Update to 2.40.1 from 2.40 breaks build

I have a hilt @Entrypoint and other dagger components that depend on it and the code is working in 2.40 but not in 2.40.1. Code example similar to my code: In 1st Gradle module with hilt dependencies:

@EntryPoint
@InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
interface SomeComponent {

    fun exposeContext(): Context

    fun exposeApplication(): Application
}

In 2nd Gradle module with dagger dependencies(not hilt):

@CoreScope
@Component(
    modules = [
        CoreInjectionModule::class,
        AndroidInjectionModule::class,
        DatabaseModule::class,
        CoreViewModelModule::class,
        CoreServicesModule::class,
        CoreBroadcastModule::class,
        CoreWorkerModule::class
    ],
    dependencies = [GiantComponent::class, SomeComponent::class]
)
interface CoreComponent : ExposeCoreDependencies, ExposeComponent, WorkerComponent {

    @CoreInjector
    override fun dispatcher(): BaseModuleAndroidInjector<Any>

    @CoreInjector
    override fun workers(): WorkerProviders
}

(Because I am between a migration from dagger I can not use hilt in all Gradle modules) The build has this error: CoreComponent can not resolve all of its dependencies or have cyclic dependency… I fixed it by reversing the hilt and dagger to 2.40 for now.

@gmazzo, yeah we’ve been having plans to improve this error message for a while https://github.com/google/dagger/issues/2208.

Due to the increase in issues related to this, I’ve now started looking into fixing it. Hopefully, we’ll have better error messages in the next Dagger release.

same here. 2.40 to 2.40.1 we get a error: dagger.internal.codegen.ComponentProcessor was unable to process 'packagename.OurComponent' because not all of its dependencies could be resolved. Check for compilation errors or a circular dependency with generated code.

we are not using Hilt. only Dagger + Anvil.
