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`: https://github.com/arturbosch/detekt/blob/4ea5873cde3e1dd95affd91e09094ee50679f71d/detekt-gradle-plugin/src/main/kotlin/io/gitlab/arturbosch/detekt/extensions/DetektExtension.kt#L29

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

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.
