Hey, @mbonnin! I was looking into the above issue, more specifically why is the lint task taking significantly longer with data builders enabled. And after realising that I can actually debug the task in Android Studio, I found out that the directory with the generated Apollo source is included both in the generated sourcesets and the java sourcesets (see screenshot in 🧵). I am not 100% sure, but I assume this is the cause. Anyway, is this intentional? Shouldn't this directory be only in the generated sourceset?

Anyway, is this intentional?

I'm not sure. Maybe this can be useful? (even if it surely doesn't look useful in your case)

Shouldn't this directory be only in the generated sourceset?

Maybe? We're using `srcDir()` on the kotlin sourceSet. I was not aware of an API to tell AGP that a specific directory is generated. I'll ask around

[mbonnin]

In theory, I believe lint should process generated files. Because generated files can be anything, they can for an example reference some resources. Having lint ignore those would create a lot of false positive for "find unused resources" for an example

[mbonnin]

But I'm not too versed in the lint world

[mbonnin]

Could it be this bug? https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/252821904

I was not aware of an API to tell AGP that a specific directory is generated

What would be the goal? I see other folders in build/generated/source that are not marked as source, including where BuildConfig.java lives, but they are still picked up in the build.

There is a specific lint option to enable this, so I don't think that a library should overrule this, knowingly or not 😛

Does that mean build/generated/source is automatically picked up by the compileKotlin task?

[Eduard Boloș]

Not an expert, but empirically, it seems so.

[mbonnin]

If that's the case then it means we have a serious problem with variants

[Eduard Boloș]

ah, or maybe not then? xD

[mbonnin]

We always generate sources in the same folder and add it to variant source sets

[mbonnin]

The default being main . But I think we have tests that generate source in build/generated/source/com/example and add it to the debug variant

[Eduard Boloș]

now I am noticing, build/generated/source/kapt has subfolders with the variants names which are marked as "generated sources root" too

[Eduard Boloș]

but those don't appear in the lint config's javaSourceFolders 😕

[mbonnin]

In all cases:

There is a specific lint option to enable this

Right 👍 , means we need to tell AGP that we are a generated dir, I'll dig ⛏️

[mbonnin]

Double checking: you're not on AGP 8.something, right?

[Eduard Boloș]

nope, 7.2.1

[Eduard Boloș]

I can update to 7.3.1, if it helps

[mbonnin]

I was asking because of https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/252821904

[mbonnin]

But upgrading is always good 🙂

[mbonnin]

even if I don't expect magic to happen here

[mbonnin]

What method did you put your breakpoint in?

[Eduard Boloș]

Sorry, many meetings today 😅
com.android.tools.lint.detector.api.LintModelModuleProject#getJavaSourceFolders is the method that returns that list.
A breakpoint where I could see that was in com.android.tools.lint.LintCliClient#run(com.android.tools.lint.client.api.IssueRegistry, com.android.tools.lint.client.api.LintRequest, kotlin.jvm.functions.Function0<kotlin.Unit>, kotlin.jvm.functions.Function0<java.lang.Integer>), in lintRequest argument, projects[0] field.

Thanks!!
