Gradle Local Project Dependency

Question

I have 2 Gradle projects both inside the same directory. The directory structure is as follows:

ParentDirectory\
    GradleProjectA\
        build.gradle
    GradleProjectB\
        settings.gradle
        build.gradle

I want to add GradleProjectA as a dependency to GradleProjectB. In the settings.gradle for GradleProjectB, I've tried adding include 'GradleProjectA' and then in build.gradle: compile project(':GradleProjectA') but that didn't work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

The way I did something like this is as follows:

GradleProjectB/settings.gradle:

include ':GradleProjectA'
project(':GradleProjectA').projectDir = new File('../GradleProjectA')

GradleProjectB/build.gradle:

compile project(":GradleProjectA")

Answer 2

In the latest version of Gradle, you can use Composite Builds, like that:

In GradleProjectB's settings.gradle, add the following line:

includeBuild "../GradleProjectA"

It will automatically handle dependency collisions and all that stuff.
