I have upgraded ktlint from 0.40.0 to 0.41.0. However, I am getting error when I execute ./gradlew ktlintCheck. How do I fix this? Thank you.

Steps to Reproduce

• Update to 0.41.0
• Execute ./gradlew ktlintCheck

Your Environment

• Version of ktlint used: 0.41.0
• Name and version (or code for custom task) of integration used (Gradle plugin, Maven plugin, command line, custom Gradle task): ktlint-gradle plugin 10.0.0
• Version of Gradle used (if applicable): 6.8.3

Please open a new issue in ktlint-gradle project. I think something wrong with your configuration.

Since ktlint 0.41.0, shadowRuntimeElements variant is added, and you must select variant explicitly.

 dependencies {
     val ktlintVersion: String by project.ext.properties
    add("ktlint", "com.pinterest:ktlint:$ktlintVersion") {
        attributes {
            attribute(Bundling.BUNDLING_ATTRIBUTE, objects.named(Bundling.EXTERNAL))
        }
    }
}

@ganadist thank you! How to achieve this with ktlint plugin?

[ganadist]

If you are using ktlint with gradle plugin, it can run well without any modifications.

If you are using ktlint without gradle plugin, please follow https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint/pull/1120/files

@ganadist unfortunately, root project ktlintCheck fails with above error. Only ./gradlew :app:ktlintCheck works fine.

[ganadist]

It seems that you are using allprojects notation.

And you might fix with using subprojects notation as example configuration.

I don't know the right solution for allprojects, but you might need to setup substituting a dependency with attributes

I think this was closed too early. I have my build.gradle to be configured exactly as README.md says in with Gradle section and I'm not using ktlint-gradle plugin, but still I've got the above error after upgrading to ktlint-0.41.0

[nuhkoca]

@dimsuz This was closed because I moved this issue to ktlint plugin repo since this issue is mainly related to the plugin itself. And it is expected to be fixed in the next release.

[dimsuz]

But I don't use that plugin and still have this issue, that's what I've tried to say above.
Hence I think that either README should be updated to recommend only using that ktlint plugin or somehow updated to exclude this error in ktlint.

I use instructions from (without a plugin) section and they lead to the error.
