is there a way to globally exclude a directory? we have some generated code checked in (yes… we know). And want to exclude that directory from contributing to score and from being formatted automatically.

I make my code generators emit

@file:Suppress("ALL")

yeah, was also looking at that. would need to configure the apollo GQL generator to do that

Maybe you could put the generated code in it’s own Source Set? And exclude it by the path?

I was able to do it using that link above like this:

tasks.withType(io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt.Detekt).configureEach {
    exclude("com/example/graphql/client/**")
}

It is documented here https://detekt.dev/gradle.html#leveraging-gradles-sourcetask---excluding-and-including-source-files and if baseline is used, we also need to configure
