The gradle plugin is freezing app:compileDebugKotlin for me now, is that a known issue or what is going on?

[gildor]

Have you tried to kill Kotlin and gradle daemons and try again?

[jaqxues]

of course

[jaqxues]

It stops working once i apply the plugin and delete the build folders (If i dont delete those, the Serializers just wont be generated, so somehow the plugin isnt applied)

to make it work: delete the build folder, undo apply plugin

[jaqxues]

Is there anything I can debug?

[gildor]

Probably only by profiling build, to try understand what is going on when build is hanging

[jaqxues]

well you see the debug output, sth about locks. I do not have an extensive knowledge about gradle

[jaqxues]

Well hoping for someone to help me out

[gildor]

I mean using jvm profiler

[gildor]

What is your issue with serialization? Is it happening only whwh serializer plugin is applied?

[jaqxues]

yes

[gildor]

1.0.0? Looks like issue is there, but I didn't get case with build dir

[jaqxues]

yes

[jaqxues]

Oh, its useIR

[jaqxues]

Well, I'm using Compose too, so I do need that.... So currently these 2 libraries are not compatible ig

[jaqxues]

nvm, not that.... just the build directory wasnt deleted entirely

[jaqxues]

but it does only happen when i use @Serializable

[gildor]

Yep, compose and sterilization do not work together, though, you can use them in different modules

[gildor]

I'm still don't understand why you delete build dir, just a way to reproduce it?

[jaqxues]

It seems like the plugin does not apply without deleting that build dir. It just works normally, without doing anything. As soon as i delete it, the plugin applies and it fails

[gildor]

I think it’s just some issue with kotlinx.serialization plugin, it doesn’t work properly with incremental compilation and doesn’t detect that existing incremental data is invalid and should be regenerated

I'm so glad to find this post. Been going 🤯
