Kapt does not work with AutoValue in Android Studio 3.0

Question

Gradle dependencies:

compile 'com.google.dagger:dagger:2.9'
annotationProcessor 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.9'
kapt 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.9'

provided "com.google.auto.value:auto-value:1.4.1"
annotationProcessor "com.google.auto.value:auto-value:1.4.1"

getting this stacktrace:

:presentation:kaptDevDebugKotlin

I think Kotlin does not need AutoValue at all because it has data classes https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/data-classes.html — Anton Holovin, May 18 '17 at 11:14
Please file the new bug to our issue tracker http://kotl.in/issue. A sample project is also appreciated. — yanex, May 18 '17 at 12:17
I remember an issue with it. The resolution was to port all auto-value classes to kotlin data classes at once. — tynn, Jun 03 '17 at 07:18

@Geng Jiawen answer gave right direction, I changed everything to kapt

provided "com.google.auto.value:auto-value:1.4.1"
kapt "com.google.auto.value:auto-value:1.4.1"
kaptTest "com.google.auto.value:auto-value:1.4.1"
compile 'com.google.dagger:dagger:2.9'
kapt 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.9'
kaptTest 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.9'

But then I was getting

Error:Execution failed for task ':presentation:javaPreCompileProdDebug'.

Annotation processors must be explicitly declared now. The following dependencies on the compile classpath are found to contain annotation processor. Please add them to the annotationProcessor configuration.
- auto-value-1.4.1.jar
- auto-value-gson-0.4.6.jar
- auto-service-1.0-rc2.jar   
Alternatively, set

android.defaultConfig.javaCompileOptions.annotationProcessorOptions .includeCompileClasspath = true

to continue with previous behavior. Note that this option is deprecated and will be removed in the future. See https://developer.android.com/r/tools/annotation-processor-error-message.html for more details.

I added

defaultConfig {
    javaCompileOptions {
      annotationProcessorOptions {
        includeCompileClasspath false
      }
    }
  }

Only then it worked properly.

I want to mention that using kapt increased build time on 8-10%

This worked for me, but I'm concerned about the deprecation warning. Am I setting myself up for disaster in the future? — AutonomousApps, Dec 14 '17 at 00:00
`using kapt increased build time on 8-10%` Is there any proof? — Alexey Nikitin, Mar 20 '18 at 10:52
Since provided is now deprecated, using kapt and annotationProcessor in a pair worked for me like so: annotationProcessor 'com.google.auto.value:auto-value-annotations:1.7' kapt 'com.google.auto.value:auto-value-annotations:1.7' — Aegir, Dec 15 '19 at 13:34

I run this problem too. The fix is easy, just change AutoValue annotationProcessor to kapt. Kapt generate java file, not kotlin file from my observation. So the original annotationProcessor is unnecessary. Also remember to clean your project after this change.

compile 'com.google.dagger:dagger:2.9'
kapt 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.9'

provided "com.google.auto.value:auto-value:1.4.1"
kapt "com.google.auto.value:auto-value:1.4.1"

Migrate current project to kotlin is not that easy, but let's keep trying it :)

I've just fixed the same problem by removing provided 'org.glassfish:javax.annotation:10.0-b28' from my dependencies.

defaultConfig {
javaCompileOptions {
  annotationProcessorOptions {
    includeCompileClasspath true
  }
}

}
in module build gradle
