I've logged [an issue](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-module-tools/issues/49) in our ignition-module-tools repo related to the error above.

While removing `moduleDependenciesSpec` will result in a successful build, the better workaround might be to replace the plugin configuration at the top of your root `build.gradle.kts` with version [`0.3.0`](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-module-tools/releases) (latest at time of writing).
