Butterknife: Processor: Provider butterknife.compiler.ButterKnifeProcessor could not be instantiated:

[cbedoy]

Hello! I'm having this issue when I try to run my project, seems for Windows or Linux runs ok, but not for MacOs.

Error:Bad service configuration file, or exception thrown while constructing Processor object: javax.annotation.processing.Processor: Provider butterknife.compiler.ButterKnifeProcessor could not be instantiated: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.squareup.javapoet.CodeBlock.of(Ljava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/Object;)Lcom/squareup/javapoet/CodeBlock;

This is my gradle.file

This is happening because something is forcing Gradle to use an older version of JavaPoet than what ButterKnife requires. You can probably fix this by updating Dagger to the latest, or by explicitly specifying an annotationProcessor dependency on the latest version of JavaPoet.

In reality, though, this is a Gradle bug, and I would encourage you to report it to them. The fact that both Dagger and ButterKnife use JavaPoet as a dependency should mean that Gradle resolves the newer version of two, and not just the first version that's requested.

Great! it was a fast answer, I'll do it.
