Changed behaviour in Guice 7

[cdietrich]

the following thing is working in guice up to 6, but is not in 7

public class ADemo {
	
	public static final String CYCLIC_LINKING_DECTECTION_COUNTER_LIMIT = "CYCLIC_LINKING_DECTECTION_COUNTER_LIMIT";
	
	@Named(CYCLIC_LINKING_DECTECTION_COUNTER_LIMIT)
	@Inject(optional=true)
	protected int cyclicLinkingDectectionCounterLimit = 100;
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Injector i = Guice.createInjector(new AbstractModule() {
			@Override
			public void configure() {
				super.configure();
				binder().bindConstant().annotatedWith(Names.named(CYCLIC_LINKING_DECTECTION_COUNTER_LIMIT)).to(0);
			}
		});
		ADemo demo = i.getInstance(ADemo.class);
		System.out.println(demo.cyclicLinkingDectectionCounterLimit); // should print 0
	}

}

is this an intentional change?

What imports do you use ?

[cdietrich]

right. i overlooked a javax named. will test again when i replaced these ones too

[cdietrich]

using import jakarta.inject.Named; indeed helps

Hey @cdietrich , letting you know since you may be targeting Guice 7.0.0, about the new Micronaut Guice project, that depending on your usecase could be a useful replacement: micronaut-projects/micronaut-guice#9
