A failure occurred while executing org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.internal.KaptExecution > java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException (no error message)

Question

Android studio gave the error:

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 want to add in my project Kotlin Coroutines and use it with Room database. But after added all libraries I got this error. This is all information from the compiler.

I have identified, This is because of the annotation @Database. If I removed this annotation, the error don't appear, but Room is not working too.

My gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application' apply plugin: 'kotlin-android' apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions' apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt' //apply plugin: 'androidx.navigation.safeargs'  kotlin {     experimental {         coroutines 'enable'     } }  android {     compileSdkVersion 29     defaultConfig {         applicationId "com.bestcred.coursetthree"         minSdkVersion 21         targetSdkVersion 29         versionCode 1         versionName "1.0"          testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"         //vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true     }     buildTypes {         release {             minifyEnabled false             proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'         }     }      // Enables data binding.     buildFeatures {         dataBinding true     } }  dependencies {       implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"      // Support libraries     implementation "androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.2.0"     implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0'     implementation "androidx.fragment:fragment:1.2.5"     implementation "androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.0"      // Android KTX     implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.3.1'      // Room and Lifecycle dependencies     implementation "androidx.room:room-runtime:$room_version"     implementation 'androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.0.0'     kapt "android.arch.persistence.room:compiler:$room_version"      // Kotlin Extensions and Coroutines support for Room     implementation "androidx.room:room-ktx:$room_version"      // Coroutines     implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:$coroutine_version"     implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-android:$coroutine_version"  }  kotlin_version = "1.4.0" room_version = "2.2.5" coroutine_version = '1.3.9' 

I update Room version and add Kotlin Coroutines. What's problem?

Answer 1

Android Studio's UI was just hiding the error...

when the error occurred, it highlighted the item in the list view, and showed an unhelpful message in the terminal view.

to find the real error, select the root item in the list view so that Android Studio would display the whole build output in the terminal view, then scroll to find error.

I develop in Apple Silicon Macbook M1.

use room_version 2.2.4, fails in 2.2.5

def room_version = "2.2.4"  implementation "androidx.room:room-runtime:$room_version" kapt "androidx.room:room-compiler:$room_version" implementation "androidx.room:room-ktx:$room_version" testImplementation "androidx.room:room-testing:$room_version"
