Jetpack Compose does not compile in a multi-module project

Question

I'm having an issue trying to add jetpack compose in a multi-module project I'm using Android Studio 4.2 Canary 3

the gradle task that fails is:module:compileDebugKotlin with this error message

e: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Backend Internal error: Exception during code generation

my:module build.gradle looks like this

android {

    compileOptions {

        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

    kotlinOptions {

        jvmTarget = "1.8"

        // Compose compiler based on 1.4 but set 1.3 for compatibility
        apiVersion = "1.3"
    }

    buildFeatures {

        compose true
    }

    composeOptions {

        kotlinCompilerVersion "1.3.70-dev-withExperimentalGoogleExtensions-20200424"

        kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion "0.1.0-dev14"
    }
}

does anyone knows how to solve this problem?

the full stack trace is

UPDATE March 24 2021

Sorry everyone for the delay,

I never managed to compile a multi-module project with any of the compose developer preview versions, I asked a lot in the official compose slack channel and nothing worked; after compose became alpha my team and I updated the project to the 1st alpha version and Canary version of android studio at that time (which i really don't remember), and then everything worked as expected:D

Right now we are using the Android Studio Canary 8 and the compose beta 02, everything is working superfine, we even took the decision to launch some modules all made with compose in production and we haven't received any crashes in crashlytics in about 1 moth in production.

We also are still using the now deprecated kotlin synthetics in some parts of the app, the android gradle plugin shows some warnings about the deprecation but its still working as expected, and soon everything in the app will be made using compose

Answer 1

There was the same problem but it was caused not by modules, but by problems with android studio, it worked for me on android studio 4.1 canary 10 and with the same build parameters

Answer 2

If you're using Kotlin Synthetics, try changing to defined view binding. I got a similar error while integrating Twilio, and that fixed it right up. Good luck!
