exclude variable in Detekt Gradle Plugin?

[alexandre-thauvin]

HI,

As I saw in the 1.17.0 release note, the source paths test/java/ and test/kotlin/ are now checked. As I see in the documentation, it is possible to specify the source paths with the source variable. But is there no way to exclude some source paths (e.g. test/java and test/kotlin) instead of specifying main/java and main/kotlin ?

I tried this following solution with the exclude("**/test/**) but my tests are still being checked.

I use the 1.19.0 version and here is my detekt task:

        detekt {
            buildUponDefaultConfig = true
            autoCorrect = true

            // Construct a baseline filename per module
            def rootDir = new File(rootProject.rootDir, "config/detekt/baselines")
            def projectPath = project.getPath().replaceAll(':', '/')
            def fullPath = new File(rootDir, projectPath)
            baseline = new File(fullPath, "baseline.xml")
            // The directories where detekt looks for source files.
            // Defaults to `files("src/main/java", "src/test/java", "src/main/kotlin", "src/test/kotlin")`.
            // So we need to specify main in order to avoid analyzing **/test/** source path
            source = files(
                    "src/main/kotlin",
                    "src/main/java"
            )
        }
        tasks.withType(io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt.Detekt).configureEach {
            exclude("**/test/**") // exclude all tests
        }

        tasks.withType(io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt.DetektCreateBaselineTask).configureEach {
            exclude("**/test/**") // exclude all tests
        }

but my tests are still being checked.

That's correct. A couple of questions:

1. Are you invoking the detekt task or detektMain (or other task).
2. Are you sure you're not getting tests inside androidTest reported instead?
3. Could you provide a small reproducer?

1 - I'm using detekt as detektMain doesn't compile > Could not find method detektMain() for arguments [build_eu04fnlijv12pmbmwtt37evwa$_run_closure2$_closure13$_closure16@641fefc8] on project ':apps' of type org.gradle.api.Project.
(I just changed the name of my detekt task to detektMain)
2 - I confirm that it is test and not androidTest that are reported, actually androidTest are not reported.
3 - I will provide a small reproducer later.

Thanks for the time and the reply!
