Dynamically set input files with Detekt Gradle Plugin

[PhilippNowak96]

Is there a way to dynamically set input files (like --input param for CLI) but with Gradle plugin? My goal is to only scan files which have been changed on a specific branch, so I am using some git diff stuff to create a list of changed file paths and now I need to feed it into Detekt Gradle plugin.

I just found out how to apply custom plugins for CLI and configure custom reports. That was my initial reason to use the gradle plugin. Now that I can use all the necessary things with CLI, I can simply use the --input param. So this question is kinda obsolete.

A word of warning: if you're running Detekt with type resolution, the changed files don't cover the files that could trigger new Detekt findings. e.g.

file1.kt

fun f(): List<String> = TODO("implementation omitted for brevity")

file2.kt

class c {
    var list = f()
}

PR changes file1.kt:

-fun f(): List<String> = TODO("implementation omitted for brevity")
+fun f(): MutableList<String> = TODO("implementation omitted for brevity")

var list = f() in file2.kt would be flagged with DoubleMutabilityForCollection.
