The full path to the project would be C:\Users\Conny Duck\Android\projectname but seems like the space is not handled correctly. I am using version 9.2.1.

That sounds like it's a bug in Ktlint proper not this plugin. @Tapchicoma do you agree?

[Tapchicoma]

could be a plugin issue as well, need some check.

@connyduck could you drop here ktlint args generated file? Usually it is located in build/ktlint/*.args

[connyduck]

Here you go

ktlintKotlinScriptCheck.args

--reporter=plain
--color
--reporter=plain,output=C:\Users\Conny Duck\Android\projectname\build\reports\ktlint\ktlintKotlinScriptCheck.txt
build.gradle.kts
settings.gradle.kts

Looking at reporter line, I think plugin forgot to escape spaces in path, so most probably it is not just Windows specific issue.
