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

[tapchicoma]

something like extensions.configure(KtlintExtension::class.java) { filter { exclude(..) }}

[Dariusz Kuc]

guess would have to conditionally check if ktlint is applied

[Dariusz Kuc]

but yeah probably should do that

[tapchicoma]

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 ?
