Stops the Qodana Inspections Docker container.

cleanInspections

Cleans up the Qodana Inspections output directory.

Example

Add the following to the build.gradle configuration file:

plugins {
    // applies the Gradle Qodana plugin to use it in the project
    id "org.jetbrains.qodana" version "0.1.12"
}

qodana {
    // by default, the results path is $projectPath/build/results
    resultsPath = "some/output/path"
}

runInspections {
    // by default qodana.recommended will be used
    profilePath = "./someExternallyStoredProfile.xml"
}

Add the following to the build.gradle.kts configuration file:

plugins {
    // applies the Gradle Qodana plugin to use it in the project
    id("org.jetbrains.qodana") version "0.1.12"
}

qodana {
    // by default, qodana.recommended will be used
    profilePath.set("./someExternallyStoredProfile.xml")
}

tasks {
    runInspections {
        // by default qodana.recommended will be used
    // profilePath.set("./someExternallyStoredProfile.xml")
    }
}

To run the inspections, start the runInspections Gradle task:

gradle runInspections 
// or
./gradlew runInspections
