Example

Add this to your Gradle configuration file:

• Groovy – build.gradle

  plugins {
      // applies Gradle Qodana plugin to use it in project
      id "org.jetbrains.qodana" version "..."
  }
  
  qodana {
      // by default result path is $projectPath/build/results
      resultsPath = "some/output/path"
  }
  
  runInspections {
      // by default qodana.recommended will be used
      profilePath = "./someExternallyStoredProfile.xml"  
  }

• Kotlin – build.gradle.kts

  plugins {
      // applies Gradle Qodana plugin to use it in project
      id("org.jetbrains.qodana") version "..."
  }
  
  qodana {
      // by default result path is $projectPath/build/results
      resultsPath.set("some/output/path")
  }
  
  tasks {
      runInspections {
          // by default qodana.recommended will be used
          profilePath.set("./someExternallyStoredProfile.xml")
      }
  }

Note: Docker requires at least 4GB of memory. Set it in Docker Preferences > Resources > Memory section.

Now you can run inspections with runInspections Gradle task:

gradle runInspections 
// or
./gradlew runInspections

Full guide for options and configuration parameters could be found on qodana docs page.

Build Locally

Build

Execute Gradle task publishToMavenLocal to build Gradle Qodana Plugin and publish it into local Maven repository. By default, plugin will be published into ~/.mvn/org/jetbrains/qodana/ directory.

Add Maven local repository into available repositories in your Gradle project. For this you need to add following lines at the beginning of settings.gradle[.kts] file:

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        gradlePluginPortal()
    }
}

Apply Gradle Qodana Plugin with snapshot version in Gradle configuration file and mount the Maven Local directory:

• Groovy – build.gradle

  plugins {
      id "org.jetbrains.qodana" version "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  }
  
  qodana {
      mount("/Users/me/.m2", "/root/.m2")
  }

• Kotlin DSL – build.gradle.kts

  plugins {
      id("org.jetbrains.qodana") version "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  }
  
  qodana {
      mount("/Users/me/.m2", "/root/.m2")
  }
