If setting up a multi-project build by specifying something like include ":component:core", ":component:app:runtime" in the projects root settings.gradle, then I want to see two projects getting build only, core and runtime. However Gradle decides to also build :component as well as :component:app. However it doesn't make sense to build anything here as these are no real projects but simply folders used to structure the project layout (if I could start from scratch I would of course choose a different directory layout). If I would want to see these projects getting build as well wouldn't I have added them to the include statement? Even worse, any common configuration I define for the subprojects via configuration injection in the root projects build.gradle file will also be applied to projects :component and as :component:app. Is there a way to avoid this behavior? Shouldn't Gradle support multiple settings.gradle files at different hierarchy levels? |

We plan on simplifying this in the Gradle 0.10 release. In the meantime, you can get the behaviour you want by doing something like this in your settings.gradle: include 'core' include 'runtime' project(':core').projectDir = new File(rootDir, 'component/core') project(':runtime').projectDir = new File(rootDir, 'component/app/runtime') |

This works quite well as long as I want to build from the project root or am I in the component/core or component/app/runtime directory. However what to do if I want to build all my subprojects from the component or component/app directories? As this is not a registered project node anymore I cannot build from there, right? I think I can live with that for now as long as there is hope to see this addressed in a future release. Do you have the new behavior for 0.10 specified somewhere? |

You can always build from everywhere if you specify the root project dir: gradle -p/myroot You can additionally only build subprojects by specifying absolute tasks paths: gradle -p/myroot :subproject:build The future improved behavior is nowhere specified yet. |
