Gradle composite build project dependency

Help/Discuss

I’m struggling with a problem with Gradle composite build. I have 2 separate gradle builds - project1 and project2. In first project (project2) all dependencies are defined in a separate file, which is applied inside project2/build.gradle, e.g.:

project2-dependencies.gradle

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
    implementation project(':module1')
    developmentOnly 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools'
    testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
}

I use that file also inside second project (project1) - it is assigned using gradle.includedBuild:

apply from: file("${gradle.includedBuild('project2').projectDir}/module-specific-dependencies.gradle")

now, if I’m trying to run project2 it works fine, but for project1 I receive below error:

Project with path ':module1' could not be found in root project 'project1'.

I tried to change project2 dependency to:

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
    implementation 'com.examplemod2:module1:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
    developmentOnly 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools'
    testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
}

after that change problem was fixed - I was able to run project1, but below problem occurred during launching project2:

Execution failed for task ':compileJava'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':compileClasspath'.
   > Could not find com.examplemod2:module1:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.
     Required by:
         project :

only below solution worked for me:

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
    implementation project.findProject(':module1') != null ? project.findProject(':module1') : 'com.examplemod2:module1:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
    developmentOnly 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools'
    testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
}

but it seems to be too big workaround - how in this case I can use project dependency, assuming that project structure cannot be changed (dependencies have to be defined inside separate file)?
I created example project with this problem: link
