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

Eugenio · Answer

in the old kapt kapt1 you can do this I m not sure about the new one kapt3 ``` kapt arguments arg key value ```

Eugenio · Answer

ping < pavlospt> ^

pavlospt · Answer

Yeap that s what I have tried but not working

pavlospt · Answer

Kapt3 seems to have something called options

pavlospt · Answer

Although Gradle cannot find kapt3 which doesnt allow me to even try that options

Eugenio · Answer

no no it would always be `kapt`

pavlospt · Answer

so should I try with options keyword then

Eugenio · Answer

try

pavlospt · Answer

seems that it is apoptions for kapt3

pavlospt · Answer

But i am not sure if it is compiler options

pavlospt · Answer

or just annotation processing options

Eugenio · Answer

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

Eugenio · Answer

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

Eugenio · Answer

not sure if you can specify different ones

pavlospt · Answer

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

pavlospt · Answer

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

pavlospt · Answer

seems that after upgrading to 1 1

pavlospt · Answer

this one stopped working

pavlospt · Answer

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

pavlospt · Answer

it only prints 99 errors

pavlospt · Answer

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

Eugenio · Answer

ah I see

yan · Answer

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

pavlospt · Answer

pavlospt · Answer

and it is fixed on this one <https youtrack jetbrains com issue KT 15994 tab=Changes>

pavlospt · Answer

But there is no ETA available

pavlospt · Answer

< yan> Is there a way to build and test it

Eugenio · Answer

also < yan> what < pavlospt> meant are not annotation processing arguments but compiler arguments for kapt3

pavlospt · Answer

< Eugenio> I suppose that he understood because he is the one who originally reported the issue I sent above stuck out tongue

pavlospt · Answer

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

Eugenio · Answer

but the example he linked is about the annotation processing arguments

Eugenio · Answer

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

pavlospt · Answer

Yeap that was weird stuck out tongue
