Does anyone use ktfmt with spotless?

https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/blob/main/plugin-gradle/README.md#ktfmt

I'm curious if anyone knows a way to just use latest ktfmt instead of updating the string manually in this config block

[Javier]

Yes

[Javier]

wops, I didnt see your question

[Javier]

I am using renovate/dependabot to upgrade the version of ktfmt

[Javier]

And I pass it to spotless

[Javier]

because the ktfmt artifact is in maven central, you can have it without adding it as dependency only to get the version with those tools

[Colton Idle]

Interesting. I use dependabot too and it updates spotless but not ktfmt

[Javier]

you need to add the artifact

[Javier]

"com.facebook:ktfmt$ktfmtVersion"

[Colton Idle]

plugins {
id("com.diffplug.spotless") version "5.15.1"
id("com.facebook:ktfmt") version "0.27"

After I added ktfmt like you said it won't compile anymore.

[Javier]

No no, as dependency

[Javier]

it is not a plugin

[Javier]

or even as a string if you only want dependabot updates it

[Colton Idle]

hm. okay. not sure where to place that dependency exactly since this is in my root, but I will keep trying it out. Thanks Javier!

[Javier]

In any place it works with dependabot

[Javier]

you don't need to use it directly in dependencies or something so
