Hilt not detecting dependencies despite #Provides and #Inject - kotlin

Question

I am practicing clean architecture in an app, so for this I divided the application in modules, App, data, domain. I have created the modules of the dependencies on the data module, where I have created the UseCasesModule. Such Module has been provided with the #Module tag and #Installin(SingletonComponent::class), so on the App module I have added as a module dependency the Domain and Data modules. But when I am trying to inject the UseCase on the ViewModel I get the following error
`
com.example.usecases.GetUserByPersonaNameUseCase cannot be provided without an #Inject constructor or an #Provides-annotated method.
com.example.usecases.GetUserByPersonaNameUseCase is injected at
com.example.dota2stats.di.FactoryModule.providesHomeViewModelFactory(getUserByPersonaNameUseCase)`
This is not my first time with Hilt, so I know that I have to add the #Provides on the method that will provide the dependency, but right now is not working, I have restarted the app plenty of times. How can I solve this? Here my code
Here is the dependency
#Module
#InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
class UseCasesModule {
#Singleton
#Provides
fun providesGetUserByPersonaNameUseCase(repository: Repository): GetUserByPersonaNameUseCase {
return GetUserByPersonaNameUseCase(repository)
}
}
Here the ViewModel where I am trying to inject it
class HomeViewModel (private val getUserByPersonaNameUseCase: GetUserByPersonaNameUseCase) : BaseViewModel() {
override fun handleAction(action: Action): Flow<State> {
TODO("Not yet implemented")
}
}
I have tried by adding the #Inject constructor tag like this but still no results
class HomeViewModel #Inject constructor(private val getUserByPersonaNameUseCase: GetUserByPersonaNameUseCase) : BaseViewModel() {
override fun handleAction(action: Action): Flow<State> {
TODO("Not yet implemented")
}
}
Here the ViewModelFactory
class HomeViewModelFactory #Inject constructor(private val getUserByPersonaNameUseCase: GetUserByPersonaNameUseCase) :
ViewModelProvider.Factory {
override fun <T : ViewModel> create(modelClass: Class<T>): T {
return HomeViewModel(getUserByPersonaNameUseCase) as T
}
}
And here is how I am trying to use it
#AndroidEntryPoint
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
#Inject
lateinit var homeViewModelFactory: HomeViewModelFactory
private lateinit var homeViewModel: HomeViewModel
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
homeViewModel = ViewModelProvider(this, homeViewModelFactory)[HomeViewModel::class.java]
}
}

Did you try to annotate the ViewModel with #HiltViewModel?
#HiltViewModel
class HomeViewModel #Inject constructor(private val getUserByPersonaNameUseCase: GetUserByPersonaNameUseCase) : BaseViewModel() {
override fun handleAction(action: Action): Flow<State> {
TODO("Not yet implemented")
}
}
