ProcessorWrapper error with multimodule component dependencies

I have three Components:

@Component(dependencies = [ComponentB::class])
interface ComponentA

@Component(dependencies = [ComponentC::class])
interface ComponentB

@Component
interface ComponentC

Each one in a different gradle module. The module dependencies are as follow:

ModuleA depends on ModuleB ModuleB depends on ModuleC ModuleC doesn’t have dependencies

The important thing is that ModuleA doesn’t know about ModuleC.

But when I compile this code I get the next error:

> Task :modulea:kaptDebugKotlin FAILED
e: error: compiler message file broken: key=compiler.err.Processor: org.jetbrains.kotlin.kapt3.base.ProcessorWrapper@4dce69f2 arguments={0}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}, {6}, {7}
e: error: cannot access ComponentC
  class file for com.braisgabin.dagger.modulec.ComponentC not found
  Consult the following stack trace for details.
  com.sun.tools.javac.code.Symbol$CompletionFailure: class file for com.braisgabin.dagger.modulec.ComponentC not found

If I add ModuleC as a dependency of ModuleA the error is fixed but I don’t want to do that. Why does ModuleA need to know about ModuleC?

I created a sample project to reproduce this error: https://github.com/BraisGabin/daggerprocessorwrapper (this commit workarounds the error: https://github.com/BraisGabin/daggerprocessorwrapper/tree/fix)

The full stack trace is:

Maybe related with #1263 but it’s not the same.

same problem here - is it any chance to reopen this ticket?

I have solved same problem by adding missed dependency to app module.
