Hi folks. I wanted to work on this issue for IDEA plug-in to enable support of multiple baselines for multi-modular projects, but have some trouble understanding how to better implement this.
As far as I understand Detekt CLI, which is being invoked from the plug-in, supports only one baseline file.
My idea was to use BaselineProvider to load all baselines from multiple modules, collect all findings and manually suppressed issues into two single sets and create new baseline from them, encapsulating all issues from individual files into one. When I would have stored this file somewhere locally and use it to pass to Detekt CLI.

But now I see that there is an intention to add a new finding into baseline. In current scenario it should modify provided baseline file. But as we supposed to have multiple config files it’s a question, which config file to update.

Any idea about this?

I feel this is underlying discussion for Detekt core.

Like the IntelliJ plugin should not add extra logic to the Baseline processing and should just be a wrapper around the CLI apis.

Yeah, but current design of CLI have no idea about modules.
So, it’s a bit complicated

We would need to extend the CLI to accept more than one baseline file
