Detekt: Config file paths should be recognized cross-platform

[sewerk]

Detekt check should be able to recognize correct path to ignore from config file, when using of different operating systems.
Config file was created for unix:

test-pattern:
  active: true
  patterns:
    - '.*/test/.*'
    - '.*/androidTest/.*'
    - '.*Test.kt'
    - '.*Spec.kt'

But when run on Windows its reporting syntax errors for paths like app\src\test\....
How to configure detekt so it can be used across team with different OSs?

[Mauin]

It should be possible to add both:

patterns:
    - '.*/test/.*'
    - '.*\test\.*'

I'm wondering if we should do this in detekt internally, adding a Windows config for every Unix config and the other way around.

[sewerk]

Thanks, small correction, for Windows we need to escape the backslash

patterns:
    - '.*\\test\\.*'

One argument in favor - seems that other tools like Lint supports having single path config
