# detekt

I would like some assistance integrating Detekt in my Android project. I successfully generated my config file, but that’s all that is working. Both tasks detektBaseline and detekt finish successfully in 1 second and nothing else happens, even though I know for a fact that the code contains errors. The only way I had it working was by creating my own Gradle tasks, but I don’t want to do this if I don’t have to. I have this in my project-level Gradle:

plugins {
    id "io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt" version "1.6.0"
}

detekt {
    toolVersion = "1.6.0"

    config = files("$projectDir/config/detekt/detekt.yml")
    baseline = file("$projectDir/config/detekt/baseline.xml")
//    source = files("src/main/kotlin") // This does not work for some reasons (Could not set unknown property 'source' for object of type io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt.extensions.DetektExtension.)

    buildUponDefaultConfig = true
    parallel = true
    ignoreFailures = true

    reports {
        txt.enabled = false
        xml.enabled = false
        html {
            enabled = true
            destination = file("$projectDir/reports/detekt/report.html")
        }
    }
}

could you please confirm if you ran detektCheck ?

It seems that source is now called `input`:

detektCheck outputs Task 'detektCheck' not found in root project '...'. . My understanding was that it was replaced by simply detekt.

input instead of source seams to work

Hey @Luke were you able to find a solution to this? I'm trying to do a fresh setup but having no luck

[Cody Engel]

Actually I think I was able to make it run by using a previous setup I had in the past

[Cody Engel]

If you remove plugins and instead use `

classpath "io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt:detekt-gradle-plugin:${versions.detekt}"

Followed by apply plugin: "io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt"

It ends up running 🤷🏻‍♂️

I did make it work in the end. Unfortunately, I’m not sure which step made it work. I remember including ktlint, then it was working. And it was still working when I removed ktlint.
