@BindValue fields cannot be private.

Hilt is generating my public @BindValue kotlin properties as private and complaining about it:

@HiltAndroidTest
@UninstallModules(
    AuthenticationStorageModule::class, 
)
@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4::class)
//@Config(application = HiltTestApplication::class)  // For Robolectric tests
class MainActivityInstrumentedTest {

    @get:Rule(order = 0) var hiltRule = HiltAndroidRule(this)
    @get:Rule(order = 1) var activityScenarioRule = activityScenarioRule<MainActivity>(null)

    @Before fun init() = hiltRule.inject()

    @BindValue 
    val ftueData = object : FirstTimeUserExperienceData {
        override var hasOnboardingBeenCompleted = false
        override var hasNotificationAllowed = false
        override var hasFindMyDeviceCompleted = false
    }

    @BindValue 
    val authenticationData = object : AuthenticationData {
        override var name = ""
        override var emailAdress = ""
    }

    @Test fun test() = runBlockingTest { }

}

below is the error from Hilt:

.../build/tmp/kapt3/stubs/debugAndroidTest/com/my/app/MainActivityInstrumentedTest.java:31: error: [Hilt]

Hi @Computr0n , for now I think either @BindValue lateinit var or @BindValue @JvmField val will work.

We do have plans to make this work with just @BindValue var, but we haven’t gotten to this yet.

Thanks for the heads up on the documentation! That should be fixed now.
