Problem with overriding project.version and project.description in multi-project

Bugs
1

When I try to read the value from project.version and project.description I expect that is act on same way as when I’m reading project.name.
In example from picture in task ‘bootRun’ for project.name I’m getting name of subproject, and that is as expected.
But when I’m reading project.version, I’m always getting a version of the parent project, not from subproject, as I’m getting the name of subproject.
The same behavior is with project.description.

Example of project structure and use case

I can’t reproduce the issue you are reporting. Here’s my example:

settings.gradle

include 'a', 'b', 'c'

build.gradle

version = '1.0'

allprojects {
    task printVersion {
        doLast {
            println project.version
        }
    }
}

project(':b') {
    version = '5.5'
}

Command line:

$ gradle :printVersion
:printVersion
1.0

$ gradle :a:printVersion
:a:printVersion
unspecified

$ gradle :b:printVersion
:b:printVersion
5.5

As you can see the proper project versions are reflected. I guess the reason you are resolving the wrong project version is because you reference the root project instead of the actual subproject. Try to actually assign a closure parameter when referencing the subproject.

subprojects { subproject ->
    println subproject.version
}

Hi, thx for suggested solution.

I found out that I have a problem when I’m trying to add bootRun task in subproject, and in that case that task is getting information from the parent.
If I create custom tasks in subproject, then that task is getting proper values from project variable.

Kind regards,
