Error after using @Module annotation of Dagger on Kotlin

Issue

I have been getting this error after using @Module annotion of dagger on my sample kotlin project.

Execution failed for task ':app:kaptDebugKotlin'.
A failure occurred while executing org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.internal.KaptWithoutKotlincTask$KaptExecutionWorkAction
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException (no error message)

The error is thrown during compile time on kaptDebugKotlin task of gradle. Anyone else getting similar issue?

Solution

It seems that issue is gone after updating the Dagger version I have been using. Credit to this post (referring to google/dagger#2845 and google/dagger#2511), I was able to get rid of the error. I have been using version 2.28, and after updating to 2.34 the error is gone.
