I had detekt-rules as a gradle sub-project, and then I moved them to a separate jar.
This jar is published in our local maven repository and added as detektPlugins("path:to:artifact") .

Gradle sync is finished OK, jar is downloaded and used, but when I run the 'detekt' task it prints an error that detekt-config.yml contains an unknown property myrulesetname .

I have rechecked that this published jar has services/path.to.ruleset.Ruleset file.

What can go wrong? Do I need to add something else to this jar?

Note: As of version 1.2.0 detekt now verifies if all configured properties actually exist in a configuration created by --generate-config. This means that by default detekt does not know about your new properties. Therefore we need to mention them in the configuration under config>excludes:

config:
  validation: true
  # 1. exclude rule set 'sample' and all its nested members
  # 2. exclude every property in every rule under the rule set 'sample'
  excludes: "sample.*,sample>.*>.*"

https://detekt.github.io/detekt/extensions.html you need to exclude your custom rule from the config

something like:

excludes: "your-ruleset-name.*"

I see! Thank you, will take note of that.

As for the error above, I found it was mine: I did src/main/resources/services/... instead of src/main/resources/META-INF/services . Ooops
