It seems detekt did not have a source earlier. Now detekt seems to work properly. Should I disable those rules as well for now?

[andrewtavis]

Yes, @angrezichatterbox, sounds good. Would be great if you disable the rules and make good first issues for enabling them and fixing all of their errors 😊

Yes I will disable the rules and make all the issues together :).

Let me know when this is ready for a final review, @angrezichatterbox :)

There seem to be a lot that detekt seems to find. I will add them all and then comment in here.

[angrezichatterbox]

It is now ready for review. There are around 26 that I have disabled.

[andrewtavis]

Nice, @angrezichatterbox :) Feel free to make good first issues for each of these that we want to be enabled!

[angrezichatterbox]

I will make issues for those :).

@angrezichatterbox, I'm getting the following error when trying to build:

Execution failed for task ':app:kspCoreDebugKotlin'.
> Inconsistent JVM-target compatibility detected for tasks 'compileCoreDebugJavaWithJavac' (1.8) and 'kspCoreDebugKotlin' (17).

Are you able to build the project on this branch?

[andrewtavis]

Note that you'll need to bring my changes down 😊

I have fixed this error. I had made some changes to try to get detekt running on my system. Sorry.

[andrewtavis]

No stress whatsoever, @angrezichatterbox! Will review it now :)

[andrewtavis]

App's running great and as noted before the build files are now much more straightforward :) Thanks for this, @angrezichatterbox! Really great that this is being handled pre Hacktoberfest 🎃
