Integrates detekt, a static code analysis tool for the Kotlin programming language, into IntelliJ.

The plugin can be downloaded from the Jetbrains plugin repository.

Help testing beta releases

• Settings -> Plugins -> Manage Plugin Repositories
• Add https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugins/beta/list (check for trailing spaces!)

Configuration Options

That's it. Detekt issues will be annotated on-the-fly while coding.

Autocorrection

You may optionally click Refactor -> AutoCorrect by detekt rules to auto correct detekt violations if possible.

Building / developing the plugin

For building the project, the Gradle IntelliJ plugin is used.

# linux & macOS
./gradlew buildPlugin
# windows
gradlew buildPlugin

To test your development, use task runIde which will automatically run an Intellij instance to test your new version of detekt plugin.

# linux & macOS
./gradlew runIde
# windows
gradlew runIde

Also install the current Detekt IntelliJ Plugin version to verify you do not introduce new issues.
