I'd like to move my custom Detekt configuration into a Gradle plugin in buildSrc later on, so at this point a detektPlugins(project("...")) configuration would no longer work anyways...

[Javier]

Add this to dependencies block inside build.gradle.kts (buildSrc)

implementation("io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt:detekt-gradle-plugin:$detekt")

[dead.fish]

Ah, I only applied detekt-api there, applying the plugin there should work?! Nice!

[dead.fish]

No, this didn't work unfortunately 😞 The custom ruleset is not found.

[Javier]

That implementation let you use detektPlugins in precompiled plugins

[Javier]

For example, this is my own plugin for detekt

[Javier]

It is in buildSrc

[Javier]

And I can apply it to the modules so

[Javier]

The filename for my detekt plugin is Detekt.gradle.kts

[dead.fish]

Hrm... weird, this doesn't look like a standard plugin (that has to be wrapped into a Plugin<Project> derived class) at all, but if this works for you, well.

[dead.fish]

I worked around it for now by using

dependencies {
  val detektPlugins by configurations
  detektPlugins(files("$rootDir/buildSrc/build/libs/buildSrc.jar"))
}

[dead.fish]

Still haven't moved my Detekt configuration to buildSrc, but only have the additional rules there

[Javier]

It is a precompiled plugin

[Javier]

https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/custom_plugins.html#sec:precompiled_plugins

[Javier]

It is easier to use

Hi, we are doing the same at our repo with precompiled plugins and project dependencies as detektPlugins :
https://github.com/detekt/detekt/blob/master/buildSrc/src/main/kotlin/detekt.gradle.kts#L45

@Artur Bosch can you take a look to this issue? https://github.com/detekt/detekt/issues/2732

[dead.fish]

@Artur Bosch Sorry for the late reply. Actually, I kind of dislike of having more than buildSrc as build configuration source. I see however that Gradle provides no clean way to access the buildSrc module itself for this configuration, probably because of https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/2531
