Change in buildSrc is not easily propagated to IntelliJ build scripts editor

[eskatos]

When changing something in buildSrc, the script dependencies for build scripts aren't updated, making the change not visible to the IntelliJ build script editor.

Expected Behavior

Changes should be available right away.

Current Behavior

Changes aren't propagated correctly.

This is because the Gradle Kotlin DSL script dependencies resolver does short-circuit dependencies requests that didn't see a change in either the plugins or buildscript block of scripts. This drastic short-circuit should be removed, for correctness. A more fine grained short-circuit mechanism could be introduced to compensate for the extra processing.

One workaround is to make a change in the plugins or buildscript block of the edited script.

@eskatos I'm still seeing this issue in my builds.
However, repeatedly refreshing or changing the plugins doesn't fix the issue for me. I have to restart IntelliJ to fix the issue.

This bug is indeed still present. With Versions.kt in buildSrc that contains dependency versions, classpath still contains old versions after versions were changed in Versions.kt even through gradle itself have already downloaded new dependencies. Restart or change to settings.gradle.kts of root project is necessary for IDEA to detect the changes.
