AssistedInject for a type with generic parameter produces code that doesn't compile

Dagger 2.31 The following class generates code that doesn’t compile:

package com.example

import dagger.assisted.Assisted
import dagger.assisted.AssistedFactory
import dagger.assisted.AssistedInject

class AssistedInjectRepro<T> @AssistedInject constructor(
    @Assisted obj: T,
) {

    @AssistedFactory
    interface Factory {

        fun <T> create(
            obj: T,
        ): AssistedInjectRepro<T>
    }
}

generated code:

// Generated by Dagger (https://dagger.dev).
package com.example;

import dagger.internal.InstanceFactory;
import javax.inject.Provider;

@SuppressWarnings({
    "unchecked",
    "rawtypes"
})
public class AssistedInjectRepro_Factory_Impl implements AssistedInjectRepro.Factory {
  private final AssistedInjectRepro_Factory<T> delegateFactory;

  AssistedInjectRepro_Factory_Impl(AssistedInjectRepro_Factory<T> delegateFactory) {
    this.delegateFactory = delegateFactory;
  }

  @Override
  public <T> AssistedInjectRepro<T> create(T obj) {
    return delegateFactory.get(obj);
  }

  public static <T> Provider<AssistedInjectRepro.Factory> create(
      AssistedInjectRepro_Factory<T> delegateFactory) {
    return InstanceFactory.create(new AssistedInjectRepro_Factory_Impl(delegateFactory));
  }
}

which fails with

@lwasyl, thanks for the repro case!

I agree we should support this. I should be able to get a fix out soon.

@lwasyl, just a heads up that we’re still considering this but it’s unlikely it’ll be in the next release.

For now, I’m going to add some validation in our processor so that at least we’ll catch this and fail fast with a better error message rather than generating invalid java.
