error: @Provides methods may not override another method.

I want to use @Provides in-conjunction with @Override. but dagger says error: @Provides methods may not override another method.. So I wrote below fix

@Override
protected X getX() {
    return new X();
}

@Provides
X provideX() {
    return getX();
}

Is this a good approach ?

I got here by googling the error message (of course). So this issue is important, even while closed.

I’ll add my 2 cents: here’s an explanation of a common use case that would naturally lead to inheritance of Modules, and the recommended way to implement it: https://dagger.dev/testing.html

@theapache64 how did you solve this problem? do you have any sample project which you could share?
