Unclear error message for scoped provider

[vRallev]

I have a component similar to this:

@Scope
@Target(AnnotationTarget.CLASS, AnnotationTarget.FUNCTION, AnnotationTarget.PROPERTY_GETTER)
annotation class AppScope

@Component
@AppScope
abstract class AndroidAppComponent

I meant to add a new provider from a feature module like this:

typealias AppScopeCoroutineScope = CoroutineScope

interface AppScopeCoroutineScopeComponent {
    @AppScope
    @Provides
    fun provideCoroutineScope(dispatcher: IoCoroutineDispatcher): AppScopeCoroutineScope {
        return CoroutineScopeScoped(...)
    }
}

@Component
@AppScope
abstract class AndroidAppComponent : AppScopeCoroutineScopeComponent

This fails with following error:

e: [ksp] @Provides with scope: com.my.package.di.AppScope cannot be provided in an unscoped component

This message is confusing, because it's not clear which the unscoped component is. I only found out by trial and error that this provider method is triggering the error. Removing @AppScope from the provider method resolves the error, but it would result in bugs and is required to be a singleton. Changing it to the following will work:

@AppScope
interface AppScopeCoroutineScopeComponent {
    @AppScope
    @Provides
    fun provideCoroutineScope(dispatcher: IoCoroutineDispatcher): AppScopeCoroutineScope {
        return CoroutineScopeScoped(...)
    }
}

However, this creates a new error:

e: [ksp] Cannot apply scope: com.my.package.di.AppScope
e: [ksp] /path/AndroidAppComponent.kt:11: as scope: com.my.package.di.AppScope is already applied

This error is surprising, because the scope is not applied twice. I needed to change my final component to this to resolve the problem:

@Component
abstract class AndroidAppComponent : AppScopeCoroutineScopeComponent

This code finally runs, but I'm afraid that it will start failing again with another interface being added.

Is this an error on my end? How do I avoid this?

I think there's a few things going on here:

1. For the first error message, I suspect this is related to https://github.com/evant/kotlin-inject/issues/302 where it's not printing out the location as it should
2. The second error message is being triggered by a check in place making sure you don't declare conflicting scopes on the class and the class it's extending. Yeah I think it shouldn't fire if they are actually the same scope.
