Hi everybody! What’s the way to overwrite the detekt autocorrect flag (defined in detekt block in the gradle file) with a command line gradle task parameter?
I checked the docs but I didn’t find how. I’ve also tried ./gradlew detekt -Pauto-correct=true and ./gradlew detekt -PautoCorrect=true along with some other similar commands but none of them worked.

I think that this it’s not supported. Could you create an issue exaplaining your use case in the repo? I think that we should support it

☝️ That’s not supported out of the box as we don’t annotate with @Option our gradle tasks.

What you can do is create your own property called autoCorrect and then invoke your command with -PautoCorrect=… . But that’s part of the Gradle Property API and is unrelated to detekt
