Are the two projects siblings under the same parent directory Or one project contains the other project

Pablichjenkov · Answer

Show how you add the new project in the settings

Ahmed Elkhodery · Answer

there is the `main project` which is considered the most upper level and another seperate project inside it added as git submodule which is its own project and doesn t depened on `main project` in any way

Pablichjenkov · Answer

Should be alright

Pablichjenkov · Answer

The gradle DSL in settings how it looks

Ahmed Elkhodery · Answer

inside the main project settings gradle kts includeBuild `github submodule project` i m not sure about this `currently working on jvm module` build gradle kts implementation project `kmp library with jvm target`

Pablichjenkov · Answer

Should look something like ```include component project component projectDir = File component component ``` Where the File has the path relative to the root of your current setting project

Ahmed Elkhodery · Answer

thank you that made the `component` i want to be included in the main project but gradle fails to sync because it s saying that the `component` s projects dependecnies could not be found confused `component` depends on other local gradle projects inside `github submodule project`

Pablichjenkov · Answer

You could potentially keep doing the same However I would advise pulling you git submodules in the same directory where you have the main project as siblings That way you can have many of them and your main project keep flat Otherwise if you use it as child project it digs deeper in and is harder to follow

Pablichjenkov · Answer

In this project I use that technique I described you can check it out the varied settings gradle file and build gradle <https github com pablichjenkov templato tree master|https github com pablichjenkov templato tree master> Ultimately if it becomes too messy not optimal but mavenLocal still an option

Ahmed Elkhodery · Answer

Hello thanks for your solution it s working for me but also this one from this answer works in a more natural way <https stackoverflow com questions 12154031 multiple settings gradle files for multiple projects building 29664571 29664571> just added a file called submodule settings gradle kts which is generic and can be reused multiple times

Pablichjenkov · Answer

Ah cool glad you solved the problem I just checked really interesting the settings stuff
