I was writing unit tests for my room db operations, everything was working great but, I decided to write and inject the DataBaseBuilder within TestAppModule using Hilt, but seems like I am getting the following error when i run the tests. I also created a custom HiltRunnerClass and used it in gradle as testInstrumentationRunner "com.rimapps.wisetest.HiltTestRunner" here is full error
error: [Hilt]
