Hi everyone, I’m centralising common gradle plugins (and config) in team specific gradle plugin. Now I hit problem with merging plugin extensions. So my QualityPlugin applies Detekt and configures detekt to run all rules:

class QualityPlugin : Plugin<Project> {
    override fun apply(target: Project) {
        target.pluginManager.apply(DetektPlugin::class.java)

        target.extensions.configure(DetektExtension::class.java) {
            allRules = true
        }
    }
}

Now I have a project where I want to apply my QualityPlugin and, additionally, set a Detekt base line:

plugins {
 id("my quality plugin name")
}
 
detekt {
    baseline = file("config/detekt-baseline-test.xml")
}

I was expecting Gradle to graciously merge the

allRules

and

baseline

settings in the DetektExtension but alas. The baseline is ignored. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

the way I am reading that it should be working as you expect. plugin apply is going to setAllRules = true and then it will return to the build script and run your detekt config block.

Was reading upon Lazy Configuration and wondering whether that would be required for above to work as expected? As it is, the

baseline

property of

DetektExtension

is defined as

File

and not as

Provider<File>
