AutoValue in domain module : Cannot resolve symbol generated AutoValue_Foo

[SeanBlahovici]

I am trying to use AutoValue in the domain module. Here is the AutoValue class data implementation :

import com.google.auto.value.AutoValue;
import org.jetbrains.annotations.Nullable;
import java.util.Date;

@AutoValue
public abstract class Trip {
public abstract int id();
public abstract String name();
public abstract int totalDistance();
@Nullable public abstract Date startDate();
@Nullable public abstract Date endDate();

public static Builder builder() {
    return new AutoValue_Trip.Builder().totalDistance(0);
}

@AutoValue.Builder
public abstract static class Builder {
        public abstract Builder id(int id);
        public abstract Builder name(String name);
        public abstract Builder totalDistance(int totalDistance);
        public abstract Builder startDate(Date startDate);
        public abstract Builder endDate(Date endDate);
        public abstract Trip build();
    }
}

Android Studio cannot find the generated AutoValue_Trip class, so it marks it as an error however, the project builds and runs just fine.

Here is my module's build.gradle file

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'me.tatarka:gradle-retrolambda:3.2.3'
        classpath "net.ltgt.gradle:gradle-apt-plugin:0.12"
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: "net.ltgt.apt"
apply plugin: 'me.tatarka.retrolambda'

//noinspection GroovyUnusedAssignment
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
//noinspection GroovyUnusedAssignment
targetCompatibility = 1.8

configurations {
    provided
}

sourceSets {
    main {
        compileClasspath += configurations.provided
    }
}

dependencies {
    def domainDependencies = rootProject.ext.domainDependencies
    def domainTestDependencies = rootProject.ext.domainTestDependencies

    apt domainDependencies.autoValue
    compileOnly domainDependencies.autoValue

    provided domainDependencies.javaxAnnotation

    compile domainDependencies.javaxInject
    compile domainDependencies.rxJava
    compile domainDependencies.arrow

    testCompile domainTestDependencies.junit
    testCompile domainTestDependencies.mockito
    testCompile domainTestDependencies.assertj
}

I have tried using a sourceSet as follows to add the generated build files and folders to the source path:

main {
    java {
        srcDirs += 'src/../build/generated'
    }
}

But then I was getting compileJava errors.

Has anyone ran into this issue and how did you correct it? Additional info will be provided if necessary.

I've run in to this problem and have asked around and the general consensus is that you just try and ignore it. I, nor anyone I talked to, could find a good solution.
