why are you unable to change the project name?

this is something that should wire up via whatever is used in `maven-publish`'s `publishing` block -- but there is no immediate reason I see that you could not try changing the project name if that way isn't working

This flag might be on or off, in fact I could change the name in settings but then I also have to conditionally change the dependency, sometimes project(“:B”) and sometimes project(“:B-suffix”) depending on the flag. Maybe it’s possible but it doesn’t feel right to me, I’m not sure.

Now B’s artifact is changed in maven-publish configuration as you said, but it’s not automatically picked up by A. Should it be? Or how do I? Thanks!

can you share `B`'s `build.gradle`(`.kts`)?

or rather, the place where you are configuring the artifact ID

It’s a bit complex :sweat_smile: I use <https://github.com/deepmedia/MavenDeployer|this plugin>, applied by some other plugin... it exposes an `artifactId` property which gets later passed to the maven publication. Does A’s `maven-publish` look into B’s maven publications for this wiring? And how does it match the right publication? I probably have more than one

The exact logic is in <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/401c31af0193c7deaf5e6e5853d2a20ac632df5e/subprojects/dependency-management/src/main/java/org/gradle/api/internal/artifacts/ivyservice/projectmodule/DefaultProjectDependencyPublicationResolver.java#L59|https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/401c31af0193c7deaf5e6e5853d2a20ac632df5e/sub[…]/projectmodule/DefaultProjectDependencyPublicationResolver.java> ; looking at the plugin it seems like it should get set in time to wire up here without issues, but it's too complex for me to be sure. I would debug the configuration via <https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/troubleshooting.html#sec:troubleshooting_build_logic> , add a breakpoint in this method (for when `project.getName().equals("B")`), and see what it thinks the artifact id is and how it got there.

That's very helpful, thank you! I will investigate deeper and see what's happening.
