It sounds like a feature request to Gradle :)

We wrote 2 scripts that are in our repo that you might find helpful:
github.com/androidx/and...

You can find it under performance/build Configuration. Take that time and divide it by number of projects under projects tap

Do you use org.gradle.configuration-cache.parallel=true ?

yup it's fully KMP/jpcompose and works great on Android and iOS!! But we're always interested in connecting with more KMP people to get help and tips.

I still think it is valuable to split pre-execution vs execution times. If you really want to avoid measuring CC cost you can disable configuration cache and run with --dry-run

You definitely want to pick a task that represents the workflow you want to optimize. If you never run licensee, skip it from your benchmarking.

I think the correct term is "configuration cache serialization/store time" which happens after actual configuration is complete.

It is definitely a balance. Picking the right task to benchmark is important. If you only ever run `assembleDebug` then that's what you want to benchmark. I just picked `build` since most folks are familiar with it and it gives a good starting point.

Configuration time is technically not the correct term. It would be pre task execution time, but generally configuration time takes the bulk of that time because initialization is super fast and configuration serialization and deserialization can be thought as part of configuration time.

I would love for you to write up your journey here into a blog post!

See docs.gradle.org/current/user...

Gradle does 0 caching for anything that has SNAPSHOT in the name. It will redownload with every invocation of Gradle. Highly recommend you move away from those versions.

By the way, this is a second run after deleting CC entries or a clean build?

Build scans generally happen on a background thread, so you need to see which parts run on the main Gradle daemon thread.

Why are your transforms running all the time? Are you by any chance using -SNAPSHOT versions somewhere in your build classpath?

This looks suspect.

😭

I'll also happily accept a coffee from you if I ever meet you in person! :)

I am very happy to hear these posts are valuable/

I want you to keep asking questions! Even better if you write a post answering someone else's questions. Sharing knowledge is the best way to improve our ecosystem!
