I'm generating baseline for whole project using this custom task

task detektProjectBaseline(type: DetektCreateBaselineTask,  group: "detekt") {
    description = "Overrides current baseline."
    buildUponDefaultConfig = false
    ignoreFailures.set(true)
    parallel.set(true)
    setSource(files(rootDir))
    config.setFrom(files("$rootDir/quality/detekt/detekt-config.yml"))
    baseline.set(file("$rootDir/quality/detekt/baseline.xml"))
    include("**/*.kt")
    exclude("**/res/**", "**/build/**", "**/*.kts", "**/test/**", "**/androidTest/**")
    classpath.setFrom(project.configurations.getByName("detekt"))
}

and I have another task which runs on files that I'm passing through

-PinputFiles

gradle param

task detektChangedFiles(type: Detekt, group: "detekt") {
    description = "Runs over changed files."
    buildUponDefaultConfig = false
    ignoreFailures = false
    parallel = true
    if (project.hasProperty("inputFiles")) {
        setSource(files(inputFiles.split('\n')))
    }
    config.setFrom(file("$rootDir/quality/detekt/detekt-config.yml"))
    baseline.set(file("$rootDir/quality/detekt/baseline.xml"))
    include("**/*.kt")
    exclude("**/res/**", "**/build/**", "**/*.kts", "**/test/**", "**/androidTest/**")
    classpath.setFrom(project.configurations.getByName("detekt"))
    reports {
        xml {
            enabled = true
            destination = file("build/reports/detekt.xml")
        }
        html {
            enabled = true
            destination = file("build/reports/detekt.html")
        }
    }
}

The problem is that after running detektChangedFiles I'm getting issues like UnnecessaryLet that my baseline doesn't contain for that file. Seems baseline generation task ignores some rules

I would suggest to entirely remove this line:

classpath.setFrom(project.configurations.getByName(“detekt”))

From both tasks. What is happening is that, for some reasons, the

detektChangedFiles

is running with type resolution while the former task is not.

I want to enable type resolution for android project with custom tasks and I found this https://github.com/detekt/detekt/issues/2259 thats why I've used

classpath.setFrom(project.configurations.getByName("detekt"))

That’s what is causing inconsistent results.

classpath.setFrom(project.configurations.getByName("detekt"))

will set the classpath to just the files in the

detekt

configuration, which is not enough to resolve all the types for your Android project (you’re missing out all the 3rd party dependencies). You should either: • Use the tasks that the Detekt Gradle Plugin is creating from you • Switch to don’t use type resolution at all (i.e. don’t pass an incomplete

classpath

).

ok ok, thanks @gammax 🙌 , I'll try with plugin tasks

If the plugin doesnt work for you let us know and we will try to address your use case

@gammax I used plugin tasks and it worked, thanks 👍

Awesome 🙌
