By design, once added, Gradle plugins are always enabled. You didn’t mention the reason behind your request, and what benefit, in your opinion, it might bring. Feel free to elaborate if you want this issue to be reconsidered.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Maybe what I mean is toggle the output. Let’s say a developer doesn’t need this output while developing (unless on specific performance test). But on CI build it is insightful with every run. So not to disable the feature, but toggle the output on and off.

An option to suppress the output seems reasonable. Can you show how you want to toggle the output depending on the environment?

Sorry for misunderstanding, should I show it via PR? or write the general idea here?

A PR is definitely appreciated but you can also show some code snippet here as to how you intend to use the output.

Hey, sorry, was on vacation fir the past two weeks. will try to attach PR this week.

Before making a PR, I’d like to see how you intend to flip the output based on the environment. Currently there are two output formats, console and CSV. Why don’t you try and switch between them, perhaps based on the presence of an environment variable? If you’re able to do that, then adding another output option is going to be trivial for your use case.
