@tsloughter do you recall what that function plays? Validating source paths?
eeeek 30 seconds!?
Maybe rebar3 should set it to false by default and relx not?
My thinking there is that since rebar3 already does the compilation step its job is to ensure source and object files are up to date and not relx's, so it can be skipped in relx.
That's a good call out yeah, under that mechanism we could switch the default since we track it all.
Description
rebar3 release
runs 30 seconds faster for MongooseIM after settingsrc_tests
option tofalse
in relx. Detailed explanation https://github.com/esl/MongooseIM/pull/4099Expected behaviour
src_tests could be disabled by default. Or we can write in docs that it is very slow. We could alternatively add a warning suggesting that the option could be disabled, if making script file takes more than 5 seconds.
Maybe relx repo is the better place for this issue.
