Hello guys, how are you doing?

I updated detekt from 1.21.0 to Latest but I always get this error when trying to run it from CL:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:detekt'.
> Run failed with 3 invalid config properties.
        - Property 'formatting' is misspelled or does not exist.
        - Property 'libraries' is misspelled or does not exist.
        - Property 'ruleauthors' is misspelled or does not exist.

This is how detekt is setup here ATM (I created a separate gradle file for it):

apply plugin: 'io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt'

detekt {
    toolVersion = "$detektVersion"
    allRules = true
    autoCorrect = true
    buildUponDefaultConfig = true
    config = files("${rootProject.projectDir}/config/detekt/detekt.yml")
    parallel = true
    source = files(rootProject.projectDir)
    reports {
        xml.required.set(true)
        html.required.set(true)
        txt.required.set(true)
        sarif.required.set(true)
        md.required.set(true)
    }
}

I'm using the latest detekt.yml: https://github.com/detekt/detekt/tree/main/config/detekt

I've searched online but couldn't find anything helpful. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

That is happening as you’re including formatting, libraries and ruleauthors in your config, but you’re not including them with detektPlugins so the logic of the rule is missing.

Either you remove those keys from your config, or you add 3 detektPlugins dependencies

[Caio Costa]

I see. Searching for it, isn't the detektPlugins's repo archived/not active?

[Caio Costa]

I think I got it:

I put this dependency: detektPlugins "io.gitlab.arturbosch.detektdetekt formatting$detektVersion"

But when I tried to apply the same logic to the remaining 2:

detektPlugins "io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt:detekt-libraries:$detektVersion"
detektPlugins "io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt:detekt-ruleauthors:$detektVersion"

I got this error:

I'll see if there's some problem related to versioning or something. But thanks for your help pal. At least now it's a different error message 🦜

[Caio Costa]

Got it working guys 🍾

If you have the same error in the future, take a look at this site to check if your dependency naming is correct: https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/io/gitlab/arturbosch/detekt/

In my case, those are the correct names:

I put at the end of the dependencies{} block

"$detektVersion" here is equivalent to "1.23.0-RC2"

//detekt Plugins
detektPlugins "io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt:detekt-formatting:$detektVersion"

detektPlugins "io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt:detekt-rules-libraries:$detektVersion"

detektPlugins "io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt:detekt-rules-ruleauthors:$detektVersion"

I could not find this information on the detekt website so maybe in the future the maker of this awesome library may add this info to it.

Have a great weekend folks 👍

And the link you share is not the last config of detekt. The cli and the gradle plugin have ways to generate a default configuration. That's the way to get the latest config.

[Brais Gabin]

That link shows how detekt configures detekt. And this project has a lot of special configurations. I don't think it is a good start point

[Caio Costa]

Interesting. Thanks for the info, @Brais Gabin 👍
