`@Provides` within a `companion object` not being injected

[johncara]

If I try to provide an object using the following code; Dagger works, but Reflect doesn't:

@Module
interface MyModule {

    companion object {
        @Provides
        fun providesString(): String = "Hello"
    }
}

Same is true if MyModule is a class or an abstract class.

Perhaps this is covered by what's described in this limitation? https://github.com/JakeWharton/dagger-reflect#abstract-classes

This seems related to https://github.com/JakeWharton/dagger-reflect/issues/185.

You can add @JvmStatic to providesString in the meanwhile for dagger reflect to work.

Looks like the same thing alright, thanks for the link and workaround.
