ℹ️ Unfortunately Kotlin Gradle plugin 1.5.0 has a memory leak that was noticed too late (should be fixed in 1.5.10), but temporary workaround is available: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-46368#focus=Comments-27-4868598.0-0

[dave08]

Is this only an issue in specific cases, or should the fix be applied to all projects using 1.5.0?

[tapchicoma]

to all projects, but mostly it is noticeable in multimodule projects

[dave08]

Any ETA for 1.5.10?

[tapchicoma]

around end of May

[dave08]

Thanks! I guess we'll have to go for the workaround in the meantime...

Workaround seems to add build listener which makes it incompatible with configuration cache?
https://docs.gradle.org/7.0/userguide/configuration_cache.html#config_cache:requirements:build_listeners

[tapchicoma]

yes, you are right. Initial changes that introduced this leak were addressing configuration cache compatibility

[napperley]

Is multi module referring to Gradle modules, or Kotlin modules?

[Zac Sweers]

Published a simple Gradle plugin that auto-patches this leak with the workaround impl until it's fixed in Kotlin 1.5.10.

Maybe this should be in #feed? Thanks alot! I didn't like adding buildSrc to all our projects just for this temporary patch...
