hello everyone. I am following some instrctions to execute detekt in entire project, so now I have the task :

tasks.register("detektAll") {
    allprojects {
        [e-mail](tasks.withType<io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt.Detekt>())
    }
}

I would like to run the detektAll in each build, but I unable configure that.
Do you know a better approach to run detekt in entire project ???

Gradle uses name-matching execution, so if you run a task in the root project, it will run tasks with that name in every subproject.

Ok, but I do not understand how to use name-matching execution to run detekt in entire project in each build.

Technically you are not running the task on the rootProject

[Javier]

Supposing you have three projects with detekt task, rootProject (:), a, and b

If you run ./gradlew detekt, it will execute

:detekt
:a:detekt
:b:detekt

[Javier]

if you run ./gradlew :detekt it will execute

:detekt

[Javier]

which is the rootProject one

[Javier]

similar for ./gradlew :a:detekt

ok, i ran shareddetekt but the task does not execute the checks. Is the correct run detektMetadata* tasks and shareddetektAndroidRelease / shareddetektAndroidDebug ???

You can use the sample i shared here: https://github.com/detekt/detekt/issues/5611#issuecomment-1365505710
It run all the tasks from all the modules plus it support also KMP
