Compile time issue

[sdoward]

I am trying to use this lib in a current project. When building I receive the error below. This happens during the kaptDebugKotlin task

e: error: compiler message file broken: key=compiler.err.Processor: org.jetbrains.kotlin.kapt3.base.ProcessorWrapper@28db3c9f arguments={0}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}, {6}, {7}
e: error: cannot access AcornAppCompatActivity
  class file for com.nhaarman.acorn.android.AcornAppCompatActivity not found
  Consult the following stack trace for details.
  com.sun.tools.javac.code.Symbol$CompletionFailure: class file for com.nhaarman.acorn.android.AcornAppCompatActivity not found

Interesting, because it's here

[nhaarman]

Hm, Acorn doesn't use annotation processing itself so I'm thinking it's a misconfiguration on your end. Could you share some of your config? Did you use the com.nhaarman.acorn.ext:acorn-android-appcompat artifact for example?

It's also funny that a Google search for the error results in at least two pages where @Zhuinden contributed 😅

[sdoward]

@Zhuinden gradle doesn't look at github to find source code.

@nhaarman yes I recognise this might be some config issue on my side.

Yes I am using that artefact. My config looks like this...

import org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.internal.AndroidExtensionsExtension
import org.sharethemeal.dependencies.AndroidSdk
import org.sharethemeal.dependencies.Libraries
import org.sharethemeal.dependencies.ReleaseConfig

plugins {
    id("com.android.library")
    id("kotlin-android")
    id("kotlin-android-extensions")
}


android {
    compileSdkVersion(AndroidSdk.compileSdk)

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion(AndroidSdk.minSdk)
        targetSdkVersion(AndroidSdk.targetSdk)
        versionCode = ReleaseConfig.instantVersionCode
        versionName = ReleaseConfig.appVersionName
        renderscriptTargetApi = AndroidSdk.targetSdk
        vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
        renderscriptSupportModeEnabled = true
        testInstrumentationRunner = "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

    buildTypes {
        getByName("release") {
            isMinifyEnabled = false
            proguardFiles(getDefaultProguardFile("proguard-android.txt"), "proguard-rules.pro")
        }
    }

    lintOptions {
        setLintConfig(file("../qualityconfigs/lint.xml"))
    }

}

androidExtensions {
    configure(delegateClosureOf<AndroidExtensionsExtension> {
        isExperimental = true
    })
}


dependencies {
    implementation(project(":core"))


    implementation ("com.nhaarman.acorn.ext:acorn-android-appcompat:0.11.6")
    implementation(Libraries.appCompat)
    kapt(Libraries.daggerCompiler)
    implementation(Libraries.dagger)
    kapt(Libraries.daggerAndroidCompiler)
    implementation(Libraries.cardView)
    implementation(Libraries.daggerAndroid)
    implementation(Libraries.kotlinStdlib)
    implementation(Libraries.androidBound)
    implementation(Libraries.rxJava)
    implementation(Libraries.joda)

    testImplementation(Libraries.junit)
    testImplementation(Libraries.mockitoKotlin)
}

One issue I had before this is that we don't use isExperimental = true from kotlin-android-extensions so I had to add that config (maybe you can include that in the readme)

[Zhuinden]

Does core have a different version of Acorn?

I see this is library module, maybe you need api("com.nhaarman.acorn.ext:acorn-android-appcompat:0.11.6")?

[sdoward]

core doesn't use acorn only this module

[Zhuinden]

Did you try changing implementation to api?

[nhaarman]

@sdoward did you make any progress on this? If not, would it be possible to reproduce the issue in an MVCE?

[sdoward]

@Zhuinden surprisingly your suggestion works.

@nhaarman I will try if I find some spare time.

Closing this issue for now. If you still find any difficulties, don't hesitate to open a new one.
