Cant find ktlintApplyToIdea task

[janakagamini]

I've added ktLint to my project like so:

Android Studio 3.2.1
At the top of my module level (app) build.gradle file:

plugins {
    id "org.jlleitschuh.gradle.ktlint" version "6.1.0"
}

I wan't to generate the code styles for my project using ktlintApplyToIdea but I can't find the task. Running ./gradlew tasks | grep kt results only in the following:

ktlintFormat - Runs the ktlint formatter on all kotlin sources in this project.
ktlintCheck - Runs ktlint on all kotlin sources in this project.

I believe I was last able to run ktlintApplyToIdea in version 5x.

Strange, I see this two tasks in "Help tasks" section. Can you do ./gradlew tasks and attach here output?

[Tapchicoma]

Note that this two tasks (ktlintApplyToIdea and ktlintApplyToIdeaGlobally) is only available on the root project, but not in modules.

Let me know if you need any other info!

You need to move:

plugins {
    id "org.jlleitschuh.gradle.ktlint" version "6.1.0"
}

to your project top build.gradle. This will automatically apply this plugin to all modules in the project.

Thank you @Tapchicoma this solved the problem!

Note for anyone else who encounters the same issue with Android Studio:

1. plugins block should be below the buildscript block.
2. You must add (as documented) subprojects as well to get the other ktlint tasks added to the app module.

subprojects {
    apply plugin: "org.jlleitschuh.gradle.ktlint" // Version should be inherited from parent
}

I had this problem trying to use version 12.1.0 of org.jlleitschuh.gradle:ktlint-gradle. So I found out it happened because org.jlleitschuh.gradle.ktlint-idea last version is 11.6.1. So I just started to use version 11.6.1 and it solved the issue.
