`bazel_rules_detekt`

The Detekt (a Kotlin static analysis tool) integration for the Bazel build system.

Features

configuration and baseline files;
HTML, text and XML reports;
plugins;
customizable Detekt version and JVM flags;
persistent workers support;
and more.

Usage

`MODULE.bazel` Configuration

bazel_dep(name = "rules_detekt", version = "...")

`WORKSPACE` Configuration

First of all you need to declare the rule in the WORKSPACE file. Please refer to GitHub releases for the version and the SHA-256 hashsum.

load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")

rules_detekt_version = "see-github-releases-page"
rules_detekt_sha = "see-github-releases-page"

http_archive(
    name = "rules_detekt",
    sha256 = rules_detekt_sha,
    strip_prefix = "bazel_rules_detekt-{v}".format(v = rules_detekt_version),
    url = "https://github.com/buildfoundation/bazel_rules_detekt/archive/v{v}.tar.gz".format(v = rules_detekt_version),
)

load("@rules_detekt//detekt:dependencies.bzl", "rules_detekt_dependencies")
rules_detekt_dependencies()

load("@rules_detekt//detekt:toolchains.bzl", "rules_detekt_toolchains")
rules_detekt_toolchains()

bazelrc Configuration

Users on Bazel releases prior to 5.1.0 need to enable the JSON Persistent Worker protocol in their .bazelrc like so:

build --experimental_worker_allow_json_protocol

This option became stable and enabled by default for newer Bazel releases.

`BUILD` Configuration

Once declared in the WORSKPACE or MODULE.bazel file, the rule can be loaded in the BUILD file.

load("@rules_detekt//detekt:defs.bzl", "detekt_test")

detekt_test(
    name = "my_detekt",
    srcs = glob(["src/main/kotlin/**/*.kt"]),
)

See available attributes.

Execution

$ bazel build //mypackage:my_detekt

Results will be cached on successful runs.

Advanced Configuration

Detekt Version

Change the MODULE.bazel file:

detekt = use_extension("//detekt:extensions.bzl", "detekt")
detekt.detekt_version(
    version = "x.x.x",
    sha256 = "x.x.x.sha256",
)
use_repo(detekt, "detekt_cli_all")

Or change the WORKSPACE file:

load("@rules_detekt//detekt:versions.bzl", "detekt_version")
load("@rules_detekt//detekt:dependencies.bzl", "rules_detekt_dependencies")

rules_detekt_dependencies(
    detekt_version = detekt_version(
        version = "x.x.x",
        sha256 = "x.x.x.sha256",
    )
)

JVM Flags

Define a toolchain in a BUILD file:

load("@rules_detekt//detekt:toolchain.bzl", "detekt_toolchain")

detekt_toolchain(
    name = "my_detekt_toolchain_impl",
    jvm_flags = ["-Xms16m", "-Xmx128m"],
)

toolchain(
    name = "my_detekt_toolchain",
    toolchain = "my_detekt_toolchain_impl",
    toolchain_type = "@rules_detekt//detekt:toolchain_type",
)

Change the WORKSPACE file:

load("@rules_detekt//detekt:toolchains.bzl", "rules_detekt_toolchains")

rules_detekt_toolchains(toolchain = "//mypackage:my_detekt_toolchain")
