Has anybody been able to get detekt to check gradle build files? What about the buildSrc directory? Ideally from within Gradle.

[ephemient]

yeah, just add a custom Detekt task for them

[ephemient]

tasks.register<Detekt>("detektKotlinScripts") {
    group = VERIFICATION_GROUP
    description = "Run detekt analysis for Kotlin scripts"
    source(files().apply { from(layout.projectDirectory.asFileTree.matching { include("*.kts") }) })
}
tasks.register("detektAll") { dependsOn(tasks.withType<Detekt>()) }
tasks.check { dependsOn(tasks.withType<Detekt>()) }

or whatever makes sense for your usage
