Inject is optional except if you are injecting something

Only required

String name

by

NamedDomainObjectContainer

, like below:

project.objects.newInstance(
    DockerComposeRunSettings,
    name
)

We were able to go really simple with containers, no factory (assuming that your

newInstance

is in a factory): We have `abstract class NexusRepository @Inject constructor(@Input val name: String) { ... bunch of other properties`, I just tried without

@Inject

and all the tests pass on Gradle 8.2.1.

OK, It looks like

project.objects.newInstance

requires

@Inject

. Thanks for the hint with

project.objects.domainObjectContainer()

without factory. It correctly creates an instance of my

DockerComposeRunSettings

class, without the

@Inject

annotation, and correctly passes the

String name

parameter.

Btw, is there a reason you're against @Inject? It signals to the reader that the instances of a class are created by a framework, not directly.

I have nothing against @Inject, except that when it is required and not set, the Gradle Build ends with an exception that

@Inject

should be set, instead of that it must be set.
