what am I missing? how can I have a centralized baseline for the project?

[Artur Bosch]

Unfortunately we haven't figured out how to have a centralized baseline file across different gradle modules.
Something that works for Gradle but is also as generic to be included into detekt-api would be great.

[Artur Bosch]

An idea which just came up:
we could have a modularized baseline which have different sections for each gradle module like detekt-cli and just override detekt-cli when run ...

[Artur Bosch]

The generic part is tricky... we could add a --baseline [prefix:]path option which the gradle plugin could use to let detekt know which baseline part to override...

[sanogueralorenzo]

The last idea would be amazing, would allow having the above without the overhead of every module

[sanogueralorenzo]

Current solution to the above is to not have any baselines 😄 unfortunately the project I'm working in is big and has over 500 issues in the baselines

Maybe we can relax the most common issues and manually fix the remaining ones?

What do you suggest?

[Artur Bosch]

What about having a top level custom detekt task which runs in CI and has the baseline.
module based detekt tasks could be used for quick single module feedback without the baseline and without breaking the build showing all errors.
See our gradle file on how we setup'ed detektAll task 🙂
