11/12/2018, 4:18 PMHi, I am trying to make custom annotation for Guice in kotlin codebase, it currenly doesn't recognize kotlin annotations it seems. There was a suggestion to use kapt to make it work, but I am not sure what exactly should I do with it

11/12/2018, 8:56 PMGuice is a runtime DI library, kapt is for compile-time annotation processing. Do you have the annotation retention set to runtime?
Copy code
@Retention(AnnotationRetention.RUNTIME)
annotation class CustomGuiceAnnotationd
Dias
11/12/2018, 9:02 PMah, I do have that set yeah
Dias
11/12/2018, 9:04 PMI use that annotation in primary constractor field and
@TargetFIELDDias
11/12/2018, 9:06 PMI also tried using something like
@field:CustomGuiceAnnotationc
Casey Brooks
11/12/2018, 9:06 PMThe
@Retention@Targetd
Dias
11/12/2018, 9:06 PMyeah I know
Dias
11/12/2018, 9:06 PMthat’s what I did
Dias
11/12/2018, 9:07 PMI just wanted to tell you where I am using the annotation

Casey Brooks
11/12/2018, 9:08 PMAh, got it. I am inclined to say that the annotation itself is not the issue, and that your setup with Guice is the problem. Does the same annotation work as expected if it’s in Java?

Dias
11/12/2018, 9:09 PMI didn’t try to use in in Java, our codebase is fully kotlin
Dias
11/12/2018, 9:09 PM@NamedDias
11/12/2018, 9:10 PMso I thought the problem was about custom annotation
Dias
11/12/2018, 9:10 PMso you think Guice should work fine with Kotlin annotations?
c
Casey Brooks
11/12/2018, 9:11 PMYeah, there should be no difference between Java and Kotlin annotations, Guice doesn’t know the difference between the two.
