I seem to be stuck with adding custom rule set in my KMP project, not sure what I might be missing.

So I’ve got a build-logic custom Gradle module with various build conventions. In there I have a gradle plugin extension that applies and configures Detekt Gradle plugin (that works with existing rules). Now, I added my own custom rule set, following official guide, but the rule does not seem to be picked up, what am I missing?
1. create custom Detekt rule, say, MyRule
2. create custom rule set, say, MyRuleSetProvider that includes MyRule

package com.example

class MyRuleSetProvider : RuleSetProvider {
  override val ruleSetId: String = "MyRuleSet"

  override fun instance(config: Config): RuleSet {
    return RuleSet(
      id = ruleSetId,
      rules = listOf(
        MyRule(config)
      )
    )
  }
}

3. define build-logic/resources/META-INF/services/io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt.api.RuleSetProvider

com.example.MyRuleSetProvider

4. define detekt yml config build-logic/resources/config.yml

MyRuleSet:
  MyRule:
    active: true

I’m testing out to see if the rule gets evaluated by reporting dummy violation - which does not fail so I assume something is off in my configuration where the ruleset doesn’t get picked up

Added absolute config path

detekt {
        autoCorrect = false
        parallel = true
        config = files(
          rootProject.file("detekt/config.yml"), // built-in rules
          file("xyz.../build-logic/src/main/kotlin/resources/config.yml")
        )
        buildUponDefaultConfig = true
      }

now getting error:

Property 'MyRuleSet' is misspelled or does not exist

[Benoît Liessens]

Shouldn’t the path to the service location start with build-logic/src/main/resources/…?

[Kirill Zhukov]

oh, I thought it needed to start with a package id

You need a resources/META-INF/services/io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt.api.RuleSetProvider file which has as content the fully qualified name of your RuleSetProvider e.g. io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt.sample.extensions.SampleProvider.
