The use case, because I know someone is going to ask as if this is silly, is that the plugin does bytecode enhancement and I want to be able to perform that enhancement to some classes as part of my tests

You can't if it is part of the same build, it's a 🍳🐔 problem. Have a look a Gradle's composite builds, that's the proper way to have two builds share components without publishing.

shoooot. sorry, somehow got in the wrong channel you are right

No worries
