Module directories are missing in the repo

[sahanHe]

Description:
Several modules listed in settings.gradle doesn't have base directories in the repository. This results in build errors when tried to compile with third party tools like sonarcloud giving errors like following
> The base directory of the module ':ballerina-config-schema-builder' does not exist: /home/runner/work/ballerina-lang/ballerina-lang/misc/ballerina-config-schema-builder

Issue can be solved by adding following lines to the workflow

- name: Create missing module folders
        run: |
          mkdir -p /home/runner/work/ballerina-lang/ballerina-lang/ballerina-formatter 
          mkdir -p /home/runner/work/ballerina-lang/ballerina-lang/ballerina
          mkdir -p /home/runner/work/ballerina-lang/ballerina-lang/ballerina-langlib
          mkdir -p /home/runner/work/ballerina-lang/ballerina-lang/compiler-plugins
          mkdir -p /home/runner/work/ballerina-lang/ballerina-lang/composer
          mkdir -p /home/runner/work/ballerina-lang/ballerina-lang/debug-adapter
          mkdir -p /home/runner/work/ballerina-lang/ballerina-lang/distribution/zip/nballerina-tools
          mkdir -p /home/runner/work/ballerina-lang/ballerina-lang/formatter 
          mkdir -p /home/runner/work/ballerina-lang/ballerina-lang/ls-extensions
          mkdir -p /home/runner/work/ballerina-lang/ballerina-lang/project-api-test-artifact
          mkdir -p /home/runner/work/ballerina-lang/ballerina-lang/language-server/modules/test-coverage
          mkdir -p /home/runner/work/ballerina-lang/ballerina-lang/misc/testerina/modules/report-tools
          mkdir -p /home/runner/work/ballerina-lang/ballerina-lang/misc/ballerina-config-schema-builder
          mkdir -p /home/runner/work/ballerina-lang/ballerina-lang/ballerina-stringutils

Steps to reproduce:

First fork the repo in to your own github organisation and register for sonarcloud. Then follow the CI/CD configuration tutorials mentioned in the sonarcloud for building with sonarqube. following line gives build error
run: ./gradlew build sonarqube --scan --no-daemon

Hi @keizer619, I believe #37087 should have closed this issue a while back. Could you double check and let me know if there is anything more to be done?

@sm1990 @gimantha Any update regarding this would be great, cheers.

I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner. In the above PR has manually created directories just to get things passed. This issue is to properly fix it from gradle project side and remove those manually creating directories in the workflow level

If you are willing to work you can continue

Hi @areebniyas are you working on this? If not we can open this for public

[areebniyas]

Hi @keizer619, a bit packed. Let's open it, meanwhile whenever I get the chance will have a look.

Hi @keizer619 I would like to take this issue. I already did part of it in #43668 via removing the not found modules from the settings.gradle
