Can 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) https://github.com/google/dagger/issues/1120#issuecomment-493512366

formatGeneratedSource 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.

formatGeneratedSource is disabled by default now, so it’s not required

Thanks @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.

but I need to investigate how to figure out if this is enabled/disabled on my build/version of dagger

I think only by debuggin dagger AP code

Oh 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

Yeah, I think it’s a better idea

Thank you very much @gildor Appreciate you taking your time to help!
