05/27/2020, 3:26 AMCan anyone vouch for speeding up dagger via this snippet in gradle?
The snippet seems to:
Enable fastInit
Disable formatGeneratedSource
Enable incremental compilation (I'm using dagger 2.21 so incap isn't enabled automatically)

05/27/2020, 3:31 AMformatGeneratedSource and incremental compilation are (disabled/enabled) by default in recent Dagger versions.
AFAIK fastInit mode only affects runtime performance and not build performance. It can be used to speed up app start up time on large projects.

05/27/2020, 3:39 AMformatGeneratedSource is disabled by default now, so it’s not required

05/27/2020, 4:00 AMThanks @Arun and @gildor
Just so that I have this right:
1. fastInit Not needed as it's used to speed up app start time, not build perf. If so, I will leave this off (I'll leave it to whatever the default is)
2. formatGeneratedSource Now disabled by default (this is good, as it should result in faster build time) but I need to investigate how to figure out if this is enabled/disabled on my build/version of dagger
3. incremental compilation I'm using dagger 2.21 (can't upgrade at the moment) and so incremental is disabled by default) need to figure out how to enable, I'm curious about using the snippet in the link. Would that work, or does anyone know how to enable/disable? Can't seem to find in the docs.

05/27/2020, 4:09 AMOh yeah? I guess I'll have to look.
Maybe I won't focus on enabling incremental kapt on 2.21, but instead focus on upgrading to 2.28

05/27/2020, 4:13 AMYeah, I think it’s a better idea

05/27/2020, 4:14 AMformatGeneratedSource is false by default starting from 2.23 - https://github.com/google/dagger/releases/tag/dagger-2.23
gildor
05/27/2020, 4:15 AMAnd this option available starting from 2.18 (formatting enabled by default)
https://github.com/google/dagger/releases/tag/dagger-2.18
