android - java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException (no error message) for task ':app:kaptDebugKotlin'

Question

i ran into following error an cannot find an solution.

Execution failed for task ':app:kaptDebugKotlin'.
> A failure occurred while executing org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.internal.KaptExecution
   > java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException (no error message)

I cannot say, what I have done last time, probably there is some library causing this error which i had updated.

    id 'kotlin-android'

These are my librarys + versions. Hopefully this helps. I give you the full error log as well, so you have, what I have.

Because inside the error is the Database mentioned, I give it as well.

package com.padder.application.data

import androidx.room.Database
import androidx.room.RoomDatabase
import javax.inject.Inject

@Database(entities = [Table1::class , Table2::class], version = 1) //exportSchema = false  is not working
abstract class Database : RoomDatabase() {

    abstract fun dao(): Dao
}

Just say if you need more snippeds, but hopefully these arent to much snippets that you not run away.

As wished here is the Dao I use:

package com.padder.application.data

import androidx.room.*
import kotlinx.coroutines.flow.Flow

@Dao
interface Dao {
    /**
     * SQL-Sort
     */
    @Insert(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.REPLACE)
    suspend fun insert(item: Item)

    @Update
    suspend fun update(item: item)

    @Delete
    suspend fun delete(item: Item)

    // Searchqueries LIST-Fragment
    fun getItemList(sortState: SortSpinnerState, item: String, search: String) : Flow<List<Item>> =
        when (sortState) {
            SortSpinnerState.BY_NAME -> getItemListSortName(item, search)
            SortSpinnerState.BY_TASTE -> getItemListSortTaste(item, search)
            SortSpinnerState.BY_FAV -> getItemListSortFav(item, search)
            SortSpinnerState.BY_LIKE -> getItemListSortLike(item, search)
        }

    @Query("SELECT nr, name, taste, marke, mag, fav FROM tabak WHERE marke = :marke AND name LIKE '%' || :search || '%' ORDER BY name ASC")
    fun getItemListSortName(marke: String, search: String): Flow<List<Item>>

    @Query("SELECT nr, name, taste, marke, mag, fav FROM tabak WHERE marke = :marke AND name LIKE '%' || :search || '%' ORDER BY taste ASC")
    fun getItemListSortTaste(marke: String, search: String): Flow<List<Item>>

    @Query("SELECT nr, name, taste, marke, mag, fav FROM tabak WHERE marke = :marke AND name LIKE '%' || :search || '%' ORDER BY fav = 1 DESC, name ASC")
    fun getItemListSortFav(marke: String, search: String): Flow<List<Item>>

    @Query("SELECT nr, name, taste, marke, mag, fav FROM tabak WHERE marke = :marke AND name LIKE '%' || :search || '%' ORDER BY like = 1 DESC, like = 2 DESC, like = 3 ASC, name ASC")
    fun getItemListSortLike(marke: String, search: String): Flow<List<Item>>

    // Searchqueries HOME-Fragment
    fun getItemListHome(state: SearchByState, search: String) : Flow<List<Item>> =
        when (state) {
            SearchByState.BY_NAME -> getItemListHomeName(search)
            SearchByState.BY_TASTE -> getItemListHomeTaste(search)
            SearchByState.NO_SEARCH -> getItemListHomeNone()
        }

    @Query("SELECT nr, name, taste, marke, mag, fav FROM tabak WHERE name LIKE '%' || :search || '%' ORDER BY name ASC")
    fun getItemListHomeName(search: String): Flow<List<Item>>

    @Query("SELECT nr, name, taste, marke, mag, fav FROM tabak WHERE geschmack LIKE '%' || :search || '%' ORDER BY taste ASC")
    fun getItemListHomeTaste(search: String): Flow<List<Item>>

    @Query("SELECT nr, name, taste, marke, mag, fav FROM tabak WHERE nr = 0 ORDER BY taste ASC")
    fun getItemListHomeNone(): Flow<List<Item>>

    /**
     * SQL-Marke
     */
    @Insert(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.REPLACE)
    suspend fun insert(marke: Marke)

    @Update
    suspend fun update(marke: Marke)

    @Delete
    suspend fun delete(marke: Marke)

    @Query("SELECT marke FROM marke ORDER BY nr")
    suspend fun getMarkeListe(): List<String>

    @Query("SELECT nr FROM marke WHERE marke = :marke")
    suspend fun getMarkeNr(marke: String): Int
}

So my question. Can you help me to get rid of this error? What did I just do wrong, or what can I do to handle it.
Thank you!

Answer 1

and user with same problem,

the gotten error is because updated the libraries and is causing by an annotation inside the viewholder.

@ViewModelInject is depricated and needs do replaced by @Inject and the class needs to be annotated with @HiltViewModel.

for example:
old: DEPRICATED

class MainViewModel @ViewModelInject constructor() : ViewModel() { ... }

new:

@HiltViewModel
class MainViewModel @Inject constructor() : ViewModel() { ... }

now everything work fine again :))

Have a nice day
