Gradle cannot find project (project with path $ cannot be found) - gradle

Question

This project (example) depends on a project defined in the parent directory. It is not part of the parent directory project's build at all. However, Gradle never finds a project in any of my folders with projects in them. The parent directory contains a multiplatform multiproject library project for libGDX. I cannot call project() and find one in ANY directory so far...
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* Where:
Settings file '/home/athenacadence/git/gdx-complextext/example/settings.gradle' line: 2

> Project with path '/../html' could not be found.

EDIT
Upon trying just includeBuild, I get this:
includeBuild("${rootProject.projectDir}/../html")

Answer 1

Please try to use another way to obtain a project location using rootProject.projectDir then add ../html, also according to documentation there's no need to wrap into project e.g. use only includeBuild like below:
includeBuild("${rootProject.projectDir}/../html")
