v1.21.0

We're delighted to announce the next upcoming stable release of Detekt: 1.21.0 🎉 This release is coming with 6 new rules, new API and functionalities and several stability improvements.

We want to thank you very much our Sponsors for the support in those last months. The work behind Detekt is all happening on a voluntary basis, and we're more than grateful for all the support we get from the Open Source Ecosystem.

We're also excited to announce that we're now having an Open Source Gradle Enterprise instance. When building the Detekt projects, you'll benefit from the Gradle Remote Cache that this instance is providing!

Finally, we want to take the opportunity to thank 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 enabled ~30 new rules by default which we believe are now stable enough. - #​4875
• We added 7 new Rules to Detekt
  • NullableBooleanCheck - #​4872
  • CouldBeSequence - #​4855
  • UnnecessaryBackticks - #​4764
  • ForbiddenSuppress - #​4899
  • MaxChainedCallsOnSameLine - #​4985
  • CascadingCallWrapping - #​4979
  • NestedScopeFunctions - #​4788
• We added support for Markdown reports - #​4858
• We now allow users and rule authors to specify a reason for every value in the config file - #​4611 - Please note that this feature requires a rule to be extended to support it. If you're a rule author you can start using it right away in your rule. We're looking into using this feature in some first party rule starting from Detekt 1.22.0.
• We now report as warnings the Strings in the config file that can be converted to be an array - #​4793
• We added a dependency on ConTester to help us verify concurrency scenarios for Detekt - #​4672
• For contributors: we restructured our build setup to be use Gradle composite build - #​4751

Migration

We fixed a bug related to function with KDocs and how their location in the source code was calculated (see #​4961 and #​4887).

Because of this, some users might have to recreate their baseline as the location of such functions are not matched anymore against the baseline. You can do so by deleting your old baseline and invoking the detektBaseline task (or the corresponding task, based on your configuration).
