vscode scala metals don't see projects that are created as sub-module

Question

I have a project that uses git-submodules. The submodule is a scala project by itself. Here's my project structure:

-- build.sbt -- module/build.sbt

The module is a git-submodule. Now I try to import the root project in which the module is imported to the root project like this:

lazy val myModule = ProjectRef(file("module"), "module")

lazy val root = project.in(file(".")).dependsOn(myModule)

Now the problem is that in VsCode the metals seem to not create the configuration file (.bloop/myModule.json) and it doesn't compile myModule in the root project in which the code depends on classes from myModule. Is there a way to configure it?

versions: vscode-1.90.1 metals-v1.35.0
