Hi folks 🙂
I have a question about how to define the import layout since 0.41.0.
Previously I had kotlin_imports_layout = idea in my .editorconfig , which is deprecated now.
If I change that to ij_kotlin_imports_layout = *,java.**,javax.**,kotlin.**,^ like suggested in the deprecation message, the linting with KTLint fails because of wrong import ordering. If I let ktlint format my source files it formats the imports alphabetically.

I'm using one of the gradle plugins (https://github.com/jlleitschuh/ktlint-gradle) mentioned in the README to integrate ktlint into my project.

Does anyone have any ideas? 🤔

@romtsn maybe you could help here?

[romtsn]

hey, could you post your imports list here? Or better open a github issue 🙂

[tapchicoma]

Probably this one was opened: https://github.com/JLLeitschuh/ktlint-gradle/issues/456 😅

[Mervyn McCreight]

Yeah I saw that one too 😅

Unfortunately I have another symptom - the behaviour described in the issue did not happen for me 🤔.

Maybe I can try to create a small sample project where I reproduce the issue I have.

[romtsn]

I have one assumption - if you use --android flag and you’ve defined the `ij_kotlin_imports_layout`only for some certain modules/paths, then it could be the reason you’re getting alphabetical order.

[romtsn]

but yeah, please try to have a reproducible sample, or just give some more info over a github issue

[Mervyn McCreight]

I think it was more of a Gradle cache problem. Should be more related to the gradle-plugin. Everything fine on KTLint side itself 👍

Thanks for the help 🙂

[tapchicoma]

yes, the issue in the plugin. Will fix for the next release

[tapchicoma]

most probably 9.4.0 will work fine with 0.41.0
