Kotlinter Gradle

Build Status Latest Version

Painless Gradle plugin for linting and formatting Kotlin source files using the awesome ktlint engine.

It aims to be easy to set up with zero required configuration and behaves as you'd expect out of the box.

It's also fast because it integrates the ktlint engine directly with Gradle's incremental build and uses the Worker API to parallelize work.

Installation

Available on the Gradle Plugins Portal: https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/org.jmailen.kotlinter

Single module

Kotlin 
plugins {
    id("org.jmailen.kotlinter") version "4.5.0"
}
Groovy 
plugins {
    id "org.jmailen.kotlinter" version "4.5.0"
}

Multi-module and Android

Kotlin Root `build.gradle.kts` 
plugins {
    id("org.jmailen.kotlinter") version "4.5.0" apply false
}

Each module build.gradle.kts with Kotlin source

plugins {
    id("org.jmailen.kotlinter")
}
Groovy Root `build.gradle` 
plugins {
    id 'org.jmailen.kotlinter' version "4.5.0" apply false
}

Each module build.gradle with Kotlin source

plugins {
    id 'org.jmailen.kotlinter'
}

Features

  • Supports Kotlin Gradle plugins:
  • Supports .kt and .kts files
  • Standalone LintTask and FormatTask types for defining custom tasks
  • Incremental build support and fast parallelization with Gradle Worker API
  • Configures from .editorconfig when available
  • Configurable reporters

Tasks

When your project uses one of the supported Kotlin Gradle plugins, Kotlinter adds these tasks:

formatKotlin: format Kotlin source code according to ktlint rules or warn when auto-format not possible.

lintKotlin: report Kotlin lint errors and by default fail the build.

Also check becomes dependent on lintKotlin.

Granular tasks are added for each source set in the project: formatKotlinSourceSet and lintKotlinSourceSet.

Git Hooks

Kotlinter can install a hook to run pre-push (installKotlinterPrePushHook). The hook runs lintKotlin and, if there are errors, formatKotlin and exits non-zero leaving changed files to be committed.

You must apply the kotlinter plugin to your root project to make this task available. If using git worktree you must install the hook from the parent git directory.

To install the hook automatically when someone runs the build, add this to your root project build.gradle.kts:

Kotlin 
tasks.check {
    dependsOn("installKotlinterPrePushHook")
}
Groovy 
tasks.named('check') {
    dependsOn 'installKotlinterPrePushHook'
}

Configuration

Options are configured in the kotlinter extension. Defaults shown (you may omit the configuration block entirely if you want these defaults).

Kotlin 
kotlinter {
    failBuildWhenCannotAutoFormat = false
    ignoreFailures = false
    reporters = arrayOf("checkstyle", "plain")
}
Groovy 
kotlinter {
    failBuildWhenCannotAutoFormat = false
    ignoreFailures = false
    reporters = ['checkstyle', 'plain']
}

Setting failBuildWhenCannotAutoFormat to true will configure the formatKotlin task to fail the build when auto-format is not able to fix a lint error. This is overrided by setting ignoreFailures to true.

Options for reporters: checkstyle, html, json, plain, sarif

Reporters behave as described at: https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint

Editorconfig

Kotlinter will configure itself using an .editorconfig file if one is present.

This configuration includes code style and linting rules.

See KtLint configuration for details.

Customizing Tasks

The formatKotlinSourceSet and lintKotlinSourceSet tasks inherit from SourceTask so you can customize includes, excludes, and source.

Kotlin 
tasks.withType<LintTask> {
    this.source = this.source.minus(fileTree("src/generated")).asFileTree
}

tasks.withType<FormatTask> {
    this.source = this.source.minus(fileTree("src/generated")).asFileTree
}
Groovy 
tasks.named("lintKotlinMain") {
  source = source - fileTree("$buildDir/generated")
}

Note that exclude paths are relative to the package root.

Custom Tasks

If you aren't using autoconfiguration from a supported plugin or otherwise need to handle additional source code, you can create custom tasks:

Kotlin 
import org.jmailen.gradle.kotlinter.tasks.LintTask
import org.jmailen.gradle.kotlinter.tasks.FormatTask

tasks.register<LintTask>("ktLint") {
    group = "verification"
    source(files("src"))
    reports.set(
        mapOf(
            "plain" to file("build/lint-report.txt"),
            "json" to file("build/lint-report.json")
        )
    )
}

tasks.register<FormatTask>("ktFormat") {
    group = "formatting"
    source(files("src"))
    report.set(file("build/format-report.txt"))
}
Groovy 
import org.jmailen.gradle.kotlinter.tasks.LintTask
import org.jmailen.gradle.kotlinter.tasks.FormatTask

tasks.register('ktLint', LintTask) {
    group 'verification'
    source files('src')
    reports = [
            'plain': file('build/lint-report.txt'),
            'json' : file('build/lint-report.json')
    ]
}


tasks.register('ktFormat', FormatTask) {
  group 'formatting'
  source files('src/test')
  report = file('build/format-report.txt')
}

Custom ktlint version

If you need to use a different version of ktlint you can override the dependency.

Kotlin or Groovy 
buildscript {
    configurations.classpath {
        resolutionStrategy {
            force(
                "com.pinterest.ktlint:ktlint-rule-engine:1.2.1",
                "com.pinterest.ktlint:ktlint-rule-engine-core:1.2.1",
                "com.pinterest.ktlint:ktlint-cli-reporter-core:1.2.1",
                "com.pinterest.ktlint:ktlint-cli-reporter-checkstyle:1.2.1",
                "com.pinterest.ktlint:ktlint-cli-reporter-json:1.2.1",
                "com.pinterest.ktlint:ktlint-cli-reporter-html:1.2.1",
                "com.pinterest.ktlint:ktlint-cli-reporter-plain:1.2.1",
                "com.pinterest.ktlint:ktlint-cli-reporter-sarif:1.2.1",
                "com.pinterest.ktlint:ktlint-ruleset-standard:1.2.1"
            )
        }
    }
}

Alternatively, if you have a custom build convention plugin that utilizes kotlinter, you can enforce a newer KtLint version through a platform directive:

Kotlin or Groovy 
dependencies {
    implementation(platform("com.pinterest.ktlint:ktlint-bom:1.2.1"))
    implementation("org.jmailen.gradle:kotlinter-gradle:4.5.0")
}

Custom Rules

You can add custom ktlint RuleSets using the buildscript classpath:

Kotlin 
buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath(files("libs/my-custom-ktlint-rules.jar"))
        classpath("org.other.ktlint:custom-rules:1.0")
    }
}
Groovy 
buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath files('libs/my-custom-ktlint-rules.jar')
        classpath 'org.other.ktlint:custom-rules:1.0'
    }
}
