Hi All,
am getting the below error when trying to add databinding with kotlin in my project,

apptransformDataBindingWithDataBindingMergeArtifactsForDebug
appkaptDebugKotlin FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ‘appkaptDebugKotlin’.

There was a failure while executing work items

> A failure occurred while executing org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.internal.KaptExecution
> java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException (no error message)

Note: am trying to enable dataBindind for kotlin in a legacy code which already has Databinding using java, have applied

apply plugin: ‘kotlin-kapt’
kapt “com.android.databindingcompiler3.1.4”

please help

This problem was definitely not related to Kotlin!!! it was a problem with the improper usage of model within the xml, however, the error message could have been a little better by letting us know in detail whats wrong, took time to figure this out.
