I am trying to use the release-opinion plugin along with the maven-publishing plugin in a multi-project gradle build. The problem is that gradle is complaining about the publishing extension already being evaluated.

If I use the release-base plugin, this error goes away.

I was able to reproduce the bug here test-project.zip

if you go into the test directory and run the command gw tasks --include-build ../test-plugin you will experience the issue

If I apply the maven-publish plugin directly above the publishing closure in each build.gradle, it works correctly. If I apply the maven-publish plugin in the TestPlugin for each project or at the top of the build.gradle files, I get the error
