Executing vaadinRun on project subProjectX fails with Project ':subProjectX' not found in project ':subProjectX'.

[SpyrosKou]

I have a multi-project gradle project in Eclipse.

The project basic consists of a parent project 'ParentProject' and several sub projects.
The only project with subprojects is 'ParentProject', so no subproject has a subproject.
When executing the 'war' task 'subprojectX' is build OK and when deployed it runs OK.
However trying to run it with 'VaadinRun' fails throwing the following error :

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Project ':subProjectX' not found in project ':subProjectX'.
* Exception is:
org.gradle.execution.taskpath.ProjectFinderByTaskPath$ProjectLookupException: Project 'admin-ui' not found in project ':admin-ui'.

The build.gradle of subProjectX is the following:

plugins {
    id 'com.devsoap.plugin.vaadin' version '1.3.1' 
}

vaadin{
 	version vaadinVersion //8.5.1
 	push true
 	manageDependencies true 
  	manageRepositories true
 	logToConsole true
 }

dependencies {
//Some non war projects with library classes
    compile project(':subProjectLibrary1')
    compile project(':subProjectLibrary2')
    compile project(':subProjectLibrary3')
    compile project(':subProjectLibrary4')
}

I am using the following versions:

Gradle Distribution: Specific Gradle version 4.9
Gradle Version: 4.9
Java: jdk1.8.0_171
VaadinVersion: 8.5.1
JVM Arguments: None
Program Arguments: None
Build Scans Enabled: false
Offline Mode Enabled: false
Gradle Tasks: vaadinRun --stacktrace --scan

Is it possible that since war can run OK that this is somehow related with the plugin? Any advice would help. If more information are needed feel free to ask.
Another information that might help: 'subProjectX' is not mentioned in any build.gradle file.

[SpyrosKou]

A workaround for the gradle plugin beeing unable to run the war, was to use the vaadin gradle plugin to create the war and then the maven jetty plugin to run it.

The pom.xml and the gradle task definition are provided below.

Gradle Task

task runTestWar(dependsOn: war){
	description 'Run war in a Jetty Server. Will stop already running Jetty.'
	group 'build'
	doLast {
    	exec {
      		executable('cmd')
      		args('/c')
      		args(mavenCommand)
      		args('jetty:stop')
    		}
    	exec {
    		executable('cmd')
    		environment('MAVEN_OPTS',MAVEN_OPTS)
      		args('/c')
      		args(mavenCommand)
      		args('jetty:deploy-war')
    		}
  	}
}

I believe I have the same problem with the vaadinCompile and vaadinThemeCompile tasks.

If I try to run gradle vaadinThemeCompile or vaadinCompile I get:

Project 'XXX' not found in project ':modules:XXX'. (caused by org.gradle.execution.taskpath.ProjectFinderByTaskPath$ProjectLookupException`).

However, if I add those as a dependency for the jar task:

jar.dependsOn("vaadinThemeCompile")
jar.dependsOn("vaadinCompile")

I can do a gradle jar (inside my modules/XXX directory) without a problem.

If it helps to solve this issue, I can provide a link to the project having this problem for easy review.

I'm using Gradle 5.5.1 but went back several versions (down to 5.0), just in case, and the problem persists.
