1.15.0 can't find task w/ name "check"

[kenyee]

plugins {
id 'org.jmailen.kotlinter' version '1.15.0'
}
in the root gradle (not the app gradle) file causes this error

* What went wrong:
An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'org.jmailen.kotlinter', version: '1.15.0']
> Failed to apply plugin [id 'org.jmailen.kotlinter']
   > Task with name 'check' not found in root project 'android'.

1.14.0 didn't have a problem.
We do have flavors and build types.
Switching back to 1.14.0, gradle tasks does show the "check" task:

Verification tasks
------------------
check - Runs all checks.
connectedAndroidTest - Installs and runs instrumentation tests for all flavors on connected devices.

Thanks for the report and sorry for the trouble. I'll look into it ASAP.

In the prior version was that configuration actually linting any of your source code? For a multi-module android project I believe the correct way to configure the plugin is similar to the android plugin itself:

In the root build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven {
            url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'gradle.plugin.org.jmailen.gradle:kotlinter-gradle:1.15.0'
     }
}

In each module which has kotlin source code and applies either the kotlin-android or org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm plugins:

apply plugin: 'org.jmailen.kotlinter'

It does look like I've accidentally removed the safeguards that prevent the creation of the parent tasks from blowing up if there is no check (or source code) in the current module. I'll fix it in 1.15.1

Failure fixed in 1.15.1 and documentation added: https://github.com/jeremymailen/kotlinter-gradle#multi-module-and-android

That explains why I never saw any warnings from it but Detekt flagged stuff 😂
