Scoverage fails if dependency project does not use it too

[JozoVilcek]

I have a hybrid git repository, with multiple projects owned by different stakeholders. I want to introduce scoverage for some of them, but it breaks if they depend on others, which does not (yet) use scoverage plugin.

Looking ant the code here:
https://github.com/scoverage/gradle-scoverage/blob/master/src/main/groovy/org/scoverage/ScoveragePlugin.groovy#L166

I have a feeling it should work. But might be wrong. This is the error I get

Caused by: org.gradle.api.UnknownTaskException: Task with name 'compileScoverageScala' not found in project ':project:xyz.

Is there something wrong with my expectations?
Gradle: 6.0.1
ScoveragePlugin: 4.0.1
Scoverage: 1.4.1
Scala: 2.11
