I’ve written a custom ktlint rule but when I try to run it with gradle using the ktlint plugin I get the following

Too many element types registered. Out of (short) range. Most of element types (14991) were registered for 'Language: kotlin'

I’m completely stuck on this, it works fine if I run the ktlint binary with the jar file directly, seems like its something to do with the gradle plugin?

ok so this was some weird plugin caching problem. I could see that when I made changes to my custom plugin they weren’t being used by the ktlintCheck task, I then ran it with the --info flag and it somehow cleaned things up
