We have a lot of
fake
/demo
/testing
style projects that are only intended for consumption by debug variant apps. Some of these have onlydebug/
sourcesets. In a perfect world, we would use single-variant android libraries and rely on other tooling to ensure these projects never end up in release builds. Our current state leaves us with a lot of complications if we try to run analysis on both debug and release variants because these debug-only projects often fail to compile in the release configuration, or we are just wasting time by analyzingreleaseUnitTest
stuff.I'd propose this as an intermediate solution until a v3.0 where we might have a more advanced DSL for exclusions. What I'd really like to do is be able to exclude release variants for test source sets everywhere.
