Html: Modules with same short name but different path (full name) override each other

[hfhbd]

Describe the bug
I have a project with nested modules. The module names are the same, but they are always in different sub modules.

| - a
| - - foo
| - b
|- - foo

Expected behaviour
two different modules, a.foo and b.foo

Screenshots

To Reproduce
untitled3.zip

./gradlew dokkaHtmlMultiModule

Workaround

// root build.gradle.kts
subprojects {
    tasks.getByName<DokkaTaskPartial>("dokkaHtmlPartial") {
        moduleName.set(project.path.drop(1).replace(":", " "))
    }
}

Dokka configuration
Nothing special:

// root build.gradle.kts
plugins {
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.6.20" apply false
    id("org.jetbrains.dokka") version "1.6.10"
}

// settings.gradle.kts
include(":a:foo")
include(":b:foo")

// a.foo/b.foo build.gradle.kts
plugins {
    kotlin("jvm")
    id("org.jetbrains.dokka")
}

Installation

• Operating system: macOS
• Build tool: Gradle v7.4.2
• Dokka version: 1.6.10

Thanks for the report!

Unfortunately, this is a known issue, duplicates are #2037, #2272, #2413

Hopefully, it'll be addressed soon

Oh, I used the wrong search terms.
With multi modules a tree based navigation sidebar would be helpful too.

Well, the problem is deeper than we think. The Gradle itself has the same issue - gradle/gradle#847. Had it for years now. So, basically, it prevents anybody from naming their subprojects in a way so they share a short name.

Closing this as duplicate of #2272 to reduce spreading information in different issues
