Can't resolve imports when using includeBuild in package with v3.13.0

[jjavery]

Extension Name: vscode-gradle
Extension Version: v3.13.0
OS Version: macOS 13.6
VSCode version: v1.83.1

Describe the bug

Java imports of local packages can't be resolved when using the includeBuild feature in a gradle.settings file. This only occurs with vscode-gradle v3.13.0. Going back to v3.13.7 resolves the problems.

To Reproduce

I've created a repository that reproduces the problem here:

https://github.com/jjavery/vscode-gradle-includebuild-bug

Open vscode-gradle-includebuild-bug.code-workspace in VSCode, wait for the Java build, and observe the errors in the PROBLEMS panel.

Expected behavior

Expect to be able to use includeBuild to define a composite build of packages in a VSCode workspace.

Does the bug still exist if you disable all other extensions?

Yes, although I didn't try it without Language Support for Java v1.23.0

Additional context

Unsure if relevant but all of my testing has been with a VSCode workspace. Each package is it's own folder in a single workspace.

We experience the same problem. It seems to be a problem with the new buildServer. Disabling it via "java.gradle.buildServer.enabled": "off" fixes the problem, however disables the new buildServer.

Thank you for reporting the issue. I can reproduce it, fix working in progress...

[marekscholle]

Hi, may I ask on progress / ETA for this issue?

It would be great if we could have includeBuild() working with VSCode and the "new build server" so that projects which – for w/e reason – need to glue several projects into composite build can benefit from the better and seamless IDE experience.

Thank you very much.

[jdneo]

No accurate ETA, but we already have a PR at the build server side to support the composite build: microsoft/build-server-for-gradle#122

Should not be too far in the future I think.

It's pretty wild that even if you create a regular java project with additional library modules and confirm it to work, but then take one of those modules and move it outside the project and create a symbolic link to the module instead the imports start to fail in VSCode.

I.e. do someting like this:

mkdir demo && cd demo && gradlew init

Select type of project to generate:
  1: basic
  2: application
  3: library
  4: Gradle plugin
Enter selection (default: basic) [1..4] 2

Select implementation language:
  1: C++
  2: Groovy
  3: Java
  4: Kotlin
  5: Scala
  6: Swift
Enter selection (default: Java) [1..6] 3

Split functionality across multiple subprojects?:
  1: no - only one application project
  2: yes - application and library projects
Enter selection (default: no - only one application project) [1..2] 2

Select build script DSL:
  1: Groovy
  2: Kotlin
Enter selection (default: Groovy) [1..2] 1

Generate build using new APIs and behavior (some features may change in the next minor release)? (default: no) [yes, no] 
Project name (default: demo): 
Source package (default: demo):

Confirm in VSCode the imports work fine

Then do this:

mv utilities ../. && ln -s ../utilities .

# and just to verify..
./gradlew test

After you have synchronized the Java classpath configuration the imports aren't working in the editor 😢

The pre-release 3.14.2024070805 is released which contains the fix for the include build. You can install it and have a try.

[jdneo]

Sorry, the 3.14.2024070805 has some issues when the jvm used to launch gradle is < 17. I'm working on a fix now.
