detekt will run on files with the following extensions: Configuration
detekt uses a YAML style configuration file. detekt supports the following config files: - User-defined config file set at
reviews.tools.detekt.config_file in your project’s .coderabbit.yaml file or setting the “Review → Tools → detekt → Config File” field in CodeRabbit’s settings page.
If no user-defined config file is found, CodeRabbit will generate a detekt-config.yaml file based on the selected profile. When we skip detekt
CodeRabbit will skip running detekt when: - No Kotlin files are found in the pull request.
- detekt is already running in GitHub workflows.
Profile behavior
CodeRabbit generates different detekt configurations based on the review profile: - Chill Mode: Uses a focused configuration with fewer rules enabled.
- Assertive Mode: Uses a more comprehensive configuration with additional rules enabled.
If you provide your own config file, it will be used instead of the generated one. Links
