Hello, I'm using composite builds to locally work on project `B` from `A`.
`B` includes several subprojects and I'd like to include one, say `subproject`, as a dependency in `A`
Is there any way to do this nicely with composite builds, what would my alternatives be if there isn't?

<https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/composite_builds.html#included_build_declaring_substitutions>

I've tried substituting but something like
```substitute(module("<http://my.org:subproject|my.org:subproject>")).with(project(":subproject"))```
doesn't get resolved when doing
```implementation("<http://my.org:subproject|my.org:subproject>")```
Though apart from that, it builds fine.

The following works totally fine however:
```substitute(module("<http://my.org:somerandomname|my.org:somerandomname>")).with(project(":"))

//in build.gradle
implementation("<http://my.org:somerandomname|my.org:somerandomname>")```


not sure, it's worked for me before -- double-check for typos I guess?

I've been looking for quite a while now haha, perhaps it's a bug? I'm on 6.5.1, maybe someone else could try to reproduce locally.

Maybe this just isn't supported or I'm declaring the dependency wrong. (edit: oh sorry didn't see you said it's worked for you before... huh)

whipped this up <https://github.com/octylFractal/gradle-subproject-composite-builds>

I'll look through and triple check everything, also going to link to my exact files in a bit

Here they are:
<https://github.com/MineInAbyss/AbyssalCreatures/blob/gradle-updates/settings.gradle.kts|Project A build.gradle>
<https://github.com/MineInAbyss/AbyssalCreatures/blob/gradle-updates/build.gradle.kts|Project A settings.gradle>
<https://github.com/MineInAbyss/Idofront/blob/annotation-processing/settings.gradle|Project B settings.gradle>
<https://github.com/MineInAbyss/Idofront/tree/annotation-processing/annotation|Project B's subproject>

curious, do you have B cloned as `Idofront` or `idofront`?

the repo states capital-I, but your `includeBuild` call is lowercase-i

It is capitalized, I'll try changing that locally

needed to drop `githubPackages` otherwise it crashed though

```+--- com.mineinabyss:idofront -&gt; project :Idofront
\--- com.mineinabyss:idofront-annotation -&gt; project :Idofront:annotation```

Ugh probably something to do with cache then, I'll try clearing that

Hmm doesn't seem like that did anything... Also, the github package block doesn't work since it requires github access tokens in your properties (it's really stupid they made a public repo that requires credentials)

yea, I really don't know what could be wrong, seems like something on your end, if you feel comfortable doing so you could upload a `--scan`

I'm actually unfaimiliar with gradle scans. Perhaps you have some ideas as to what I could try clearing, I just deleted `~/.gradle/caches`, forget what else there is

maybe run `./gradlew clean` to clean up your local build dirs

besides that there's not too much else caching-wise

Oh I finally got it! Had to set the source and target compatibility for java, it was confused about dependencies for :compileJava. Not too sure about the details, I guess it may have not occured on your computer because there was only one version of Java, at least that's the case for my laptop where it worked.
