Hi, I’d like to know if it’s possible to set up a Gradle dependency to a project on my local machine, because I’m working on a something that requires changes to both projects.
For this example let’s say my-project has a dependency on my-library which is set up in the build.gradle.kts of my-project like this:

dependencies {
    implementation("com.example:my-library:1.16")
}

I don’t want to have to build/deploy my-library every time I change something, so is there a way to point the Gradle dependency to the local copy of my-library during development to make this easier?
These projects are both under the same folder so I tried implementation("../my-library") but that didn’t work. I’m on a Mac using IntelliJ, not sure if that matters.

You probably want to use a composite build

Thanks I’ll have a look

I did put a sample project using include and includeBuild strategies. You can check the Github link at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-50064. If you don’t need Kotlin/JS, then I think using include will work. Otherwise only possibility is to go back to Kotlin 1.5.10.
