I've installed detekt plugin into IDEA, how to use it?

[Jukka Siivonen]

You need to enable it, search project configuration for detekt

[Jukka Siivonen]

Just for heads up, unfortunately at least for me it only works with default config, there is an option to provide custom config but if I do that checks no longer work at all. I've reported this in plugins Github issues

[ValV]

Wow, I've enabled it. It just highlighted the whole class with yellow, 'cause of no doc-comments

[Jukka Siivonen]

Yes, it's using default rules

[ValV]

Ouch, I just want one simple thing -- check code style

[Jukka Siivonen]

Also the plugin has other pitfall, ktlint rules are in separate module called "detekt formatting" which cannot be configured for IDEA plugin currently :(

[ValV]

Why not just disable that documentation check by default? It's just impossible to work. In my case documentation is not needed yet, 'cause I'll explain code line-by-line in the report

[tapchicoma]

you can just activate ktlint rules without any plugin

[tapchicoma]

either via ktlint jar directly or via ktlint-gradle gradle plugin

[ValV]

@tapchicoma do you mean enabling it in Settings -> Editor -> Inspections? Are those ktlint rules?

[tapchicoma]

I mean by downloading ktlint: https://github.com/shyiko/ktlint/releases/download/0.29.0/ktlint and running either ./ktlint --apply-to-idea or ./ktlint --apply-to-idea-project.

Also this Gradle plugin: https://github.com/JLLeitschuh/ktlint-gradle adds tasks that do the same.

Got it, thanks
