Cannot find project in multi-project build

Question for you guys. I am trying to do a multi-project build, but the code suggested in the documentation doesn’t compile. I think it has something to do with the new property format (i.e. “project.ext.blah”) . I have a build.gradle in my root project and I am trying to control the sub-projects from the main build file. Here is my code:

project(':google').identify << {
    project.ext.projVersion = '0.99.2'
    project.ext.projTitle = 'WebDriver For Google'
}
  project(':bing').identify << {
    project.ext.projVersion = '0.99.2'
    project.ext.projTitle = 'WebDriver For Bing'
}

And the exception I get is:

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.GradleScriptException: A problem occurred evaluating root project 'WebDriverTestingTemplate'.

Do you have a ‘settings.gradle’?

3

Yep, you can see my source code at https://github.com/djangofan/WebDriverTestingTemplate except that I am in the middle of hacking the build.gradle so that I can get the dependencies to work like in my question.

4

Looks like you used different project names in ‘settings.gradle’ and ‘build.gradle.’

5

Your right. By looking at that file I just discovered my error. My subdirectory doesn’t match my project(‘google’) rule since the subdirectory is called “proj1-google”.

This was my bad. Can you delete this question from the forum?
