Hi folks, after updating to 1.20.0, I get this error when building:

Execution failed for task ':app:detekt'.
> Run failed with 1 invalid config property.
  	- Property 'formatting' is misspelled or does not exist.

If I take out the

formatting

section in the config (which is only setting

active: false)

, it works fine. Looking at the 1.20.0 release notes, there's a mention about something changing in how the formatting rules are configured, but there is no example, migration guide, nothing — only a link to a couple PRs with no documentation. I don't use the

formatting

plugin, so am I ok with just removing the corresponding section from the config? And how would it work if I actually wanted to use the plugin? I'm not super clear on this... do I need a separate config file? And if so, how do I associate it with the plugin?

Yup. Agree that this was maybe not super clear in the release notes. The actionable items for you would be to either: • Remove the

formatting

block from your config file • Add the

detekt-formatting

plugin We updated how the config is composed, allowing plugin to contribute to the final configuration file. What was happening for your practically is that you had keys that were not recognized.

Thanks for confirming, Nicola :)
