Hi!
I'm setting up detekt in my project where I need to include app flavors sources directories. All configurations I apply to detekt tasks, but I didn't find any way to configure sources via task. So I configure sources through the DetektExtension. Is this the correct approach? Does detekt correctly merge settings from tasks and extension?

[Dzmitry]

Also can I just add android app sources to the detekt sources to analyse flavors code? Or do I need to explicitly call detekt<Variant> tasks?

[Brais Gabin]

It depends. detekt and detektDebug (for example) are different

[Brais Gabin]

detekt doesn't only checks the files without resolving types. the other tasks detekt with "surname" revolves types so way more rules run.

[Brais Gabin]

So, in general I recommend to use detektVariant.

Ok, then a few more questions:
1. Do you have plans to add more friendly tasks to run detekt? Imo it would be great to have detekt*WithTypes* task that run detekt against all source sets with type checks. Then detekt*WithoutTypes*, and finally detektAll that run both tasks above?
2. My initial question: is it right approach to configure detekt with combination of task and DetektExtension?
3. For some reason I have an error running detekt for specific KMP module with compose. If I directly run ./gradlew :module:detekt I face this problem, but if I run detekt for all modules (./gradlew detekt) there is no such problem. What I’m doing wrong?

An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'com.android.library', version: '8.0.2']
> Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.library'.
   > Accessing GradleBuildProject.Builder through AnalyticsConfiguratorService is not allowed after AnalyticsService is created.

And do the running all detekt*Variant* tasks for application module equals to running detekt with extra running type checking rules? Or do I need to run both?

[Dzmitry]

After reading a lot of articles, documentation and plans concluded that currently I can use just detekt task, and after releasing detekt 2.0 with compiler plugin a lot of problems from message above would be resolved.

@Brais Gabin sorry, but still getting AnalyticsConfiguratorService error for modules with kotlin multiplatofrm. Though can’t generate baseline for this modules. Do you have any idea how to fix this?

[Brais Gabin]

No idea to be honest, maybe you can open a conversation in the detekt repo and see if you can get more help there.

[Brais Gabin]

About the plans. Yes, we want to improve our support to KMP. We welcome any contribution in that regard. It's ok to configure detekt with a mix, yes. The detektExtension will be use as default value on the tasks so you can override them

[Dzmitry]

Ok. Is there a sample project with a detekt and KMP? Or maybe I need to configure something differently for KMP?

[Brais Gabin]

I know that there are people out there with detekt configured on KMP projects so I would bet that some of them are open source

[Brais Gabin]

I would add that question outside this thread. Just ask for KMP projects using detekt. I assume that you will get some links

[Dzmitry]

Solved this problem. First problem was kotlin 1.9.10 and second — detekt should be applied after configuring kotlin plugin
