Scala-reflect not found - scala

Question

I have a Kotlin based Gradle project, where I'm using Scala. All my dependencies are coming from the internal repository, so I cannot use any Scala version, but only the ones available.
Because of that I have the following list of dependencies:
plugins {
java
}
//...
apply(plugin = "scala")
//...
dependencies {
implementation("org.scala-lang.scala-reflect:2.12.5")
compileOnly("org.scala-lang.scala-library:2.12.9") {
exclude("org.scala-lang.scala-reflect")
}
On paper it should work - I defined dependencies available on internal nexus.
However, when I try to build the project, I'm getting the following error:
Execution failed for task ':compileScala'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':zinc'.
> Could not find scala-reflect-2.12.10.jar (org.scala-lang.scala-reflect:2.10.10).
> Searched in the following locations:
<nexus_url>
Is it because of scala plugin?
UPDATE
I have checked that the error occurs, because the version of Zinc I have is built on top of Scala 2.12.10. And since the version is not available on the nexus, it cannot be ran.
Is there a way to change the Scala version Zinc is using?

Answer 1

After searching through Gradle Scala plugin documentation (https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/scala_plugin.html#sec:configure_zinc_compiler)
I have found the solution.
What I had to do was changing the Zinc version:
scala {
zincVersion.set("1.3.1")
}
