Dependency issue in gradle when external project got included

Question

I am getting following issue when I included external project in gradle (I am using Intellij IDEA).

Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':build'.
> Could not find :<external-project>:.
  Searched in the following locations:
      file:/Users/<user>/.m2/repository//<external-project>//<external-project>-.pom
      file:/Users/<user>/.m2/repository//<external-project>//<external-project>-.jar

I have following line in settings.gradle:

include ':' project(':').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../')

and build.gradle has: compile ':external-project'

individually both projects are working properly but when I am including external-project I am getting dependency issue.

Answer 1

引用settings.gradle中添加的项目的正确方法是：

compile project(':external-project')
