Anvil now experimentally supports incremental compilation and Gradle's build caching, as of v2.5.0.
This feature is disabled by default. It can be enabled via a Gradle property or the Gradle DSL:
Gradle Properties
# gradle.properties
com.squareup.anvil.trackSourceFiles=true # default is false
Gradle DSL
// build.gradle
anvil {
trackSourceFiles = true // default is false
}
Removed
- The experimental KSP support from the
2.5.0-betaXX
releases has been removed. For KSP support, use Zac Sweers' fork: https://github.com/ZacSweers/anvil. - Drop Kotlin 1.8 support (#841)
Added
- Incremental compilation and build caching fixes (#836)
- Configuration options can now be set via Gradle properties (#851)
Changed
- Anvil's generated hints are now all generated to the same
anvil.hint
package, which simplifies hint lookups and better future-proofs future KSP work. Note that this is a user-invisible change, but it will require a one-time recompilation of any Anvil-generated hints. (#975) - Interface merging is now done in the IR backend, improving performance and future compatibility with K2.
@ContributesBinding
and@ContributesMultibinding
have been completely reworked to a new implementation that generates one binding dagger module for each contributed binding. While not an ABI-breaking change, this does change the generated code and requires users to re-run Anvil's code gen over any projects contributing bindings in order to be merged with the new implementation.
Deprecated
ClassReference.functions
has been deprecated in favor ofClassReference.memberFunctions
andClassReference.declaredMemberFunctions
ClassReference.properties
has been deprecated in favor ofClassReference.memberProperties
andClassReference.declaredMemberProperties
ClassName.generateClassName()
andClassReference.generateClassName()
have been renamed to__.joinSimpleNames()
for the sake of clarity. TheClassName
version has also moved packages, so its new fully qualified name iscom.squareup.anvil.compiler.internal.joinSimpleNames
.ClassName.generateClassNameString()
has been renamed/moved tocom.squareup.anvil.compiler.internal.generateHintFileName()
.ContributesBinding.priority
has been deprecated in favor of the int-value-basedContributesBinding.rank
. This allows for more granular prioritization, rather than just the three enum entries thatContributesBinding.Priority
offered.
Important
IDE auto-replace can auto-replace the enum entry with the corresponding integer, but not the named argument. Automatically-migrated code may wind up with something like priority = RANK_NORMAL
. This is an IntelliJ limitation.
Fixed
- don't leak Anvil's annotation artifacts to the target project's compile classpath (#822)
- Gradle configuration caching will no longer be invalidated by changes to
ir-merges.txt
(#1045) - The Anvil plugin will no longer cause
KaptGenerateStubsTask
tasks to be configured eagerly (#1043) - resolve inherited field-injected generic properties to their substituted type (#1040)
- Resolve generic types when checking Subcomponent factory return types (#1041)
- consider
ignoreQualifier
arguments when checking for duplicate bindings (#1033) - incremental compilation is automatically disabled for source sets that perform interface or module merging (#1024)
- include inherited functions in Subcomponent Factory checks (#1038)
- Anvil will now attempt to shorten the names of hint files, generated "merged" subcomponents, and contributed binding modules so that all file names derived from them will have 255 characters or fewer.
- cache generated file paths relative to the build directory (changed from project directory) (#979)
- pass files with only top-level function/property declarations to
CodeGenerator
implementations (#956) - rename the new int-based priority to
rank
, restore the enum topriority
(#957) - Fix private targets API use (#961)
- Always generate provider factories for binding modules (#951)
- use the resolved value of
const
arguments in propagated annotation arguments (#940) - re-run analysis between an incremental sync and code generation (#943)
- delay
@ContributesSubcomponent
generation until the last analysis rounds (#946) - Code generated because of a
@Contributes___
annotation in a dependency module is now correctly deleted when there is a relevant change in the dependency module. - Nested interfaces and modules can now be contributed to enclosing classes.
- Don't fail the build when a
@Binds
-annotated function binds a generic type (#885)- This is a revert of the changes in (#833).
- Binding supertype which is narrower than return type is wrongly allowed by @IlyaGulya in (#833)
- Don't cache the
projectDir
orbinaryFile
as part ofGeneratedFileCache
(#883) - Add restored-from-cache, previously-generated files to analysis results after code generation (#882)
Dependencies
- Update dependency gradle to v8.11.1 (#1072)
- Update dagger to v2.51.1 (#944)
- Upgrade Kotlin to
1.9.24
(#891)
Custom Code Generator
- The
GeneratedFile
result type has been deprecated in favor ofGeneratedFileWithSources
. This new type allows for precise tracking of the generated files, which in turn drastically improves incremental compilation performance (#693).
