gradle not able to detect module

Question

I have a multimodule project. there is 2 modules: - server module - domain module

in the build.gradle of the domain module I put :

group = 'com.xxx.yyyy.zzz'
version = '1.0.0-SNAPSHOT'

and the server module imports the domain module as follow :

dependencies {
compile group: 'com.xxx.yyyy.zzz', name: 'domain', version: '1.0.0-SNAPSHOT'

...
}

howerver he is not able to detect it! the jar is published to the maven m2 repo and I am able to see it. and i am using mavenLocal to get dependecies from the m2

repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    mavenCentral()
}

I deleted the gradle cache, stopped the gradle daemon without success!

Any idea ?

the build.gradle of the server module:

group = 'com.xxx.yyy.zzz'
version = '1.0.0-SNAPSHOT'
repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    mavenCentral()

}

apply plugin: "org.springframework.boot"
apply plugin: "net.ltgt.apt"
apply plugin: "maven"
apply plugin: 'base'
apply plugin: 'maven-publish'

dependencies {
    compile group: 'com.xxx.yyy.zzz', name: 'domaine', version: '1.0.0-SNAPSHOT'
// other dependecies ......
}

the build.gradle of the domain module:

group = 'com.desjardins.experiencecredit.gestiondemandes'
version = '1.0.0-SNAPSHOT'

repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    mavenCentral()
}

apply plugin: "maven"
apply plugin: 'base'
apply plugin: 'maven-publish'


uploadArchives {
    repositories {
        mavenDeployer {
            repository(url: mavenrepo)
        }
    }
}

jar.finalizedBy uploadArchives

the settings.gradle of the main project :

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        gradlePluginPortal()
    }
}
rootProject.name = 'XXX'
include 'server'
include 'domaine'

If you have multiple modules in the same project, you should instead declare the dependencies using the project object:

settings.gradle at root project level

rootProject.name = 'my-application'

include 'server'
include 'domain'

Then define the build files - root project build.gradle, server module build.gradle and domain module build.gradle.

In the server module's build.gradle, declare the dependency as follows:

dependencies {
  compile project(':domain')

  ...
}
