Hey guys! I've been scouring through the docs and forums, and couldn't found a straightforward way to make ktlint ignore specfic files.
Can anyone help me shed a light on this? I'm using 0.36 and prefer not to update due to massive code debt that is introduced in newer versions.

You can specify files to format specifically and simply not include the ones you don't want it to format IIRC

[jlleitschuh]

Instead of specifying entire directories

[Lucas Mo]

Right

But I want to format the entire project, except for two files

[Lucas Mo]

They're in a specific package, so... if theres any way to put it as an "exception" it would work, too

[jlleitschuh]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know Ktlint-Gradle supports it using Gradle's exclusion patterns. Other than that, I honestly don't know

[Lucas Mo]

oh okay 😞

[Lucas Mo]

I appreciate it a lot, anyway. Didn't think I'd get a reply before monday haha

If it's just two files, you can add /* ktlint-disable */ at the top of the files

there's ways to disable specific rules via .editorconfig that can use file globs but I can't recall a way to disable every rule. see https://pinterest.github.io/ktlint/rules/configuration-ktlint/#disabled-rules
