Dagger 2.50 KSP fails to generate field in implementation for a @Named field about dagger

[bcorso]

@ggrell thanks for reporting, we'll try to take a look at this and figure out why the getter method is missing in KSP.

In the meantime, you should be able to just swap this over to a normal function, which I would recommend anyway since it's cleaner and more intuitive. For example

@AppScope
@Component(modules = [...])
interface AppComponent {
    @Named("Something")
    fun getSomeInjectedString(): String
}

@henrik-klev that is a different issue -- it's a duplicate of #4051. You can see that issue for the current workaround, or the more general workaround here #4049 (comment)

I have a similar issue with injecting a named parameter

class DefaultClient @Inject constructor(
    ...,
    @Named(BuildConfig.LIBRARY_PACKAGE_NAME) private val loggingInterceptor: LoggingInterceptor
) : HttpClient {

causes
