Also, if you’re on Kotlin 1.4 it won’t work right now. I’ll release a new version later today. Due to how ktfmt loads the AST viewer, you also need to be on Gradle 6.8+ to make everything work 😓

Really I was thinking to create a feature request about this in the ktfmt repo because the problems I had with spotless, so it is great to it just exists already :)

Another question, I like the strict formatting of ktfmt but I want to keep Detekt to find code smell, do you know if some ktfmt formats can do problems with Detekt?

One question,

gradlew build

run check and/or format tasks?

I am having the same problem I have with Spotless where it doesn’t work the second time I run it, I tried even using the macOS terminal instead of the AS terminal, do you know where can be this problem? I think it is cached somewhere…

what’s the problem?

Hey @gammax, do you think we should add this Slack channel to the README of the project?

You mean to

ktfmt-gradle

?

Also @Javier, on the issue tracker you mentioned:

Yeah, I am using dropbox-style. But currently, there is no way to use it with any Gradle plugin no?

I’m not sure I follow you there? 🤔 Isn’t that supported with the Gradle plugin?

I published v0.21 to maven central, which has a new —kotlinlang-style format, if you want to give it a try. I haven’t had the time to create a proper release on GitHub with examples and all, or to integrate it with the IJ plugin. (Paternity leave :) )

I’ve just published v0.4.0 of the Gradle plugin that contains the

kotlinLangStyle()

function: https://github.com/cortinico/ktfmt-gradle/releases/tag/0.4.0

Trying to use ktfmt with spotless. In my root I added the plugin

id("com.diffplug.spotless") version "5.12.4"

then I added this block in my root build.gradle.kts

spotless {
    kotlin {
        ktfmt("0.24").dropboxStyle() // version and dropbox style are optional
    }
}

When I try to run

./gradlew spotlessCheck

I get

Could not determine the dependencies of task ':spotlessCheck'.
> Could not create task ':spotlessKotlinCheck'.
   > Could not create task ':spotlessKotlin'.
      > You must either specify 'target' manually or apply a kotlin plugin.

Any ideas?

Hey @Colton Idle, following up what you wrote here: https://twitter.com/ColtonIdle/status/1388540306979708928 Do you need any support?

Does anyone use the ktfmt intellij plugin? It doesn't seem to work and just curious what people are doing in the meantime while that gets resolved. Does no one else hit cmd ctrl L all the time like me? 😄

Heads up: ktfmt 0.25 is released with Kotlin 1.5.0 support, but Maven Central is having a high load so I'm unable to deploy a new version. I'll try again once the 2nd graph on https://status.maven.org/ goes down under 300s.

I know I can run the ktfmt jar to format code, but can I run it on CI as a "test" to see if code was already formatted correctly? Essentially, if ktfmt has to make a change -- then it fails.

Curious if this is worth filing a bug. https://facebookincubator.github.io/ktfmt/ under gradle the docs say:

# build.gradle.kts
plugins { id("com.diffplug.spotless") }
    
// version and style are optional
spotless { kotlin { ktfmt('0.25').kotlinlangStyle() } }

but spotless docs say:

spotless { // if you are using build.gradle.kts, instead of 'spotless {' use:
           // configure<com.diffplug.gradle.spotless.SpotlessExtension> {

...

So should it be

spotless {

or

configure<com.diffplug.gradle.spotless.SpotlessExtension> {

for kts files? Are the spotless docs wrong/out of date? Or should the ktfmt website show the proper api for applying to a kts file? (this is a super small detail but as someone that just felt like they jumped through a bunch of hoops to get this working with kts build files on Android, I want to make sure the docs are up to date) 😄

Anyone using the ktfmt IJ plugin and working on compose code? It's not usable because it completely breaks things on reformat. Trying to get more eyes on this to see if it's just me OR if it's a local issue. Cheers https://github.com/facebookincubator/ktfmt/issues/249

Does anyone use ktfmt with spotless? https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/blob/main/plugin-gradle/README.md#ktfmt I'm curious if anyone knows a way to just use latest ktfmt instead of updating the string manually in this config block

Note that 

ktfmt

 still has some rough edges which we're constantly working on fixing.

Does it? I'd say in general it works really well. 😄 I've had a way better experience than ktlint. Should the docs highlight any of these rough edges so that it's easier (from the maintainers POV) what is still a rough experience?

// version and style are optional
spotless { kotlin { ktfmt('0.29').kotlinlangStyle() } }

From the ktfmt website ^ Does that mean that if I omit the ktfmt version, it will always use the latest?

Note: There is no configurability as to the formatter's algorithm for formatting (apart from 

--dropbox-style

). This is a deliberate design decision to unify our code formatting on a single format.

It looks like when using spotless there are four styles? 1. default (no style selected) 2. dropbox 3. google 4. kotlin Should those be added to the readme, or are they the same or something?

If anyone has any free time, do you mind seeing if you can reproduce this bug? https://github.com/facebookincubator/ktfmt/issues/249 It's been going on for months and it drives me absolutely insane. Calling reformat code with the ktfmt plugin literally breaks my code. 😭

We have ktfmt enabled in our project using spotless. I found a problem with the check. It complains when using factory functions with UpperCamelCase naming. However, this is valid under Kotlin lang rules: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/coding-conventions.html#function-names Is there a way to change this? Or shall I open a PR for this? Thank you 🙏

Hello 👋 Is there a way to replace the standard intellij formatter with ktfmt? It looks like my IDE and the formatter keep fighting

there is a IDE plugin available at the marketplace

followed the instructions on that, still appears to be different

have you selected the correct formatter? By default it uses facebook one, maybe you are using kotlinlang

I turned it off and then back on
