Hi guys, I'm having this compilation issue:

error: cannot find symbol
@Generated()
error: package javax.annotation.processing does not exist
import javax.annotation.processing.Generated

It seems to be related to dagger2, happens when I try to run my Espresso tests in my ec2 instance. I'm using Open JDK11, Gradle 4.10. Any Ideas?

[skoric]

are you maybe using JDK 9+?

[dave]

I'm using JDK 11

[dave]

Is there any issue with it?

[skoric]

Yes, see here: https://github.com/google/dagger/issues/1339

Thanks a lot, few hours wasted on it. Just configured to use jdk 1.8, and that's it. Have a nice day!

I tried OpenJDK 11 few weeks ago and made Dagger work by passing --release 8 through kapt options.

For the missing annotation iirc I used implementation 'javax.annotation:javax.annotation-api:1.3.2'.
