Greetings, I have a ResourceConfigurationsPlugin for adding new resources artifact variants to projects. It’s an enhancement of the plugin that originally came out of the discussions in this thread: How to properly append to the JavaExec and Test task classpaths? - #20 by ianbrandt . The plugin now…

As an aside, in case they’re of any interest, I filed a few issues that came up during this effort: GitHub · Where software is built Please support parameter and service injection for attribute compatibility and disambiguation rules · Issue #32979 · gradle/gradle · GitHub Please supply a non-inter…

An update: Based on feedback from Please supply a non-internal AttributeContainer implementation · Issue #32983 · gradle/gradle · GitHub , I’ve switched from using a custom MapBackedAttributeContainer to AttributeContainer.() -> Unit configure actions instead: Comparing d022a4885a3f32f3a1b2670878fc95…

I tried making my dependency helper lazy, but it still gets executed with gradlew help. I’m not sure whether that’s fallout of eagerness elsewhere, or it’s just an unavoidable part of Gradle working out the project dependencies. Made `DependencyCreationExtension` …

or it’s just an unavoidable part of Gradle working out the project dependencies. When executing help? That sounds quite unlikely. But hard to say from abroad without hands-on.

Probably time to upgrade the debugging from System.out to breakpoint :slight_smile:

Ah, here’s what I get with: RuntimeException("Creating $notation...").printStackTrace() Maybe Kotlin Gradle Plugin eagerness? > Configure project :subprojects:custom-resources-intermediary java.lang.RuntimeException: Creating project ':subprojects:custom-resources'... at org.sdkotlin.buildlogic.…

Did you look at the stacktrace? :slight_smile: It’s quite obvious what causes this.

Ah, I overlooked that you already wrote “Maybe Kotlin Gradle Plugin eagerness?” :smiley: Yeah, seems so. It collects some statistics which causes your code to be executed it seems. Whether this is a good idea and whether it can be disabled I have no idea.

If I switch from KGP to just the Java Library Plugin for the subprojects where I use the dependency helper, I no longer get the eager invocation of it. Of course then they also can’t have any Kotlin code in them. I’ll look into filing a KGP issue for it.
