hello! I'm writing a custom Gradle plugin that generates source files and was wondering if there is a way I could automatically exclude them from ktlint check?, e.g. I'm using

org.jlleitschuh.gradle.ktlint

which automatically applies the linter against all source sets. Currently I'm manually configuring

ktlint

task to filter out

generated

sources but was wondering whether there is some better way?

tasks {
    ktlint {
        filter {
            exclude("**/generated/**")
        }
    }
}

e.g. above approach is not ideal as anyone using the plugin will have to add that configuration as well

you could configure this via your plugin

guess would have to conditionally check if ktlint is applied

you could wrap it in

plugins.withId("org.jlleitschuh.gradle.ktlint") { // configure extension here }

Hmm in order to configure the extension I'd have to add it to plugin dependencies. Unsure if I want to do it

You could certainly make it a compileOnly dependency ?
