I am having an issue with with the detekt task and Gradle 8.0, this is the setup: •

:gradle-extensions

(it has no code, it just add more subprojects using api(...), like it was an index of all projects) •

:gradle-extensions-subprojects:gradle-logging-extensions

And the error is this one:

Reason: Task ':gradle-extensions:detekt' uses this output of task ':gradle-extensions-subprojects:gradle-logging-extensions:spotlessKotlin' without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency. This can lead to incorrect results being produced, depending on what order the tasks are executed.

    Possible solutions:
      1. Declare task ':gradle-extensions-subprojects:gradle-logging-extensions:spotlessKotlin' as an input of ':gradle-extensions:detekt'.
      2. Declare an explicit dependency on ':gradle-extensions-subprojects:gradle-logging-extensions:spotlessKotlin' from ':gradle-extensions:detekt' using Task#dependsOn.
      3. Declare an explicit dependency on ':gradle-extensions-subprojects:gradle-logging-extensions:spotlessKotlin' from ':gradle-extensions:detekt' using Task#mustRunAfter.

As you can see in the

Reason

, the

detekt

task is on the

gradle-extensions

module, and the the

spotlessKotlin

in a different module. I have tried to do

detekt.mustRunAfter(_tasks_.findByName("spotlessKotlin"))

, but that dependency would work with tasks on the same project
