Description

I have a multi-project Gradle project with a parent project and several sub-projects. However, in the sub-project folders I have a settings.gradle file, so if gradle is invoked from within the sub-folder the sub-project behaves as a root project. This is intentional.

When I open the parent project in NetBeans, the sub-projects are correctly identified as belong to the parent project, but when build actions are done on them the gradle command is invoked from the sub-folder, e.g.:

JAVA_HOME="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_202.jdk/Contents/Home"
cd /Users/scott/dev/Kayak/MyParentProject/MySubProject; /Users/scott/dev/gradle/bin/gradle --configure-on-demand -x check build

Instead the build target should be augmented with the project path:

JAVA_HOME="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_202.jdk/Contents/Home"
cd /Users/scott/dev/Kayak/MyParentProject; /Users/scott/dev/gradle/bin/gradle --configure-on-demand -x check :MySubProject:build
