I run Detekt in a multimodule project and while the detekt { configuration is applied to all sub projects (in the main build.gradle file)

subprojects {
    apply plugin: "io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt"
    detekt {
        debug = false
        parallel = true
        config.setFrom("${rootProject.projectDir}/default-detekt-config.yml")
        baseline = file("${rootProject.projectDir}/detekt-baseline.xml")
        buildUponDefaultConfig = true
        allRules = false
    }
}

the task.detekt configuration is ignored by sub projects:

tasks.detekt.configure {
    exclude("**/test/**")
    reports {
        html.required.set(true)

How can I configure the Detekt task to be applied to all Gradle modules? The documentation has examples showing the task configuration included in the detekt closure/lambda but that seems to be deprecated (e.g. I get HTML report location set on detekt {} extension will be ignored for detekt task.)

Can you open an issue regarding the outdated documentation? That should be fixed.

Regarding the tasks snippet. Is it inside the subprojects lambda?

no, if I add it to subprojects I get

Could not get unknown property 'detekt' for task set of type org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.DefaultTaskContainer.

I tried retrieving the task by name but that doesn't work either

hmm I tried different "flavors" or this and this actually seems to work

tasks.withType(io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt.Detekt).configureEach {
