How to accept the Gradle build scan terms of service automatically

If you're using Gradle build scans you'll notice that the default settings are not very automation friendly because it requires you to accept the terms of service on each build. There's a good reason for this, they don't want people to accidentally publish private data to their service without opting in, but there wasn't a clear way to accept the terms of service automatically that I could find.

Luckily, Stack Overflow exists and I found this Groovy DSL sample:

extensions.findByName("buildScan")?.withGroovyBuilder {
    setProperty("termsOfServiceUrl", "https://gradle.com/terms-of-service")
    setProperty("termsOfServiceAgree", "yes")
}

Interestingly enough, this works verbatim in the Kotlin DSL too!
