has anyone noticed issues with jvmTarget when attempting to upgrade to 1.20.0? when I upgrade the version, now all my detekt tasks fail with Invalid value passed to --jvm-target I've tried adding

tasks.withType(Detekt).configureEach {
    jvmTarget = "1.8"
}

and that fails with Could not get unknown property 'Detekt'

Are you specifying a toolsVersion?

i am not

What version of Kotlin are you using?

[dix]

1.5.31

i see that is not recommended for detekt 1.20 but 1.20.0-RC2 worked with this kotlin version; so i'm surprised

I solved this for myself by updating to 1.6.20 but that was because I was explicitly setting jvmTarget to 17.

I'm not as familiar with the groovy DSL, so I don't know why you're getting that error, but you're probably heading in the right direction by trying to set jvmTarget
