We're extremely excited to announce the next upcoming stable release of Detekt: 1.22.0 πŸš€
This release is coming with 16 new rules, 2 new rulesets and several new functionalities & APIs.

We've also introduced the Detekt Marketplace, a place for users to share their 3rd party rules and extensions.

We want to take the opportunity to thank our Sponsors and our Contributors for testing, bug reporting and helping us release this new version of Detekt. You're more than welcome to join our community on the #detekt channel on KotlinLang's Slack (you can get an invite here).

Notable Changes
  • We're introducing the Detekt Marketplace, a place where you can add your own 3rd party extension such as rule, plugins, custom reporter, etc. - #5191
  • Our website is now versioned. You can find the changes for each version using the dropdown menu on the top bar. Documentation for the upcoming version (next) can be found here.
  • We added 16 new Rules to Detekt
    • AlsoCouldBeApply - #5333
    • MultilineRawStringIndentation - #5058
    • TrimMultilineRawString - #5051
    • UnnecessaryNotNullCheck - #5218
    • UnnecessaryPartOfBinaryExpression - #5203
    • UseSumOfInsteadOfFlatMapSize - #5405
    • FunctionReturnTypeSpacing from KtLint - #5256
    • FunctionSignature from KtLint - #5256
    • FunctionStartOfBodySpacing from KtLint - #5256
    • NullableTypeSpacing from KtLint - #5256
    • ParameterListSpacing from KtLint - #5256
    • SpacingBetweenFunctionNameAndOpeningParenthesis from KtLint - #5256
    • TrailingCommaOnCallSite from KtLint - #5312
    • TrailingCommaOnDeclarationSite from KtLint - #5312
    • TypeParameterListSpacing from KtLint - #5256
  • We added a new ruleset called detekt-rules-ruleauthors containing rules for Rule Authors to enforce best practices on Detekt rules such as the new ViolatesTypeResolutionRequirements - #5129 #5182
  • We added a new ruleset called detekt-rules-libraries containing rules mostly useful for Library Authors - We moved the following rules inside ForbiddenPublicDataClass, LibraryCodeMustSpecifyReturnType, LibraryEntitiesShouldNotBePublic this new ruleset - See Migration below on how to migrate #5360
  • We added support for JVM toolchain. This means that Detekt will now respect the JDK toolchain you specify on your Gradle configuration. You will also be able to specify a custom JDK home with the --jdk-home CLI parameter - #5269
  • Improvement for Type Resolution
    • We will now skip rules annotated with @RequiresTypeResolution when without Type Resolution - #5176
    • We will warn users if they run rules requiring Type Resolution when Type Resolution is disabled, so they're not silently skipped - #5226
  • Improvement for Config Management
    • We added exhaustiveness check during config validation. You can enable it checkExhaustiveness: true in your config file. This is disabled by default. - #5089
    • We added support for generating custom configuration for rule authors - #5080
  • Deprecations & Removals
    • We deprecated the MultiRule class as it was overly complicated. The suggested approach is to just provide separated rules. - #5161
    • The --fail-fast CLI flag (and failFast Gradle property) has been removed. It was deprecated since 1.16.x - #5290
    • We deprecated the following rules DuplicateCaseInWhenExpression, MissingWhenCase, RedundantElseInWhen as the Kotlin Compiler is already reporting errors for those scenarios - #5309
    • We removed the --print-ast CLI flag as PsiViewer provides the same features - #5418
  • Notable changes to existing rules
    • ArrayPrimitive is now working only with Type Resolution - #5175
    • WildcardImport is now running also on tests by default - #5121
    • ForbiddenImport allows now to specify a reason for every forbidden import - #4909
    • IgnoredReturnValue: option restrictToAnnotatedMethods is now deprecated in favor of restrictToConfig - #4922
  • This version of Detekt is built with Gradle v7.5.1, AGP 7.3.1, Kotlin 1.7.21 and KtLint 0.47.1 (see #5363 #5189 #5411 #5312 #5519)
  • The minimum supported Gradle version is now v6.7.1 - #4964
Migration

We deprecated a number of rules in this release.

You should update your config file as follows:

  potential-bugs:
    active: true
    ...
-   DuplicateCaseInWhenExpression:
-     active: true
    ...
-   MissingWhenCase:
-     active: true
-     allowElseExpression: true
    ...
-   RedundantElseInWhen:
-     active: true

  style:
    active: true
    ...
-   ForbiddenPublicDataClass:
-     active: true
-     excludes: ['**']
-     ignorePackages:
-       - '*.internal'
-       - '*.internal.*'
    ...
-   LibraryCodeMustSpecifyReturnType:
-     active: true
-     excludes: ['**']
    ...
-   LibraryEntitiesShouldNotBePublic:
-     active: true
-     excludes: ['**']

If you wish to use the libraries ruleset we introduced you should add the following to your config file:

+ libraries:
+   active: true
+   ForbiddenPublicDataClass:
+     active: false
+   LibraryEntitiesShouldNotBePublic:
+     active: false
+   LibraryCodeMustSpecifyReturnType:
+     active: true

and add the following to you build.gradle file:

detektPlugins("io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt:detekt-rules-libraries:$version")

If you're using our KtLint wrapper (i.e. detekt-formatting) you should also update your config file as follows:

formatting:
  active: true
  ...
- TrailingComma:
-   active: false
-   autoCorrect: true
-   allowTrailingComma: false
-   allowTrailingCommaOnCallSite: false
  ...
+ TrailingCommaOnCallSite:
+   active: false
+   autoCorrect: true
+   useTrailingCommaOnCallSite: false
+ TrailingCommaOnDeclarationSite:
+   active: false
+   autoCorrect: true
+   useTrailingCommaOnDeclarationSite: false
