I have trouble with non-working excludes, I've found several related answers in this chat, but they all are fixed by including withType in subprojects while I already have this:

subprojects {
  apply plugin: "io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt"
  detekt { ... }

  tasks.withType(io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt.Detekt).configureEach {
    exclude("**/entity/generated/**")
  }
}

And yet the file with path like this:

module/src/main/kotlin/data/network/entity/generated/AmountModel.kt:34:3

ends up being checked by detekt.

Any hints on what I did wrong? Version is 1.18.1

Your setup looks correct to me. I’m not sure about the **/entity/generated/** string though

I tried changing it to **/generated/** but the errors are still there ...

For context: early on we had a root-level detekt task which had input from rootProject.files.

But now I want to enable type resolution, so I'm moving to a per-project configuration.

Prior to this move, those patterns were correctly excluded. But now, after moving everything into subprojects, they somehow don't work, not sure why...

Though we also have **/build/** pattern and it seems to work... strange.

If I remember correctly the exclude in gradle is ignored if you use type solving. If you use the regular detekt it should work.

So this is probably a bug. You can fill a bug so we can decide what to do with it.

I see, yes, this manifested only when I started using type resolution

[dimsuz]

Before I fell asleep yesterday, I had a thought that maybe this is somehow caused by the fact that

tasks.withType<com....Detect> { exclude(...) }

while type resolution has tasks like detektMain, detektDebug , etc
