[Component.Resources] Generating an APK throws error due to task dependency implication

[yuroyami]

Kotiln: 2.0.0-Beta1 and 1.9.21
Compose version: 1.6.0-dev1350

When I try to release an APK from my project, two tasks throw an error, both of which say that "they use output from this task :shared:copyFontsToAndroidAssets without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency".

These two tasks are: :shared:generateReleaseLintVitalModel and :shared:lintVitalAnalyzeRelease

The stacktrace:

FAILURE: Build completed with 2 failures.

1: Task failed with an exception.
-----------
* What went wrong:
A problem was found with the configuration of task ':shared:generateReleaseLintVitalModel' (type 'LintModelWriterTask').
  - Gradle detected a problem with the following location: '/Users/mac/WORKSTATION/SyncplayMobile/shared/build/generated/compose/resourceGenerator/androidFonts'.
    
    Reason: Task ':shared:generateReleaseLintVitalModel' uses this output of task ':shared:copyFontsToAndroidAssets' without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency. This can lead to incorrect results being produced, depending on what order the tasks are executed.
    
    Possible solutions:
      1. Declare task ':shared:copyFontsToAndroidAssets' as an input of ':shared:generateReleaseLintVitalModel'.
      2. Declare an explicit dependency on ':shared:copyFontsToAndroidAssets' from ':shared:generateReleaseLintVitalModel' using Task#dependsOn.
      3. Declare an explicit dependency on ':shared:copyFontsToAndroidAssets' from ':shared:generateReleaseLintVitalModel' using Task#mustRunAfter.

As a workaround, adding this to my shared module's build.gradle.kts would resolve the issue:

tasks.withType<AndroidLintAnalysisTask>{
    dependsOn("copyFontsToAndroidAssets")
}

tasks.withType<LintModelWriterTask>{
    dependsOn("copyFontsToAndroidAssets")
}

This might be a Gradle plugin/wrapper incompatibility though. I am still not sure.
I am using Gradle 8.5 and AGP 8.2.0.

Could you please provide a minimal reproducer project?

Have you tried other gradle and AGP versions?

These two tasks are: :shared:generateReleaseLintVitalModel and :shared:lintVitalAnalyzeRelease

These two tasks are not added by Compose Multiplatform. I guess they're added by AGP. So I think it's worth trying with different AGP versions.

It looks to me this is related with the new resources in 1.6.0

Gradle detected a problem with the following location: '/path/to/project/build/generated/compose/resourceGenerator/androidFonts'.

[arkivanov]

I've also encountered this. Steps to reproduce:

1. Generate a new project using the KMP Wizard
2. Update compose-plugin dependency from 1.6.0-alpha01 to 1.6.0-beta01
3. Run ./gradlew :composeApp:build

It fails with:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

If I updated AGP from 8.1.4 to 8.2.2, then the build fails with:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

As a workaround, adding this to my shared module's build.gradle.kts would resolve the issue:

tasks.withType<AndroidLintAnalysisTask>{
    dependsOn("copyFontsToAndroidAssets")
}

tasks.withType<LintModelWriterTask>{
    dependsOn("copyFontsToAndroidAssets")
}

This might be a Gradle plugin/wrapper incompatibility though. I am still not sure. I am using Gradle 8.5 and AGP 8.2.0.

This saved me from errors after updating to version 1.6.0-beta01.

In case this is helpful, I'm also seeing this, on release builds only, using these:

• gradle 8.6
• AGP: 8.4.0-alpha08
• Compose MP: 1.6.0-beta02

Project uses the composeResources support for a few drawables (PNG images). In this project all the compose multiplatform code is in a separate module named "uiCommon". There are 4 other modules in the project, and only the uiCommon module gets these gradle errors that make release builds fail. The gradle errors displayed all suggest the gradle task dependencies below are required and are missing (I'm cherry-picking from the output):

A problem was found with the configuration of task ':uiCommon:generateReleaseLintModel' (type 'LintModelWriterTask').
      1. Declare task ':uiCommon:copyFontsToAndroidAssets' as an input of ':uiCommon:generateReleaseLintModel'.

A problem was found with the configuration of task ':uiCommon:lintVitalAnalyzeRelease' (type 'AndroidLintAnalysisTask').
      1. Declare task ':uiCommon:copyFontsToAndroidAssets' as an input of ':uiCommon:lintVitalAnalyzeRelease'.

A problem was found with the configuration of task ':uiCommon:generateReleaseLintVitalModel' (type 'LintModelWriterTask').
      1. Declare task ':uiCommon:copyFontsToAndroidAssets' as an input of ':uiCommon:generateReleaseLintVitalModel'.

So it looks like at a minimum tasks generateReleaseLintVitalModel, lintVitalAnalyzeRelease, and generateReleaseLintModel all need task copyFontsToAndroidAssets as an input or an explicit dependency.

Oh, and I forgot to mention I can confirm that the same work-around from alpine12 also fixes my build.

gradle = gradle-8.8-all.zip
androidGradlePlugin = "8.2.0"
composeMultiplatform = "1.7.0-dev1698"
kotlin = "2.0.0"

Still having the same issue.

Because IDEA 2024.1.4 only supports 8.2.0, AGP cannot be upgraded temporarily.

If I need to upgrade AGP, then I need to wait for 2024.2 to be released.
