Support Kotlin 1.4 with ktlint 0.38.0

[bjoernmayer]

Version 0.38.0 of ktlint brings support for Kotlin 1.4.

Do you plan to release a new version ktlint-gradle supporting the new ktlint version?

[Tapchicoma]

you could set ktlint version via extension property:

ktlint-gradle/plugin/src/main/kotlin/org/jlleitschuh/gradle/ktlint/KtlintExtension.kt

Line 36 in fa5614c

val version: Property<String> = objectFactory.property { set("0.37.2") }

0.38.0 should work as well.

[bjoernmayer]

Yep.
Doing that already:

ktlint {
    this.version.set("0.38.0-alpha01")
}

A released version of ktlint-gradle supporting 1.4 would still be nice though

The plugin doesn't work with Kotlin 1.4.0 for me – I've tried versions 9.2.1 and 9.3.0. I've set ktlint version to 0.38.1:

ktlint {
    version.set("0.38.1")
    verbose.set(true)
    disabledRules.set(setOf("import-ordering", "no-wildcard-imports"))
}

I get the folowing error:

        at com.pinterest.ktlint.Main.main(Main.kt:62)

Is it possible that not all com.pinterest.ktlint dependencies are set to the selected version?

See also: pinterest/ktlint#876. I honestly don't know where is the problem: in ktlint or ktlint-gradle…

Found the issue:

• ktlint-gradle adds ktlint configuration that is used to pull ktlint itself
• when project are still using kotlin 1.3.+ this is leaked into ktlint configuration leading to usage of incompatible kotlin version.

I am looking how to fix it, workaround would be either:

• use ktlint version < 0.38.+
• update your project to use Kotlin 1.4.+

[Tapchicoma]

Actually after further investigation in affected project I found out following gradle configuration that forcing kotlin version for all configurations:

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
        eachDependency {
            // Force Kotlin to our version
            if (requested.group == "org.jetbrains.kotlin") {
                useVersion("1.3.72")
            }
        }
    }
}

This enforces kotlin version also for ktlint configuration that is created by plugin to dynamically add ktlint and leads to errors running ktlint 0.38+ versions.

To avoid it you should exclude ktlint* configurations from kotlin version enforcement.

Hi @Tapchicoma!

Can you provide small example how to exclude ktlint* configurations from kotlin version enforcement?
