Plugin does not create baseline file

[Jokero]

Hi

First I generated default config file:

mvn detekt:generate-config

Then I run command to generate baseline file:

mvn detekt:create-baseline -Ddetekt.config=default-detekt-config.yml

Error in output:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.github.ozsie:detekt-maven-plugin:1.1.1:create-baseline (default-cli) on project my-service: Execution default-cli of goal com.github.ozsie:detekt-maven-plugin:1.1.1:create-baseline failed: Build failed with 1131 weighted issues (threshold defined was 10)

Baseline file is not created. Ok, let's try to increase threshold to 1132:

detekt finished in 8194 ms.
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Baseline file is still not created. What am I doing wrong?

I expected that the first run of detekt:create-baseline command will create baseline file with all issues placed in Whitelist section

As far as I can tell, the correct flags are passed on to Detekt CLI. Can you verify that it works if you try the CLI directly?

After some more investigations, try this to generate your baseline
mvn detekt:create-baseline -Ddetekt.config=default-detekt-config.yml -Ddetelt.baseline=baseline.xml
It seems that Detekt will not generate the baseline.xml file unless you specify it.

I will try to add that flag as default if it is not present.

So, version 1.7.0 is released, it should be visible in Maven Central soon, if you leave -Ddetekt.baseline=baseline.xml out from the call, it will create baseline.xml for you.
