org.openrewrite.gradle.RemoveDependency does not remove dependency in subproject

What version of OpenRewrite are you using?

I am using

• OpenRewrite BOM 2.6.4
• Gradle plugin 6.8.2

I've also tested with OpenRewrite 2.7.1 and Gradle plugin 6.8.4.

How are you running OpenRewrite?

I am running OpenRewrite using Gradle, as a multi-module project. The attached zip contains a simplified version of the project structure.

What is the smallest, simplest way to reproduce the problem?

The attached zip reproduces the issue - when using the org.openrewrite.gradle.RemoveDependency to remove a dependency, the specified dependency does not get removed.

What did you expect to see?

The subproject build.gradle should be updated, to remove the dependency

What did you see instead?

The subproject build.gradle does not get updated

Interestingly, if I add the dependency to the top-level build.gradle and run the recipe, both do get removed.

Gradle project with issue reproduced:
OpenRewriteIssueReproduced.zip

Start by reproducing the issue with the attached OpenRewriteIssueReproduced.zip and trace the org.openrewrite.gradle.RemoveDependency entry point for a multi-module Gradle project. Compare the root and subproject build.gradle files; done means the specified dependency is removed from the subproject build.gradle as well as the root file when applicable.
