Hi,
How can I include checking of xml files in detekt? I would like to apply to some rules on them. Can someone help me with this please?

[Csabi Szenczi]

i have applied the plugin at root level build.gradle.kts

detekt {
    source = files(rootProject.rootDir, "src")
}

tasks.withType<Detekt>().configureEach {
    setSource(files("src/main/res"))
    include("**/*.kt")
    include("**/*.kts")
    include("**/*.xml")
    include("**/**.xml")
    exclude("**/resources/**")
    exclude("**/build/**")
}

As you can see I have tried it with redundancy in hope that I will get lucky with one of the syntaxes but didn't work with either of them

Hey 👋
I don't think it's doable as Detekt is mostly focused on Kotlin files. You won't be able to access the AST and do any inspection

Okay, it's alright, it would've been just some small extra anyway. thanks! 🙂
