Configuration directory path injection giving me a Null

Plugins Plugin Development
1

So, I’m pretty sure this is a super obvious mistake but I’m absolutely out of ideas… Basically, I’m using the @Inject annotation to get a path to my plugin’s config directory and it’s giving me a null…

I’m injecting it like this: (Kotlin)

@Inject
@ConfigDir(sharedRoot = false)
private val configDir: Path? = null

According to the log (if I’m reading it correctly), the Injector cannot be created because of a KotlinNullPointerException, but that’s thrown AFTER the injection should happen (line 47)

Line 47 looks like this, the injection begins on line 43:

private val configFile: Path = if(configDir == null) throw KotlinNullPointerException() else Paths.get(configDir.toString() + "/config.conf")

When I remove the if and make the Path nullable, I still get the same error, just on a different line:

private val configLoader = HoconConfigurationLoader.builder().setPath(configFile!!).build()

So… Any ideas?

Because it is val and not var, it cannot reassign the variable after the object has been constructed. You have three options: constructor parameter val, nullable var, or nonnullable lateinit var. I would recommend the first one - injected fields are only really useful in Java where assigning from a constructor is boilerplate, unlike Kotlin where the constructor is in the class header and fields can be auto-assigned from constructor parameters.

Oooooooh. I knew it would be something simple like this :smiley: Thanks mate.
