Hi, I’m having trouble making detect autoformat too long lines. Here’s my config:

build:
  maxIssues: 0
  excludeCorrectable: false

config:
  validation: true
  warningsAsErrors: false

processors:
  active: true

comments:
  active: true
  UndocumentedPublicClass:
    active: true
    excludes: [ '**/test/**', '**/integrationTest/**', '**/systemTest/**', '*Test' ]
    searchInNestedClass: true
    searchInInnerClass: true
    searchInInnerObject: true
    searchInInnerInterface: true
  UndocumentedPublicFunction:
    active: true
    excludes: [ '**/test/**', '**/integrationTest/**', '**/systemTest/**', '*Test' ]
  UndocumentedPublicProperty:
    active: true
    excludes: [ '**/test/**', '**/integrationTest/**', '**/systemTest/**', '*Test' ]

formatting:
  active: true
  autoCorrect: true
  MaximumLineLength:
    active: true
    autoCorrect: true
    maxLineLength: 120
    ignoreBackTickedIdentifier: true

configuration:

detekt {
    toolVersion = "1.18.1"
    config = files("config/detekt/detekt.yml")
    buildUponDefaultConfig = true
    autoCorrect = true
    debug = true
}

I have a line longer than 120 chars and doesn’t get formatted correctly when I run gradle detekt . What do I miss here?

Did you add formatting rules set to include ktlint?

I did:

dependencies {
    ...
        detektPlugins("io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt:detekt-formatting:1.18.1")
    ...
}

also if I turn on debug, I cannot see any failed attempt on trying to run autocorrect (and fail)

[chao]

Actually, by checking ktlint’s code, it appears that this rule does not support autoCorrect https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint/blob/master/ktlint-ruleset-standard/src/main/kotlin/com/pinterest/ktlint/ruleset/standard/MaxLineLengthRule.kt

[chao]

Line 88 - emit(offset, "Exceeded max line length ($maxLineLength)", false), the false is for canBeAutoCorrected
