Does the detekt plugin for Android Studio work with custom rules, and specifically for rules using type resolution? My rule works when I do `./gradlew detektMain` but I don't see any live errors while coding.

You can add your custom rule in the `plugin jars`

With the `Plugin jars` path set up, I can now see highlighting from my custom rule that doesn't require type resolution, but not the one which does require it :thinking_face:

In my `detekt.yml`
```# By default detekt does not know about your new properties. Therefore we need to mention them in the configuration
#  under config&gt;excludes. (<https://detekt.github.io/detekt/extensions.html>)
config:
  validation: true
  excludes: "custom-proj-rules.*,custom-proj-rules&gt;.*&gt;.*"

custom-proj-rules:
  active: true
  InvalidExpressionFunction:
    active: true
    includes: [ '**/main/**' ]
  KotlinObjectJavaSerialization:
    active: true
    includes: ['**/main/**']```
In my `detekt.xml` config file
```&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;project version="4"&gt;
  &lt;component name="DetektProjectConfiguration"&gt;
    &lt;enableDetekt&gt;true&lt;/enableDetekt&gt;
    &lt;enableFormatting&gt;true&lt;/enableFormatting&gt;
    &lt;treatAsError&gt;true&lt;/treatAsError&gt;
    &lt;configPaths&gt;$PROJECT_DIR$/config/detekt/detekt.yml&lt;/configPaths&gt;
    &lt;pluginPaths&gt;$PROJECT_DIR$/detekt-rules/build/libs/detekt-rules.jar&lt;/pluginPaths&gt;
  &lt;/component&gt;
&lt;/project&gt;```

&gt;  On a separate note, `active: false` on a specific custom rule doesn’t seem to be respected. e.g. when I set my config to
That could be a bug.
Are you able to reproduce it also with Detekt gradle plugin or is it just happening inside IntelliJ?

As for the type resolution: yes I’m afraid they don’t work in IntelliJ <https://github.com/detekt/detekt-intellij-plugin/issues/126>

I found when I changed my config, I needed to restart Android Studio to see the plugin use it.  That was several versions ago though.

<@U01D56B2A2H> Is this related? If not can you open another thread/issue?

I was just commented on why the `active:false` might not have worked.

If I run `./gradlew detek` I can reproduce it that way. The IDE plugin seems to be very erratic as to whether it shows the detekt errors. I'm not sure if I need to rebuild or clear cache after each change to `detekt.yml`?

I'm unsure about the IntelliJ plugin. But if you're able to reproduce from the Gradle tasks, then it's definitely a bug in detekt.

Also I read in an issue that `includes: [ '**/main/**' ]` is required, but it doesn't appear to be from my testing. I'm assuming that was changed?

Which issue?
