Execution failed for task ':app:ktlint' and ':app:ktlintFormat'

[AlexandraFilyakova]

When I try to run tasks ':app:ktlint' and ':app:ktlintFormat' I have similar fails for both tasks:

1: Task failed with an exception.
-----------
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:ktlintFormat'.
> Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.12\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

I use similar code in project:

import dependency.DependenciesVersions.KTLINT

val ktlint: Configuration by configurations.creating

dependencies {
    ktlint("com.pinterest:ktlint:$KTLINT")
}

tasks {
    register<JavaExec>("ktlint") {
        group = "verification"
        description = "Check Kotlin code style."
        classpath = ktlint
        main = "com.pinterest.ktlint.Main"
        args("--android", "src/**/*.kt")
    }

    register<JavaExec>("ktlintFormat") {
        group = "formatting"
        description = "Fix Kotlin code style deviations."
        classpath = ktlint
        main = "com.pinterest.ktlint.Main"
        args("--android", "-F", "src/**/*.kt")
    }
}

Environment

• Version of kotlin used: 1.4.32
• Version of ktlint used: 0.40.0
• Version of Gradle plugin used: 7.0.0-beta05

[Tapchicoma]

exit value 1 means KtLint found style violations. For format case, KtLint could not auto-format all style violations.

@Tapchicoma thanks, for your help. Fixed unresolved format issues and it worked.

[salmanseifian]

@Tapchicoma Hey, I have the same problem, how can I find out where the style violation is?

[AlexandraFilyakova]

@salmanseifian Hi. You can find this information in Android Studio when you run task. "Run" tab in the bottom window if I remember correctly. Just fix issue in code styling manually and it will be working. I hope)

[salmanseifian]

@AlexandraFilyakova Thanks for your reply, but I can't find that information. :( I run the command ./gradlew ktlintFormat, I got the same error as you but no more other information.

[AlexandraFilyakova]

@salmanseifian You can try to start task ktlintFormat from right panel. Gradle -> Your_project_name -> Tasks -> formatting -> ktlintFormat

[paul-dingemans]

@salmanseifian Please share a screendump of what you see. That will be more helpful to determine if you look at the correct place. Please also check ktlint documentation.

[salmanseifian]

this is what I got after running the command

` Summary error count (descending) by rule: standard:no-wildcard-imports: 374 standard:enum-entry-name-case: 80 standard:comment-wrapping: 6 standard:class-naming: 3 standard:filename: 3

[paul-dingemans]

I am not sure, but could it be that the ktlintFormat task is executed with Java16+. In that case the format task can throw exceptions when not opening up required libraries. In example below from Ktlint documentation, you can see how to add JVM arguments to resolve that:

tasks.register("ktlintFormat", JavaExec) {
    group = "formatting"
    description = "Fix Kotlin code style deviations."
    classpath = configurations.ktlint
    mainClass = "com.pinterest.ktlint.Main"
    jvmArgs "--add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED"
    // see https://pinterest.github.io/ktlint/install/cli/#command-line-usage for more information
    args "-F", "src/**/*.kt", "**.kts", "!**/build/**"
}
