degrade

degrade is a tool that analyses kotlin-multiplatform Gradle plugin events, and creates shell scripts that run executed Kotlin/Native tools (compiler, cinterop) without Gradle.

Intended to be helpful in minimizing reproducers or investigating Kotlin/Native-related problems.

Confirmed to work with Kotlin versions from 1.8.10 to 2.2.0-RC.

Probably doesn't work on Windows.

Usage

degrade <your usual Gradle invocation>

for example, in a Gradle project directory

degrade ./gradlew build

The tool runs Gradle build, analyses certain events during the run, and generates shell scripts in the degrade directory at the project root. It emits a script per Kotlin/Native task, and also rerun-all.sh and rerun-failed.sh.
