Description
I've been using this plugin successfully before, but now I cannot get it to work on a new project.
In this project I am building an Android library that should use dotenv for configuration (in the subfolder library) , as well as a demo application that uses the library (app).
In my library/build.gradle I have:
plugins {
id 'com.android.library'
id 'maven-publish'
id "earth.levi.dotenv-android" version "1.3.0"
}
dotenv {
packageName = "com.example.library"
sourcePath = "src/main/java/"
}
With my main code at ./library/src/main/java/com/example/library/Foo.java, which contains a reference to Env.foo.
In .env, I have:
FOO=bar
In my ./settings.gradle, I have:
// ...
rootProject.name = "library"
include ':app'
include ':library'
Now when I run:
./gradlew build
I get:
> Task :library:compileDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED
/testproject/library/src/main/java/com/example/library/Foo.java:711: error: cannot find symbol
mFoo = Env.foo;
^
symbol: variable Env
location: class Builder
...
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
I also do not see any tasks related to dotenv when I run ./gradlew tasks.
Any idea why this would not work?

Research direction
Start with library/build.gradle and the dotenv plugin configuration, then run ./gradlew tasks and ./gradlew build to compare the library module's tasks and compilation output. Check whether Env is generated under library/src/main/java/com/example/library and whether the library compile task sees it; done means the library builds with Foo.java resolving Env and the expected dotenv task is present.
