I use --auto-correct a lot, but -ac is supposed to work also, but it doesn't. Just me? Worth filing a bug?

That is very weird. I just checked by adding a unit test and it works fine for 1.x and on main. What exactly are you passing as parameter?

[Colton Idle]

I'm just running ./gradlew detekt -ac which doesn't work, while ./gradlew detekt --auto-correct does work. Let me get a response of what -ac actually responds with (on mobile right now)

but IIRC it essentially just shows the man/help page

Ah, you are using gradle. I only checked the cli. With the gradle plugin, only --auto-correct is supported. https://detekt.dev/docs/gettingstarted/gradle/#available-plugin-tasks

OOOH interesting. worth filing a feature request?

[ephemient]

not possible, gradle only supports long options through https://docs.gradle.org/current/javadoc/org/gradle/api/tasks/options/Option.html

oooh. TIL. thanks everyone!
