Error injecting com.gwtplatform.dispatch.rest.client.ActionMetadataProvider

Question

I have the following problem:

12:45:47.505 [ERROR] [cGui] Error injecting com.gwtplatform.dispatch.rest.client.ActionMetadataProvider: Unable to create or inherit binding: No @Inject or default constructor found for com.gwtplatform.dispatch.rest.client.ActionMetadataProvider
Path to required node:

com.gwtplatform.dispatch.rest.client.RestRequestBuilderFactory   [com.gwtplatform.dispatch.rest.client.gin.RestDispatchAsyncModule.configureDispatch(RestDispatchAsyncModule.java:100)]
->; com.gwtplatform.dispatch.rest.client.DefaultRestRequestBuilderFactory [com.gwtplatform.dispatch.rest.client.gin.RestDispatchAsyncModule.configureDispatch(RestDispatchAsyncModule.java:100)]
->; com.gwtplatform.dispatch.rest.client.ActionMetadataProvider [@Inject constructor of com.gwtplatform.dispatch.rest.client.DefaultRestRequestBuilderFactory]

ClientModule.java

public class ClientModule extends AbstractPresenterModule {

private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ClientModule.class.getName());

@Override
protected void configure() {
    logger.log(Level.INFO, "Installing Client Module dependencies");
    install(new DefaultModule());
    logger.log(Level.INFO, "DefaultModule installed");
    install(new SecurityModule());
    logger.log(Level.INFO, "SecurityModule installed");
    install(new ApplicationModule());
    logger.log(Level.INFO, "ApplicationModule installed");
    install(new RestDispatchAsyncModule());
    logger.log(Level.INFO, "RestDispatchAsyncModule installed");
    install(new RpcDispatchAsyncModule());
    logger.log(Level.INFO, "RpcDispatchAsyncModule installed");
    // DefaultPlaceManager Places
    bindConstant().annotatedWith(DefaultPlace.class).to(NameTokens.LOGIN);
    bindConstant().annotatedWith(ErrorPlace.class).to(NameTokens.ERROR);
    bindConstant().annotatedWith(UnauthorizedPlace.class).to(NameTokens.UNAUTHORIZED);
    bindConstant().annotatedWith(RestApplicationPath.class).to("/rest");
    }
}

The code is based on ArcBees carstore tag 1.3.1

My dependencies: pastebin.com

What have I tried:

I made sure every enum and DTO is serializable

Tried to fiddle around with gwt.xml

Googled a lot

I've been struggling with this for the past 5 hours.

If I have forgotten to attach some file, or did not give enough details please tell me. I will update this post accordingly.

In your gwt.xml, DispatchRest has to come before MvpWithEntryPoint. You should read the important notes here as all the gotchas are explained: https://github.com/ArcBees/GWTP/wiki/Rest-Dispatch#add-rest-dispatch-to-your-gwt-module

<!-- Other module inherits -->
<inherits name='com.gwtplatform.dispatch.rpc.DispatchRpc' />
<inherits name='com.gwtplatform.dispatch.rest.DispatchRest' />
<inherits name='com.gwtplatform.mvp.MvpWithEntryPoint' />
<inherits name="com.google.gwt.uibinder.GinUiBinder" />

<extend-configuration-property name="gin.ginjector.modules"
    value="*CENSORED*.client.gin.ClientModule" />

Also Dispatch is a deprecated module, so you should use DispatchRpc instead.
