogs {
        create("plugin") {
            alias("artifactory").toPluginId("com.jfrog.artifactory").version(artifactoryVersion)
            alias("coveralls").toPluginId("com.github.kt3k.coveralls").version(coverallsPluginVersion)
            alias("detekt").toPluginId("io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt").version(detektVersion)
            alias("flyway").toPluginId("org.flywaydb.flyway").version(flywayVersion)
            alias("git-hooks").toPluginId("com.github.jakemarsden.git-hooks").version(gitHooksPluginVersion)
            alias("kotlin").toPluginId("org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm").version(kotlinVersion)
            alias("processes").toPluginId("com.github.johnrengelman.processes").version(processesPluginVersion)
            alias("serialization").toPluginId("org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.serialization").version(kotlinVersion)
            alias("test-logger").toPluginId("com.adarshr.test-logger").version(testLoggerVersion)
            alias("release-hub").toPluginId("com.dipien.releaseshub.gradle.plugin").version(releaseHubVersion)
            alias("spring-boot").toPluginId("org.springframework.boot").version(springBootVersion)
            alias("spring-kotlin").toPluginId("org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.spring").version(kotlinVersion)
            alias("spring-dependency-manager").toPluginId("io.spring.dependency-management")
                .version(springDependencyManagerVersion)
            alias("spring-doc").toPluginId("org.springdoc.openapi-gradle-plugin").version(springDocPluginVersion)
        }
        create("kt") {
            alias("coroutines-core").to(Groups.kotlinx, "kotlinx-coroutines-core").version(kotlinCoroutineVersion)
            alias("coroutines-reactor").to(Groups.kotlinx, "kotlinx-coroutines-reactor").version(kotlinCoroutineVersion)
            alias("serialization").to(Groups.kotlinx, "kotlinx-serialization-json").version(kotlinxSerializationVersion)

            bundle("coroutines", listOf("coroutines-core", "coroutines-reactor"))
        }
        // More catalogs ...
    }
}

However, when i run ./gradlew listDependencies I see the following

settings.gradle.kts
 - No dependencies found here

gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
 - gradle:7.3

build.gradle.kts
 - No dependencies found here

api/build.gradle.kts
 - ${it.module.group}:${it.module.name}:${it.versionConstraint}

domain/build.gradle.kts
 - No dependencies found here

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
have version catalog in gradle settings file

Expected behavior
This should list all dependencies that exist in the settings version catalogs

Hi. The plugin only supports the basic notation: “groupId:artifactId:version”. The [versions] tag on the libs.versions.toml file or the versionRef on the settings.gradle.kts are not supported yet. It will be implemented as part of this issue.

This missing feature is not urgent in my opinion, because given that you are automating all the dependencies upgrades, you don't need to define variables for your versions.

I'm confused... I'm not using versionRef. I'm just using version(), although my versions are delegated to the gradle.properties file. not sure if that is the problem here?

You need to use this format:

alias("firebase-core").to("com.google.firebase:firebase-core:1.0.0")

Ahhh... well. I can't go across 50+ code bases and change all this, so I'll probably have to wait for this feature to be implemented. I'll try to find some time to pull this codebase and see if I can get an implementation working for my use case :)

Really appreciate the speedy responses!
