[tapchicoma]

Gradle transformations or building project model

[Paul Woitaschek]

Is there any way to analyze what's happening there?

[tapchicoma]

what are the numbers in performance -> configuration tab?

https://github.com/gradle/gradle-profiler ? 🙂

Ah that's the non execution step in the chart?

[tapchicoma]

seems yes - "model configuration"

[Paul Woitaschek]

And if I was to publish my precompiled plugins I'd only cut it by the 9.8 secs?

[Paul Woitaschek]

Ah if all this just wouldn't happen single threaded 🙈

[Paul Woitaschek]

If I split my precomp plugin into multiple precomp plugins they'd still all run single threaded right?

[tapchicoma]

configuration phase right now is always single threaded. I suppose you want to improve CI time?

[Paul Woitaschek]

Also local speed

[Paul Woitaschek]

We have lots of code generating steps in the plugins and whenever we change anything there we have to rebuild the universe

[Paul Woitaschek]

And that stats above are from a maxed out macbook, with the other machines it's way worse

The configuration phase is single threaded but the included builds are not single threaded if they have the org.gradle.parallel=true flag.

[Paul Woitaschek]

Ah that's good insight. And is it possible to let a an included build depend on a regular module?

[Paul Woitaschek]

I want to come into a situation where a simple change in one of the code generating plugins doesn't cause a full recompilation of everything

[ursus]

Isnt script compilation & model building done only once anyways?

[no]

I'm not sure. What happens when you try it? I think they would be treated as two separate builds and be compiled twice.

[no]

Correct. Script compilation is done once for a given buildscript classpath and cached. Model building is done once per build.
