Issue

When building a Client Extension of type jsImportMapsEntry, the build fails if the Client Extension depends on another Client Extension, because the build cannot resolve the dependency.

Environment

Liferay DXP Quarterly Release

Resolution

To resolve this issue, explicitly define the dependency in the build.gradle file of the dependent Client Extension. For example, if Client Extension A depends on Client Extension B, add the following line to the build.gradle file of Client Extension A:
```
packageRunBuild.dependsOn ':client-extensions:B:packageRunBuild'
```
Replace :client-extensions:B:packageRunBuild with the actual path to Client Extension B, for example :client-extensions:my-module:packageRunBuild.
