error: [Dagger/MissingBinding] SwipeRepository cannot be provided without an @Provides-annotated method

Question

I have a problem with Dagger/MissingBinding.I have red all the related answers on stackoverflow. They didn't solve my problem.

Errors looks like:

error: [Dagger/MissingBinding] SwipeRepository cannot be provided without an @Provides-annotated method.

And my sources:

AppModule.kt

@Module
@InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)

    @Provides

        loginLocalDataSource: LoginLocalDataSource,
        keyCheckerInterceptor: KeyCheckerInterceptor,
    ): OkHttpClient =
        OkHttpClient.Builder()
            .addInterceptor(
                ClientAuthInterceptor(

                    sessionLocalDataSource,
                    loginLocalDataSource
                )
            )

    }

    @Binds
    abstract fun bindRepository(SwipeRepository: SwipeRepositoryImpl): SwipeRepository

}

GetMatchUsersUsecase.kt

    override fun execute(parameters: String): Flow<Result<SwipeResult>> {

So, please tell me any ideas how to fix it?

Answer 1

The problem here is usage of binds and provides together.

From the docs here: https://dagger.dev/dev-guide/faq.html#:~:text=Because%20%40Binds%20methods%20are%20just,implementation%20and%20will%20be%20invoked.

Why can’t @Binds and instance @Provides methods go in the same module?

Because @Binds methods are just a method declaration, they are expressed as abstract methods — no implementation is ever created and nothing is ever invoked. On the other hand, a @Provides method does have an implementation and will be invoked.

Since @Binds methods are never implemented, no concrete class is ever created that implements those methods. However, instance @Provides methods require a concrete class in order to construct an instance on which the method can be invoked.

Solution:

If you want to use both in the same module. Use bind inside an interface. Like below.

@Module(includes = [SwipeModule.Test::class])
@InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
object SwipeModule {


    @Provides
    @Singleton
    fun providesRepo(): SwipeRepository {
        return SwipeRepositoryImpl()
    }

    @Module
    @InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
    interface Test{
        @Binds
        fun bindRepository(SwipeRepository: SwipeRepositoryImpl): SwipeRepository
    }

}

Try this way and let me know.
