'org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull' could not be resolved

Hello!

I’m an Android developer and I use Dagger in my project. The project is written in Kotlin. I’ve updated Dagger version to 2.41. Since that the project hasn’t built. The build is failed with error:

ComponentProcessingStep was unable to process ‘this.package.name.AppComponent’ because ‘org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull’ could not be resolved.

I’ve added Gradle dependency in my classpath:

dependencies {
    ....
    compileOnly("org.jetbrains:annotations:23.0.0")
    ....
    kapt("com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.41")
}

but it didn’t help…

How to fix this?

@bcorso, @tbroyer thank you very much for your replies!

I’ve found the problem. Dependency org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull isn’t needed. I didn’t notice the following in the :app module gradle file:

configurations {
    implementation.get().exclude("org.jetbrains", "annotations")
}

If I remove this, the project will be built without errors. Exclusion org.jetbrains.annotations from application configurations worked with dagger versions till 2.41

Hmm, is there any way you could create a sample project that reproduces this so that I can take a look?

My only guess is that you’re adding the dependency to the wrong Gradle module. Can you show the task that failed (should be right above the error message, e.g. > Task :someModule:someTask FAILED). You’ll want to make sure you’re adding the dependency to the :someModule Gradle module.
