    are java-generating annotation processors supported in new MPP for jvm targets? the processor is running as i see .java files generated, but they are not compiled (even with
    withJava()
    ). I see mention of Android support in the docs but nothing about jvm targets.

    I am making an annotation processor that generates Kotlin source files using Kotlin poet, however I am unsure how can I make incremental processing work properly. The problem is that outdated source files don't get deleted. How can I "mark" generated Kotlin source file as being outdated and that they need to be deleted? Example:
    @NbtSerializable
    class Foo // --> Generates source file named "FooUtil"
    Now I remove
    @NbtSerializable
    and need
    FooUtil
    to be deleted as well.

    looking at this issue with Android’s Room project (room asking for an output dir for schemas) - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/139438151. The crux of the issue there is that it puts an absolute path in apt options, which breaks remote cache. Doesn’t that mean that kapt’s
    "kapt.kotlin.generated"
    option is also not compatible with remote caching? It uses an absolute path as well

    Hey, I’m building a Gradle plugin that adds some dependencies based on an extension value but if the dependency is added in the
    afterEvaluate
    Kapt doesn’t run. Any idea? Here the example:
    class MyPlugin : Plugin<Project> {
    
        override fun apply(project: Project) {
            with(project) {
                val extension = extensions.create("projectConfiguration", MyExtension::class.java)
                
                // Adding the dependency in the apply works
                addDependency("kapt", "library-coordinate")
                
                // If the dependency is added in the afterEvaluate block kapt doesn't run.
                // :myproject:dependencies shows the dependency properly
                afterEvaluate {
                    if (extension.value) {
                        addDependency("kapt", "library-coordinate")
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    
        private fun Project.addDependency(configuration: String, dependency: String) {

    I have a multi module Android project. The :app: module is mixed Kotlin and Java. I have KAPT incremental enabled. When I add a new private function to a ViewModel class KAPT appears to process every source file in the :app: module despite being able to identify the changed file. Is this expected? Android Gradle Plugin: 3.5.3 Kotlin version: 1.3.61 Gradle version: 5.6 Some KAPT verbose output:
    [INFO] Kapt3 is enabled (stand-alone mode).
    Annotation processing mode: apt

    Detect annotation processors in compile classpath: false
    Incremental annotation processing (apt mode): true

    The memory usage of the kotlin compiler daemon for our project reached 10Gb threshold. If we set it lower kotlin daemon dies out with OOM.  It dies during the kapt processing. That’s why I’m trying to reach out to this channel. Wonder if anyone else experienced similar issues. The heap dump looks pretty similar to the one in this issue (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-32962). But there is no leak in our case. There is only one instance of IncrementalProcessingEnvironment. Also with 10gb heap limit the memory goes down to normal level after annotation processing finished. We had a suspicion that it had something to do with the generation of the @Metadata annotations on the stubs (A big chunk of heap is consumed by the flatbuffer strings). We did a quick hack to strip those annotations out of stubs generated by kapt but it doesn’t seem to be helping much. We have a BUCK build configured and it doesn’t have such problem (it doesn't use kotlin daemon though). Right now we have to hypothesizes: 1. There is something wrong with our gradle script or kotlin gradle plugin. It would be awesome if someone could give a pointer how to enable the logs of the kotlin daemon launched from the gradle plugin, ie how to tweak the verbosity level of the daemon and where to find logs on Mac/Linux. 2. It might be the case that kapt extension keeps more resources than it is needed for the processing. Currently the code for the resources release in kapt looks like this (https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/2552540f7165571dd2fdefdef4f09d858e4fa92a/plugins/kapt3/kapt3-compiler/src/org/jetbrains/kotlin/kapt3/Kapt3Extension.kt#L101-L104). We wonder if there is a way to say release some of the resources between different annotation processors runs?  Most of our codebase is Kotlin, so literally every file in the project has the Metadata annotations and corresponding overhead. Is there a way to ignore those data completely during the kapt processing? What would be consequences of doing it? Maybe there are some known kapt options that could potentially help mitigate the issue/reduce the memory footprint? Our gradle.properties for kapt now:
    # See: <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/oauth?state=%2Fissue%2FKT-17621>
    kotlin.incremental.usePreciseJavaTracking=true
    # Configure the Kotlin Gradle plugin to run tasks in parallel within a project.
    # <https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2019/01/kotlin-1-3-20-released/>
    kotlin.parallel.tasks.in.project=true
    # There is a cache key inconsistency when enabling this
    # Disable incremental kapt locally to avoid this
    # <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-31840>
    kapt.incremental.apt=false
    # Skips annotation processing completely when there are no changes in kapt stubs and only method
    # bodies are changed in dependencies. See <https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2019/01/kotlin-1-3-20-released/>

    hello all, I’ve got a ( minor issue here) but I wanted to understand what I might be doing wrong. I’ve created a module which generates a couple of classes on compile time; but when I want to print any messages they are all printed on the same line - I’ve already tried out a couple of variations with \n. I’m using:
    _messager_.printMessage(Diagnostic.Kind.NOTE, "test 1\n")
    _messager_.printMessage(Diagnostic.Kind.NOTE, "test 2")

    I've noticed following message in build scan logs (Kotlin 1.3.71):
    Overlapping outputs: Gradle does not know how file 'build/generated/source/kaptKotlin/debug' was created (output property 'kotlinSourcesDestinationDir'). Task output caching requires exclusive access to output paths to guarantee correctness.
    This is happens after full project clean and I could not figure out some pattern here. Do anyone else see the same?
