    Description

      For instance, consider this simple case with two modules:

      Module "lowerlevel":

      Module {
          property string prop: "value in lowerlevel module"
      }
      

      Module "higherlevel":

      Module {
          Depends { name: "lowerlevel" }
          lowerlevel.prop: "value in higherlevel"
      }
      

      Product using these modules:

      Product {
          type: "mytype"
          Depends { name: "higherlevel" }
          Group {
              files: ["dummy.txt"]
              fileTags: ["dummy-input"]
          }
          Rule {
              inputs: ["dummy-input"]
              Artifact {
                  filePath: "dummy.out"
                  fileTags: product.type
              }
              prepare: {
                  var cmd = new JavaScriptCommand();
                  cmd.sourceCode = function() { };
                  var prop = product.moduleProperty("lowerlevel", "prop");
                  cmd.description = "lowerlevel.prop is '" + prop + "'.";
                  return [cmd];
              }
          }
      }
      

      The value printed is the one from the lower-level module, when one would except it to get overridden by the higher-level module. Note that it does not make any difference where the rule is located; it could also be in either of the modules, with the same result.
