Uhm this may sound dumb, but is it possible to use a

lateinit var

inside a

by lazy {...}

block of another

val

? I get the

UninitializedPropertyAccessException

when the class is being created.

Yep, pretty sure that I am doing that with the auto-wiring of Spring Components. Are you sure that the dependency is being initialised?

The thing is that there's no constructor or init logic in general. The lateinit property is being initialized later on. I checked the bytecode generated for the class and in there there's a check (during init) whether the lateinit parameter passed in a lazy block is zero. At that point it indeed is zero thus the exception. Thanks for taking the time to reply :)
