Enable Gradle build and configuration caching#8669
Conversation
Enabling `org.gradle.caching` allows Gradle to reuse task outputs from previous builds, significantly reducing build times for incremental builds. Enabling `org.gradle.configuration-cache` caches the result of the configuration phase, skipping the evaluation of the build script when no configuration changes are detected. These optimizations reduced local build verification time from ~1m 7s to ~46s.

Note that we may want to get in the habit of running ./gradlew clean more often to avoid getting into weird cache states.

This looks great! Do a bit of poking around and a query to gemini, there are a few downsides that would be worth mitigating. Specifically, 
And some advice: 
It seems like avoiding caching on Process aside: another thing to consider adding to your prompt is something along the lines of: "Are there any possible downsides to XYZ? Evaluate and propose remedies" |

@pq The Flutter IJ plugin doesn't use Grammar-Kit (and never will). The Dart IJ Plugin does, a PR like this, flutter/dart-intellij-third-party#180, would prevent any issue with caching. From my experience clearing your cache (thanks you @helin24) is par the course with or without this setting. These are the simplest of the "please do the right thing" kinds of settings for a healthy project. Also keep in mind that the presubmits would catch any bad caching from our local machines as well. |
Good catch. I was getting my repos mixed up! 😬
Could you elaborate? Why cache in places if we're just going to clear it? Do mean specifically for
Cool! Could you explain? Thanks! |
Without cacheing something already, a single build or verify would take an hour or more (think downloading and keeping the IJ platform versions on disk). I mean this honestly more in jest from my own experience, every few weeks it is a requirement with my machines and these projects to clear my own
Our presubmit machines aren't configured to cache across sessions.
