On Gradle 6.1.1, how to go around adding sourceSets for android project?

The answer on other questions doesn't work anymore, getByName("name") returns error with SourceSet with name 'main' not found.

The official document said to use

sourceSets {
    main {
        java {
            srcDir("thirdParty/src/main/java")
        }
    }
}

However, there are over 20 main that has to be imported and I'm not sure which one is correct.

I'm using gradle 6.5.1, however documentation suggest, that is should also work for you, try:

sourceSets {
    named("main") {
        java.srcDir("../buildSrc/src/main/java")
    }
}

It's also works for build types (debug/release), flavours etc.

Reason for this is that groovy can somehow interpret itself and knows main etc., but on gradle kts, you have call it using named for already existing, or getByName, create etc. base on need.

Similiar situation is for implement and api in groovy you can just use implementationDebug to attach it only for debug version, but in kotlin dsl you have to call it as a string "implementationDebug", because there is no such function

----- PS -----

If named, getByName not works for you, then try to experiment with findByName and create
