Hi folks. This is odd. I have Detekt setup on a moderately sized app. I have baseline files I generated a few weeks ago.

• If I run gradlew detekt, it reports no errors.
• If i run gradlew detektBaseline, it regenerates my baseline files and both adds and removes entries. This implies there are errors according to baseline, but not to the main checker.
• If I delete all of the items in one baseline file and rerun detekt, it reports no issues. But running detektBaseline did not remove any lines from that file, so baseline thinks they’re still issues.
• If I then rerun detektBaseline, it re-adds the lines I just removed to the baseline file.
It’s… like detekt is working in an entirely different world from baseline. Can anyone explain what’s going on?

I imagine that your configuration on the Detekt task and your configuration in the baseline task are different. For that reason they find different things.

Why would that be?

[Brais Gabin]

Well... I imagine because your detekt configuration is like that. I don't know. I'm general what you are reflecting is what should happen. And in all my projects it works like that.

[Larry Garfield]

I have only one detekt.yml in the whole project.

🤔 Interesting. Do you have a reproducer? What you are talking about shouldn't
