Dagger and Kotlin. Dagger doesn't generate component classes

Solution 1:

You need to have the kapt processor in build.gradle:

kapt {
    generateStubs = true
}

dependencies {
    ...
    compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"
    compile 'com.google.dagger:dagger:2.0.2'
    kapt 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.0.2'
    ...
}

This extension will generate the code for dagger.

Additionally, for newer gradle versions, you can also apply the plugin in your build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

dependencies {
    ...
    compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"
    compile 'com.google.dagger:dagger:2.0.2'
    kapt 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.0.2'
    ...
}

Solution 2:

I don't know when this change happened, but on 1.1.2 of the Kotlin gradle plugin you replace this (in your module's build.gradle):

kapt {
    generateStubs = true
}

with this:

apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

and then make sure to replace dependencies that use annotationProcessor with kapt.

For example, the old way would be to use:

annotationProcessor (
    'some.library:one:1.0'
    ...
    'some.library.n:n.0'
)

and now you use:

kapt (
    'some.library:one:1.0'
    ...
    'some.library.n:n.0'
)
