[BUG] RootProject references do not work

[mwisnicki]

If I reference RootProject external subprojects like so:

// build.sbt
lazy val root = (project in file("."))
  .settings(organization := "com.example")
  .aggregate(
    RootProject(file("project1")),
  )

// project1/build.sbt
lazy val project1Root = (project in file("."))
  .settings(
    organization := "com.example",
    libraryDependencies := Seq(
      "ch.qos.logback" % "logback-classic" % "1.5.8" % Runtime,
    )
  )

Clicking on the root in sbt panel then Analyze sbt dependencies... fails at:

[IJ]project1Root / Compile / dependencyDot
[error] Expected ID character
[error] Not a valid command: project1Root
[error] Expected project ID
[error] Expected configuration
[error] Expected ':'
[error] Expected key
[error] Not a valid key: project1Root
[error] project1Root / Compile / dependencyDot

AFAIK it's not possible to invoke tasks of external projects so the only way might be to invoke separate sbt for each RootProject.

Running root / Compile / dependencyDot seems to descend into external subprojects but does not work correctly. Dotfiles are missing in external projects without modules or contain only dependsOn entries with no libraryDependencies.

Preparation action completed

• I have added addDependencyTreePlugin into plugins.sbt (sbt.1.4+) or the file sdap.sbt exists and contains addDependencyTreePlugin
  • also to subprojects
• I have set organization := for root project and cross-platform

It's big and proprietary. I'll try to repro on simple project if needed.

@mwisnicki Thank you for your feedback. Can you provide a minimum example? If different shells are needed, I need to research it.
