Is there anyway to change the default severity to error for every check, without needing to explicitly set it for every ruleset?

Did you try to configure `warningsAsErrors = true` in the detekt yaml config file?

Thanks, but for some reason, that does not work for me. Severity is still reporting as `warning` in the XML report. (Using version 1.19.0)

Ah looks like that setting is just for meta warnings about the config file, not for actual detekt warnings

This was discussed in <https://github.com/detekt/detekt/discussions/3942> - Globally configure the severity wasn’t built
