Gradle build configuration cache fails with AppD plugin

[Guilherme_Drehm]

Summary

Gradle build configuration cache cannot be enabled in the project because of AppDynamics plugin

Context

Gradle has a build configuration cache capability, which is still not enabled by default. Information can be found at https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/configuration_cache.html

The build configuration cache can improve build times drastically for large projects. 

However, it has some requirements for Gradle tasks for it to be able to be used (https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/configuration_cache.html#config_cache:requirements).

Current `debugAppDynamicsAddBuildInfo` AppDynamics Gradle task is not compatible with Gradle build configuration cache. This makes it not possible to enable it in any project using AppDynamics Gradle plugin.

How to replicate the issue

In the current project, run the following Gradle command:

./gradlew clean assembleDebug

Key details

- AppDynamics version in use: 23.7.1

- Key configuration to enable build configuration cache:

In `gradle.properties`:

org.gradle.configuration-cache=true

Error message

* What went wrong:

Configuration cache problems found in this build.




1 problem was found storing the configuration cache.

- Task `:app:debugAppDynamicsAddBuildInfo` of type `com.appdynamics.android.gradle.AddToClassesTask`: invocation of 'Task.project' at execution time is unsupported.

  See https://docs.gradle.org/8.4/userguide/configuration_cache.html#config_cache:requirements:use_project_during_execution

Hi @Guilherme.Drehmer,

Thanks for clarifying and also submitting a ticket. If you could report back what you hear from Support back on this thread would be amazing!

[iamryan]

Hello @Guilherme.Drehmer,

Thanks for sharing this. Are you intending to share this as a feature request? 

[Guilherme_Drehm]

Hi @Ryan.Paredez ,

Large projects like ours have long build times, and not being able to turn the Gradle build configuration cache for the entire project just because AppD plugin sounds like an issue to me, not a feature request. The Gradle build configuration cache might be disable by default now, but it will likely be turned on by default in near future, given the benefits it can provide.

I've raised a ticket for investigation.

Thanks,

Guil
