Circular dependencies

[christophe...@gmail.com]

Is there any way to turn of the feature that resolves circular
dependencies?

At least for me it's easy to just inject stuff and after a while
things explode in a circular dependency that is hard to track down, I
still have a hard time tracking it down even with the nice detailed
exception. I think it would be nice to be able to turn the feature off
to get an error directly up front when I try to inject a circular
dependency.

Thanks!

I'll just chime in here with nothing except my support: Hear hear!

perhaps you could open a feature request over at:

   http://code.google.com/p/google-guice/issues/list

then people could vote on it by starring the issue
(afaik it would only require a minor code change)

I can't stand this "feature" either. We do plan to disable it: http://code.google.com/p/google-guice/issues/detail?id=220&q=proxy&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20Extension
