Question

Does someone have a custom script or Gradle task to merge detekt reports on the root directory I had a workaround that was running detekt on the root project over all files but it is problematic with Gradle 8

Sebastian Schuberth · Answer

For me this still works with Gradle 8 <https detekt dev docs introduction reporting merging reports>

Javier · Answer

wow I didn t know that exists it will not work with project isolation but it will be better than the workaround I just get working now and it was scaling really bad

Javier · Answer

< Sebastian Schuberth> it only works with one kind of output right is it not possible to merge all types

Javier · Answer

it is not working for me

Sebastian Schuberth · Answer

I believe it works for most report formats like SARIF and XML but not for e g MD see <https github com detekt detekt issues 5034>

Javier · Answer

I created a reportMerge task for each type of file the `detekt` dir is created at the root build dir but there are no files

Javier · Answer

I will remove md and retry but looks like I am doing something wrong

Are there any plans to better support Gradle project isolation Checked for GH issues but found none

eygraber · Answer

Don t the gradle docs recommend not starting to address project isolation yet

Javier · Answer

I didn t create an issue because AFAIK Detekt is applied to only one project so there is no cross project configurations which can break project isolation

Javier · Answer

other different things is that there aren t merged reports and the proposed solutions are not project isolation friendly tho

Emil Kantis · Answer

I want a multimodule repo to use a single baseline Because as far as I can tell the IntelliJ plug in only supports a single baseline file The <https github com detekt detekt blob main build gradle kts|proposed setup> uses cross configuration which I m not keen on introducing

Javier · Answer

But that is not related to project isolation support AFAIK

Javier · Answer

you can use the same file in all projects as you can access to that file without referencing any project for example `rootDir resolve my common detekt file `

Emil Kantis · Answer

Each task to generate baseline overwrites the previous baseline instead of aggregating into it

Javier · Answer

Ah right Then maybe the refactor is more needed cc < Brais Gabin>

Brais Gabin · Answer

I never used the intellij plugin but to me that sounds like a missing feature in it It should support multiple baselines

Brais Gabin · Answer

I must say that I like to have each module with their own baselines

Emil Kantis · Answer

Would be terrific if the IntelliJ plugin supported wildcard matchers ` detekt baseline xml` slightly smiling face

Brais Gabin · Answer

If you can open an issue on the plugin repo

Brais Gabin · Answer

I don t usually follow that repo but I m sure that any pr on that regard will be more than welcome

Emil Kantis · Answer

I piggy backed on this one <https github com detekt detekt intellij plugin issues 145>
