Maybe a dup of b/368420773?

Android Gradle Plugin: 8.7.1

Could you try the latest canary, AGP 8.8.0-alpha09?

I just updated to Android Gradle Plugin: 8.7.2 and the bug is fixed.

I spoke too soon. The bug appears gone when I use a different computer, but that is only because the lint check is disabled on it. The computer with the false positive is a new cloning of my github project which apparently has the lint check enabled. The AGP 8.8.0-alpha09 plugin will not work on ladybug, and I'm too busy to switch to a canary build of android studio just to fix a false positive lint check, sorry.

I just tried running lint on two more of my computers, one which also has a fresh clone of the github project, and one which has an "ancient" (but up to date) clone of the project -- the two computers have very different Settings -> Editor -> Inspections choices. The old clones do not have this lint check anywhere in their choices, whereas new clones do. Very odd indeed. (I have .idea/ in my .gitignore BTW).

I understand that it's not trivial to change AGP version; sorry for suggesting that first.

Actually, there is a better way to test: android.experimental.lint.version=8.8.0-alpha09 which will just change the Lint version.

I decided it was easier to download Android Studio Ladybug Feature Drop | 2024.2.2 Canary 9 than to figure out how to use a different version of lint (a search of stackoverflow suggests this is impossible for what that is worth). Using AGP 8.8.0-alpha09 and gradle-8.10.2-bin.zip on Canary the same error occurs. It looks like it is caused by the K2 compiler mode, because the Inspections options for this lint check does not appear until you enble K2 mode (nor does the false positive error).

Thank you for trying the latest canary version of Studio and AGP, I really appreciate that.

I rather confirmed that, with that canary (AGP 8.8.0-alpha09), b/368420773 is really fixed, with the attached reproduction project there. (Note that that issue is also related to K2 mode.)

I also tried altering problematic produceState call with conditional assignment to value, which also works fine. I tried a similar code pattern on compose runtime ProduceStateDetector and its tests, but no luck.

Then... my next guess is whether it is from an old compose runtime, assuming this might be a dup of b/349411310. May I ask which version(s) of Compose runtime (and related libraries) you're using?

The compose runtime is from the androidx-compose-bom = "2024.10.01", which is 1.7.5, which is the latest stable version according to its webpage. The project uses libs.versions.toml and gradle assures me that all the versions are up to date (for what that is worth - sometimes I have to manually update versions). I enclose the libs.versions.toml the project uses. The project is my copy of the "Crane" sample app which I have verbosely commented and try to keep up to date with the latest libraries and APIs. The source code involved is in my github repo in the Crane project:

https://github.com/markgray/Composables

The file the false positive is in is:

Crane/app/src/main/java/androidx/compose/samples/crane/details/DetailsActivity.kt

Thank you again for sharing all the details!

With the repo, I can reproduce the issue:

$ ./gradlew lint
> Task :app:lintDebug FAILED
Lint found 1 errors, 8 warnings. First failure:

.../Composables/Crane/app/src/main/java/androidx/compose/samples/crane/details/DetailsActivity.kt:243: Error: produceState calls should assign value inside the producer lambda [ProduceStateDoesNotAssignValue from androidx.compose.runtime]
    val uiState: DetailsScreenUiState by produceState(
                                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Explanation for issues of type "ProduceStateDoesNotAssignValue":
   produceState returns an observable State using values assigned inside the
   producer lambda. If the lambda never assigns (i.e value = foo), then the
   State will never change. Make sure to assign a value when the source you
   are producing values from changes / emits a new value. For sample usage see
   the produceState documentation.

which is a build error in CLI. That is indeed a dup of b/368420773, and if I updated AGP/gradle:

build went well.

However, K2 UAST's IDE path still has an issue on binary resolution for @Composable. :( That part is a dup of b/360354551. Alas, even after 2024.3 merge, it's still reproducible as attached screenshot.

Filed https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-31887

Aha! I see the problem. I always use the "Problems" tool window of the IDE to run lint. When I use "./gradlew lint" I get the same results as you do. Apparently the IDE is running lint wrong, feeding lint mangled code, misinterpreting lint's results, or using cached values from AGP 8.7.2 instead of using 8.8.0-alpha09 values. (But these are just guesses of course.)

The issue is the Kotlin compiler front end; when lint within AGP, we have to bundle and invoke our own copy of the Kotlin compiler front end. But when we run inside the IDE, we directly reuse the one from the Kotlin plugin; that way we don't have to re-analyze your code etc, so it's more performant. But that means that lint running in the IDE and lint running from AGP use potentially different versions of the front end.

Since CLI-side fix is already there, it's relatively easy(?) to port that to IDE-side, and actually ready; see attached screenshot.

Any chance you can create a repro project hitting the MissingValueException? I wasn't able to repro it on my side previously.

Apologies, this would not be something I would have the chance to do with my current workload.

I did note though, that when swapping freeCompilerArgs.append/appendAll for freeCompilerArgs.add/addAll the failure re-emerged. This is of interest to me since append* gets removed in Gradle 8.8: https://docs.gradle.org/8.8/userguide/upgrading_version_8.html#changes_to_collection_properties

Update:

The issue did lie in our usage of freeCompilerArgs. Traced the issue back to the following format in root build.gradle.kts. This setup had worked prior to upgrading to 2.0.0. Was able to work around the issue once I was aware of what caused it.

subprojects {
    tasks.withType<org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile>().configureEach {
        compilerOptions {
            freeCompilerArgs.add(*any arg here*)
        }
    }
}

You should be able to reproduce now with this setup in any project.

Thanks for the update! I filed Issue 376481867 to track.
