I’m developing a multi-project with a custom-named main build script file, but the subprojects are not found when calling to it.  
Is this the expected behaviour?  
I’ve created a repo showing the issue at [https://github.com/lucasvc/gradle-multi-project-custom-buildfilename](https://github.com/lucasvc/gradle-multi-project-custom-buildfilename).

Thanks!

I faced with same issue. And after few hour research I found next solution:  
add in your settings.gradle `rootProject.buildFileName='custom-name.gradle'` and launch your build

P.S. Am I late? =)
