How can I resolve the "plugins block cannot be applied to (java.io.Serializable...)" error when using the file() method in my Gradle script?

I'm encountering an error in my Gradle script where the plugins block throws the following error:

plugins block cannot be applied to (java.io.Serializable & java.lang.Comparable>).

Here is the relevant snippet of my script:

dependencies {
    ...
    intellijPlatform {
        ...
        def myPlugin = providers.gradleProperty("useLocal").get() == 'true' ?
            file("../path/to/local/plugin/") :
            'com.example.plugin:' + pluginVersion
        plugins myPlugin
        ...
    }
    ...
}

The else condition works fine because it handles strings (e.g., 'com.example.plugin:pluginVersion'), but the file() method in the if condition seems to be incompatible with the plugins block.

How can I correctly reference a local plugin path (../path/to/local/plugin/) in this case?
