Prior to AGP 7.1.0, it was possible to pipe lint output to stdout via textOutput 'stdout', but now textOutput is a File and it's not clear how to pipe to stdout now aside from creating a separate task that then reads this file after the lint analysis task runs. It's totally fine if that's the case, but then the doc should probably be updated too as it still suggests textOutput 'stdout'.

this is the new Lint block right? All the docs still refer to lintOptions.

textOuput has always been a file, but what's gone in 7.1 in the new lint block is the helper funtion

fun textOutput(textOutput: String) {
    this.textOutput = File(textOutput)
}

We should probably just separate out the file and stdout DSL, they are really separate concepts rather than relying on line special casing a local file called stdout/stderr

... time passes ...

The new Lint block says, in its KDoc for textReport, "To output the lint report to stdout set textReport=true, and leave textOutput unset."

Unfortunately it also still said in its interface documentation that textOutput could be "a file or 'stdout' or 'stderr'", which has basically never been true (a sentence carried over from the old LintOptions Dsl block's documentation). I've removed that sentence, and that change will eventually show up in the documentation on developer.android.com for newer AGP versions.

Thank you for the report!
