I just found a line on this page (<https://arturbosch.github.io/detekt/howto-buildupondefaultconfig.html>) that seems to have some more info:

&gt; Make sure to specify the `input` parameter or no sources are found and _detekt_ won’t run!
This seems to be partially true. It _does_ seem to run if you _don't_ have a separate config YAML file. I updated the input as per that page and it works well enough for now. Still confusing that it can run without it in some scenarios.

<@UAPFX53BN> thanks for noting down your troubleshooting process.
May I ask you to submit a PR, if you have ideas on how to improve detekt's documentation?

Hi <@U87RQEYLB>. My interpretation of things is that the documentation is actually fine (the info was there on the page very much related to what I was looking at - I was just skimming it too fast which is why it took so long to figure out my error. However, the functionality maybe doesn't quite match the documentation, so perhaps there's a bug in the implementation? I can log an issue for it

Mhhm, I'm not sure. The documentation is quite old. Maybe <@U0MDRD3RN> can lend a helping hand here.

For what it's worth, I have it working fine now. It's mostly just a little confusing why it sorta seemed to work when the documentation implies it shouldn't have.

I guess and not just the way that the docs imply, but that from a behavioral standpoint seem to break in the presence of a seemingly unrelated change (i.e. adding a `config`)
