why would my vendor module's Android.bp be skipped after conversion from Android.mk ?

I am working on converting an Android.mk into an Android.bp for a vendor module that we are porting to 8.1
We had this working on 7.0 and 8.0 but ran into problems when trying to update to 8.1
The only reason I am doing this conversion is because some other system module switched from Android.mk to Android.bp and now it cannot find my vendor module when I build.
When I build it appears that for some reason my Android.bp file is not being processed at all.
If I put garbage in my Android.bp file no errors are generated when I try "make modules".If I look in out/soong/.bootstrap/build.ninja.d I don't see my Android.bp being processed but I see other vendor/qcom/ modules being processed.
The only reason I am doing this conversion is because some other system module switched from Android.mk to Android.bp and now it cannot find my vendor module when I build.
From what I can tell it appears my vendor module needs to now use Android.bp in order for the other system module to correctly resolve the dependency for my module.
Someone please correct me if that is not true.

If I try to build from my vendor module directory I get the error "ninja: error: unknown target 'MODULES-IN-vendor-..... "
The only way I can seem to get this working is to switch the system module back to using Android.mk but then there are things in Android.bp (vendor_available, vndk, etc.) that I don't know how to replicate with Android.mk
I am confused as to why my Android.bp is not being used.

Android.bp uses glob patterns instead of recursive search as Android.mk.
So go to top level Android.bp and start digging into subdirs - you will find where the inclusion chain breaks.

Yeah, subdirs is likely the issue here. In master, we do a full search of all Android.bp files (ignoring subdirs), which would avoid this problem.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I had the same issue today, and the reason for the failure was that I had replaced one of my repos by a symlink, and Soong ignores symlinks when searching for Android.bp files.
