I've created my own compiler plugin, but now I would like to try the 'modern' normalized cache library and its cache plugin. The docs say to wrap the plugin and call them from a main plugin. Thats fine, I am happy to do that from my own compiler plugin and delegate some to the cache plugin. However, just the act of loading the dependency

api(libs.apollo.cache.plugin)

Results in the error: "Apollo: only a single compiler plugin provider is allowed"

How am I supposed to wrap the plugin?

[John Marshall]

I guess I can do something like:

tasks.withType<Jar>().configureEach {
    exclude("META-INF/services/com.apollographql.apollo.compiler.ApolloCompilerPluginProvider")
}

Apologies, that's indeed a blind spot.

[mbonnin]

Excluding the resource is the way to go

[mbonnin]

v5 has a way to use multiple plugins but it's not available in v4. We should probably backport it

[John Marshall]

I’d really appreciate backporting it

[mbonnin]

Yup, that's fair. Making this backward compatible will require a bit of care though. Will dive into this next week. You can follow https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-kotlin/issues/6534 for updates

This is now possible in 4.3.0. A new release of the cache is also in the pipe

The new cache 1.0.0-alpha.3 is available.
