Kotlin Sample

I’ve tried using this project on a kotlin Android application but could not make it work with the reflection free configuration. I tried:

kapt {
    generateStubs = true

    arguments {
        arg("toothpick_registry_package_name", "myproject.package")
        arg("toothpick_registry_children_package_names", "toothpick.smoothie")
    }
}

and

dependencies {
    // ...
    kapt 'com.github.stephanenicolas.toothpick:toothpick-compiler:1.0.6'
    compile "com.github.stephanenicolas.toothpick:toothpick-runtime:1.0.6"
    compile "com.github.stephanenicolas.toothpick:smoothie:1.0.6"
}

But the processor is not generating classes for the reflection free configuration.

@stephanenicolas sure!

In this part of the wiki you have:

Setting up the registries

Toothpick generates the registries at the same time it generates the factories and member injectors. As a developer using Toothpick, you need to

• configure the package into which the annotation processor will generate the registries for a given compilation unit (the application and each library);
• inform the toothpick annotation processor of possible dependency of your compilation unit : toothpick will need to know where to find the registries for each of them.

I’ll add something like:

Notice that for the annotation processor to generate these classes, your project must already contain at least one class with an annotation that Toothpick’s processor is marked to process. If you don’t have any class annotated with @Inject or the other annotations, then Toothpick’s processor will simply be skipped.

Also, in order to enhance the documentation, I think there should be some more pages to the wiki:

• Getting Started: an obvious one that I was surprised it is missing. It should provided a step by step guide to configuring an application.
• Kotlin setup: which would only show how to use kapt with argumets (currently not a very famous option IMHO).
• Testing: there is currently only a link to an implementation in the README.
• Smoothie library: there is but a few words about what it does.

Perhaps it is only a matter of creating a README in those submodules’ roots. I could propose some initial content in a PR if you agree that this is a good direction.

I think a gh-pages with JavaDoc hosting and some other goodies would greatly enhance the experience of getting acquainted with the project.

Well, it worked \o/

My configuration was perfectly right from the beginning. The issue was that I had no classes annotated with either @Inject nor anything. So the processor was not being called upon. I think it is worth mentioning this in the README or in the wiki.
