The module I linked is built with the `module-tools` gradle plugin.

Progress on fixing this generator bug. See my today's comment on [inductiveautomation/ignition-module-tools/issues/49](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-module-tools/issues/49).

The `moduleDependencySpecs` resolve exception should be [fixed now in `0.4.0`](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/io-ia-sdk-modl-gradle-plugin-and-module-generator-releases/95376). I tested this locally after syncing up all the version references between the `generator` and `gradle-module-plugin` halves of the monorepo.
