Aret there any recommendations on CI caching of the new .kotlin directory?

[Rick Clephas]

Yeah just wondering if/how we are supposed to cache this directory as it's no longer cached by any Gradle caching. Didn't find any info about that in the docs or YouTrack issues.

[altavir]

It says that it should be ignored.

[Rick Clephas]

It specifically mentions adding it to the gitignore. I am wondering about how the data in that directory relates to other Gradle data that is being cached by Gradle. More specifically if caching Gradle data but not caching this directory could result in issues or prevent the use of said Gradle cache.

[altavir]

In my case it contains error logs and something called kotlinTransformedMetadataLibraries. I am not sure what it does, but I don't think it interferes with gradle in any way.

you could cache it separately, but not caching should be also ok
