In which task and step of the codelab can this issue be found? Object declarations : Step 2 object MarsApi { val retrofitService : MarsApiService by lazy { retrofit.create(MarsApiService::class.java) } }

Describe the problem Not able to declare use the property retorfit inside the object and it throws an error for the same, instead of creating the singleton object, the retrofit object can be created in the companion object with no errors I guess.

Like This : companion object { private const val BASE_URL = "https://android-kotlin-fun-mars-server.appspot.com"

    private val moshi = Moshi.Builder()
        .add(KotlinJsonAdapterFactory()).build()

    val retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
        .addConverterFactory(MoshiConverterFactory.create(moshi))
        .baseUrl(Companion.BASE_URL).build().create(MarsApiService::class.java)
}
