Can't build project with Android Studio 3.0 + DataBinding + Kotlin

android data-binding kotlin android-studio-3.0

I have a huge project with databinding, kotlin, dagger. I spent a few days trying to build it using several stackoverflow's solutions and decided to ask it personally.

I assume some of third party libraries uses databinding because adding this line doesn't help. 

kapt 'com.android.databinding:compiler:3.0.0'

Android Studio says:

'androidProcessor' dependencies won't be recognized as kapt annotation processors. Please change the configuration name to 'kapt' for these artifacts: 'com.android.databinding:compiler:3.0.0'.

What I've tried and it didn't help:

   kapt {
    generateStubs = true
}

in local.properties: kotlin.incremental=false

another SO solution didn't help: 

kapt ('com.android.databinding:compiler:3.0.0'){
        force = true
    }

my build.gradle

                standardOutput = stdout

            def branch = stdout.toString().trim()

I just tried with similar build.gradle settings in a new and fresh kotlin project and it builds. Unfortunately I couldn't use all your libs and your exact setting but maybe it's just a matter of order. Here is my

build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

kapt {
    generateStubs = true
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "nice.fontaine.kottest"
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"

        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'

    }
}

    implementation 'org.jsoup:jsoup:1.10.3'
}

At least I can verify with this test that

kapt 'com.android.databinding:compiler:3.0.0'

is working for me. Maybe try it in a new project too and check if this works and then slowly apply your other libs one by one. Hope that gets you on track!
