Hey @farquet, I tried to clarify the benchmark readme. Let me, know if it's more clear now or if there any other issues

[lbulej]

Ilia (@zavidnyi), could you look into why the JMH wrappers fail to build in the CI? The JMH wrapper around the Kotlin benchmark should not really need to run kotlinCompile task, so maybe just disabling the plugin for the wrappers target could fix that?

@lbulej I've fixed an issue by disabling the Koltin plugin for both renaissanceJmhWrappers and dependant renaissanceJmh. However, this seems like more of a workaround rather than a fix. I'm unfamiliar with sbt, so it's hard for me to say why koltinCompile even triggers there.

Thanks!

No problem, that's the usual case with SBT :-) I'll check later if there is a better way to do this, but I want to merge the benchmark in a state that passes the CI.

One (I believe) last thing: please add test and jmh configurations to the benchmark — see for example RxScrabble.scala. The test configuration is supposed to trigger a short workload meant to be run during CI. The jmh configuration is used when run via JMH and is usually empty (meaning it uses the defaults) — unless there is a need for an override under JMH.

@lbulej I've added the test and jmh configurations for the kotlin-ktor

One question: Where is exactly jmh configuration is used? I've not found any place in the repository which calls it and according to the README I'd assume that I can pass arguments to the JMH package as usual, without extra empty configuration

It is used (by default) by the JmhRenaissanceBenchmark class, which is the base class for JMH wrapper classes that are generated for individual benchmarks.

Hi @lbulej, I've just noticed that PR still not merged. I can see that some checks failed, but for some reason I can't see the details. Could you please rerun them, so I could check what's wrong?

The JVM has trouble finding some Kotlin classes when run under JMH. I have re-run the checks so that you could see for yourself (you should be able to run the CI checks in your repository too).
