Bloop doesn't work for multi project build in gradle

[q-joshualeong]

Hi all,

I’m using gradle for my project but can’t seem to get metals working across multiple sub projects. I’m also new to bloop.

I’ve done up a minimal kinda project example of what my project structure looks like.

https://github.com/q-joshualeong/example-scala-metals

When I do gradlew bloopInstall i see the .bloop folder has bloop config files generated and i can see that the classpath section is pointing to “.bloop/data-source-common/build/classes” but there isn’t actually any such folder. So I’m abit confused what I’m missing here.

Thanks in advance guys!

I can see that the children projects are compiled correctly, but the middle projects do not have any Scala source files, so it's expected that the classpath for them is empty. common-model and person-model do have sources compiled. What would you expect to happen otherwise?

Hi turns out it's my lack of understanding of bloop. No issues with bloop, I realised it was due to a config I missed out regarding nested projects and detection of the project root directory when configuring nvim-metals plugin on neovim.
