Is there any way to tell kapt Compiler to compile with specific compiler args?

in the old kapt (kapt1) you can do this, I'm not sure about the new one (kapt3):
```
kapt {
    arguments {
        arg('key', 'value')
    }
}
```

Yeap, that’s what I have tried, but not working

Kapt3 seems to have something called options

Although Gradle cannot find kapt3 {} which doesnt allow me to even try that “options"

so should I try with options keyword then?

But i am not sure if it is compiler options

ah wait a second, what I was telling you before was annotation processing options

for compiler options, I think kapt3 mirrors the ones from the main compilation task

not sure if you can specify different ones

We used to have a closure that would increase the Xmaxerrs to 5000

in order to be able to read when Dagger was failing and as a result Databinding was failing as well

and so if we get a failure on kaptVariantNameKotlin for the :app module

That’s why i am thinking it has to do with the compiler being used by Kapt

kapt3 also should work with arguments: <https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/libraries/tools/kotlin-gradle-plugin-integration-tests/src/test/resources/testProject/kapt2/arguments/build.gradle>

If it doesn’t then it’s a bug.

and it is fixed on this one <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-15994#tab=Changes>

<@U0B99LPPW> Is there a way to build and test it?

also <@U0B99LPPW> what <@U0MCQ3MBJ> meant are not annotation processing arguments, but compiler arguments for kapt3

<@U0B85AN68> I suppose that he understood, because he is the one who originally reported the issue I sent above :stuck_out_tongue:

But this is just a guess, so thanks for mentioning it explicitly!

but the example he linked is about the annotation processing arguments

that's why I specified it, I was also confused at the beginning
