Hello I m trying to disable firebase performance monitoring

Question

Hello I m trying to disable firebase performance monitoring instrumentation for debug builds of an Android application Sadly the examples are only in Groovy and I m having issues understanding how should I get access to the `FirebasePerformance` object in order to configure it Documentation <https firebase google com docs perf mon disable sdk platform=android> Groovy example from the documentation ```groovy android buildTypes debug FirebasePerformance Set this flag to false to disable AddTrace annotation processing and automatic HTTP S network request monitoring for a specific build variant at compile time instrumentationEnabled false ``` My `build gradle kts` has something like ```kotlin buildTypes getByName debug should disable it here but don t know how to get the reference ``` Any idea how can I get access to the `FirebasePerformance` object from inside `getByName debug `

FirebasePerformance is an extension on the project you should be able to get it with something like `configure lt FirebasePerfExtension gt `

mbonnin · Answer

I don t think it needs to be in the android closure

mbonnin · Answer

Or something like ```extensions getByName FirebasePerformance this as FirebasePerfExtension ```

Hi Martin I tried ``` val firebase = extensions getByName FirebasePerformance as FirebasePerfExtension firebase setInstrumentationEnabled true ``` But is doesn t exist inside `android ` or outside ``` Extension with name FirebasePerformance does not exist ```

mbonnin · Answer

damn right it s not applied on the project

mbonnin · Answer

``` private static void registerExtension AppExtension androidExt androidExt getBuildTypes all buildType gt ExtensionAware buildType getExtensions add FirebasePerformance FirebasePerfExtension class androidExt getProductFlavors all productFlavor gt ExtensionAware productFlavor getExtensions add FirebasePerformance FirebasePerfExtension class ```

mbonnin · Answer

so something like ` buildType as ExtensionAware extensions getByName FirebasePerformance `

mbonnin · Answer

I just edited to add `extensions` I think you ll need that

mbonnin · Answer

That should also work on a `productFlavor` not only `buildType`

robertoestivill · Answer

``` buildTypes getByName debug val firebasePerf = this as ExtensionAware extensions getByName FirebasePerformance firebasePerf as FirebasePerfExtension setInstrumentationEnabled true ``` Nope Still not found I was walking this way this morning but could nailed the details

robertoestivill · Answer

``` Extension with name FirebasePerformance does not exist Currently registered extension names ext ```

robertoestivill · Answer

Where would you call that function that you sent me `registerExtension` maybe that s what s missing thinking face

mbonnin · Answer

I got it from the plugin jar it s the code that registers the extension

mbonnin · Answer

If you search `FirebasePerfPlugin` in IntelliJ you should have it

mbonnin · Answer

Or maybe the extensions are not registered yet

mbonnin · Answer

You can also try to hook a debugger with ` Dorg gradle debug=true` from the command line and a remote config in idea to see what s going on

robertoestivill · Answer

Ahhh you pointed me to the right place The plugin was applied in the parent build file but not in the android app module I added it and the following worked as we expected ``` buildTypes getByName debug val firebasePerf = this as ExtensionAware extensions getByName FirebasePerformance firebasePerf as FirebasePerfExtension setInstrumentationEnabled true ```

Thanks for the help man

mbonnin · Answer

No pb I hope plugins will do less of this extension magic now that kotlin dsl is a thing That ll make them more discoverable

robertoestivill · Answer

I would love to see that too

We just avoid application of plugin Apply when special Gradle property is passed
