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

:point_up: 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
