Hey guys hitting an issue trying to inject into a Worker with Hilt

🧵

E/WM-WorkerFactory: Could not instantiate am.planogr.planogram.editor.work.DownloadUseWorker

@HiltWorker
class DownloadUseWorker @AssistedInject constructor(
    @Assisted appContext: Context,
    @Assisted workerParams: WorkerParameters,
    private val api: DynamicUrlHitService,
) : CoroutineWorker(appContext, workerParams) {

work related deps update to 2.6.0-beta01 and hilt work is at 1.0.0

present in manifest

<meta-data
                android:name="androidx.work.impl.WorkManagerInitializer"
                android:value="androidx.startup"
                tools:node="remove" />

injected dependency is marked as a Singleton

@Provides
    @Singleton
    fun providesDynamicUrlHitService(
        @Named("simple-retrofit") retrofit: Retrofit
    ): DynamicUrlHitService = retrofit.create(DynamicUrlHitService::class.java)

I think you need a

return Configuration.Builder().setWorkerFactory(workerFactory).build()

Application

needs to implement

Configuration.Provider

Forgot to add that snippet. Ended up being my metadata in the manifest that needs tweaking.
