Can't set artifact name

[bpappin]

the documentation says to use rootProject.name = 'artifact' to set the artifact name, but it's not working properly. It seems to be ignored by the plugin.

FYI its using the project name instead.

This needs to be set in settings.gradle and not in build.gradle.
Are you doing that?

I have an integration test that does that and it is working.

The settings.gradle applies to the entire project, so if I have multiple libraries, they will all have the same artifact name.

Should I put in a new bug for that problem?

Yes settings.gradle applies to the whole project, but you need to set the name of each project individually int it.

include 'app'
include 'library'
include 'baseLibrary'
include 'util'

rootProject.name = 'newName'
project(':library').name = 'newLibName'

But then you need to use the new name in build.gradle.
e.g.: app will link to compile project(':newLibName')

another option to simply generate a different artifact name but not change the gradle project name is to set the property project.archivesBaseName = 'newLibName' in build.gradle.
