first, main sources of

web

are built, as they have no dependencies then, main source of

test

are built, because

:web

dependency can be already satsified then, `web`’s test sources are built, because

:test

is now built too

Even though it is one project, you can have multiple sourcesets (

main

and

test

) which each have their separate classpaths: web.main: web.main test.main: test.main + web.main web.test: web.test + test.main + web.main Thus technically you have no circular dependency, although I personally have a check to prevent these kind of dependencies.

Thank you for your explanations!
