Hello. I am unable to try the detekt compiler plugin (1.23), as adding the plugin then enabling it with enableCompilerPlugin = true in detekt { ... } tells me "Val cannot be reassigned" and "The boolean literal does not conform to the expected type Property<Boolean>". I am at a complete loss here, does anyone have a pointer to solve this?

Gradle properties; use .set(true)

That solved it, thank you! The documentation is in need of an update I guess 🙂

[Chris Lee]

yea, the docs are likely for the Gradle Groovy DSL and don’t show the Kotlin equivalent. Thankfully upcoming Gradle versions add in the ability to override the = operator to get the same syntax (incubating in Gradle 8.1).

Ideally the docs are for Gradle 8.1 Kotlin DSL, that’s why they use the = We can change it to .set() if that allows for more compatibilities

[Chris Lee]

It would be helpful to use set as that covers the vast percentage of Gradle versions/configurations. In 8.1 = is not enabled by default, requiring an extra setting to enable it (it’s unsafe/incubating), and there are a small number of known issues with it (IDE support etc).

I'm indeed using Kotlin DSL with Gradle 8.1.1 - that's exactly where the issue is 🙂
