Setting .gradle not executing

I have code_quality.gradle and settings.gradle
When I run gradle -b code_quality.gradle -c settings.gradle

Sub projects are not executing/applying which I configured in setting.gradle
if I change file name code_quality.gradle to build.gradle
it is working as expected .
What is problem with filename ?
how ever I have already build.gradle file creating ear.

Gradle Version : 2.4

I can reproduce this issue and raised GRADLE-3413 for this.

as a workaround, you can add the following snippet to your settings.gradle file

if(gradle.startParameter.buildFile){
    project(':').buildFileName = gradle.startParameter.buildFile.name    
}

Thank you Rene.
