Similar to the previous question...I do also have a multi-project build in Kotlin DSL; I'm looking for ways to apply the detekt plugin in the subprojects block. This is what I have so far: https://gist.github.com/x80486/52d5b8f1d584f90732e7d1881df423a7, but Gradle tells me that detekt is not recognizable. I would like to avoid to configure detekt in all subprojects, that's what I'm really trying to do. Anyone have done this before?

Because you’re dynamically applying the detekt plugin using apply, the Kotlin code for the build file doesn’t have the helper for the detekt extension available. You’ll have to replace the detekt { bit with an explicit reference to the class to configure, e.g. the<DetektExtension>().apply {

To expand on that: Gradle grabs the head of the build scripts and manually parses the plugins{} bit, and uses that to figure out which plugins to load and generates some “glue” for the Kotlin DSL - you can see this generated code for any project with sth like ./gradlew subproject:kotlinDslAccessorsReport — if you manually add the plugins block to a subproject and run that, you should be able to see what the implementation of the Project.detekt { } extension would be

I see what you meant...let me play with that! Thanks again! Still, detekt behaves strange, it reports the issues for every module in all modules 🤷‍♂️

The ./gradlew subproject:kotlinDslAccessorsReport is the thing to visualize that! 👌
