merged dependency doesn't work for swcAir

I'm attempting to migrate an existing Ant build to Gradle, but I'm having difficulty when trying to use swcAir dependencies that I don't experience when using just swc dependencies.

Files involved:

$ find * -type f
build.gradle
proj1/src/main/actionscript/org/gradle/example/simple/HelloWorld1.as
proj2/src/main/actionscript/org/gradle/example/simple/HelloWorld2.as
settings.gradle

Settings file:

include 'proj1', 'proj2'

Build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories { mavenCentral() }
    dependencies { classpath group: 'org.gradlefx', name: 'gradlefx', version: '1.1' }
}
subprojects {
    apply plugin: 'gradlefx'
    flexHome = "$System.env.AIR_SDK_HOME"
    type = 'swc'
}
project(':proj2') {
    dependencies {
        merged project(':proj1')
    }
}

The example source code in question:

$ cat proj?/src/main/actionscript/org/gradle/example/simple/HelloWorld?.as
package org.gradle.example.simple
{
    public class HelloWorld1 {
        private var _foo : int = 1;
    }
}
package org.gradle.example.simple
{
    public class HelloWorld2 extends HelloWorld1 {
        private var _foo : int = 2;
    }
}

OK, let's compile:

$ gradle -i compile
...
Compiling with compc_cli
    -load-config+=/tmp/air_16_mac/frameworks/flex-config.xml
    -source-path+=/tmp/repro/proj2/src/main/actionscript
    -include-sources+=/tmp/repro/proj2/src/main/actionscript
    -library-path+=/tmp/repro/proj1/build/proj1.swc
    -output=/tmp/repro/proj2/build/proj2.swc
[compc-cli.jar] Loading configuration: /tmp/air_16_mac/frameworks/flex-config.xml
1916 bytes written to /tmp/repro/proj2/build/proj2.swc in 1.252 seconds
...

Ok, that worked as expected, as we can see by the resulting .swc files:

$ find * -type f -name *.swc
proj1/build/proj1.swc
proj2/build/proj2.swc

Let's clean, and modify the type from 'swc' to 'swcAir':

$ gradle -q clean
$ cat build.gradle | grep type
    type = 'swcAir'

Compiling with swcAir:

$ gradle -i compile
...
Compiling with compc_cli
    -load-config+=/tmp/air_16_mac/frameworks/air-config.xml
    -source-path+=/tmp/repro/proj2/src/main/actionscript
    -include-sources+=/tmp/repro/proj2/src/main/actionscript
    -output=/tmp/repro/proj2/build/proj2.swc
[ant:java] Java Result: 2
:proj2:compileFlex FAILED

      public class HelloWorld2 extends HelloWorld1 {
                                       ^
...

So it seems the dependency was not pulled in.

Any advice? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any suggestions!

   For the record, I can manually work around this by replacing the proj1 configuration with:
   

   project(':proj2') {
       additionalCompilerOptions = ['-library-path+=/tmp/repro/proj1/build/proj1.swc']
   }
   

   However, this feels like a hack.

   Looking at the code, it appears this problem manifests in LibraryOptionsInjector.groovy.

   The function addLibraries() expects files for its first argument, but addMergedLibraries() passes in project.configurations.merged.files, and for swcAir types, that translates to /path-to/proj1/build/proj1.swcAir, which doesn't make sense (it should just be /path-to/proj1/build/proj1.swc).

   So I believe the fix involves correcting how files are constructed for the project when the type is swcAir, or doing that mapping in LibraryOptionsInjector.groovy (but that doesn't seem like the right place though).

   I'll investigate the project.configuration.files side of things...
