morning. two questions: - does ktlint check for .* imports vs explicit classes list - does ktlint check for number of spaces before chained methods calls like

val x = listOf(1, 2, 3)
                .map { it + 1 }
            .sum()

(on this example, the

.map...

can be set to 16 spaces, but when I add one more space, suddenly it's

Unexpected indentation (17) (it should be 12) (cannot be auto-corrected)

I'm running default config

id("org.jlleitschuh.gradle.ktlint") version "8.2.0"

plugin during ./gradlew build

Hello people! What is the best way to share the codestyle across IDEs? We currently have to follow https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint#installation but I noticed that after updating it is cumbersome to make everyone update their AS formatting. Any links for making this possible? So people just have to pull from git and that is it 😄

Hi! We have an existing project which uses kotlin and we’re looking to use ktlint for it. However, the existing files are not properly formatted and lint checks fail for them on running

ktlint

task. Is there any way to: 1. whitelist a few files so that checks aren’t run for them? 2. un-whitelist the file once some changes have been made to it? Thanks

Hello everyone! Are any of you having trouble with one of the latest rules introduced? The alphabetical imports one. It can only be fixed by doing

ktlintFormat

and that takes too much time compared to just formatting. I tried updating idea codestyle through ktlint again but it doesn't seem to be included.

Hi! I have a question about a discrepency I'm seeing between KtLint and the IDE when I reformat code. I have a file that has a few lines that are over 100 characters. If I use Android Studio to reformat the file, it will correct all of those - either chunking down parameters or putting assignments on a new line, whatever I need. It appears KtLint doesn't do the same. This came up because we ran KtLint against the entire project hoping to get a "clean slate" more or less with formatting, but now we're finding sometimes that when we use the IDE to reformat entire files are changing again. I was expecting that both formatting tools would give me the same output. I just want to confirm that KtLint doesn't do anything to wrap those long lines? If that's correct, does anyone have recommendations for how I can get more consistency between the two?

Does anyone tries to change the indentation to 2. Please help me here to do the same. I have already change the configuration in .editorconfig but still it’s not working

Hey idk if y'all are familiar with this static analysis plugin but I'm using it as a wrapper to run KtLint and detekt: https://github.com/novoda/gradle-static-analysis-plugin I noticed that when I use this Detekt outputs with a specific color for the error making it is easy to find in our logs but KtLint does not. Is there any flag or configuration I can set to do this? I mentioned that plugin because it might not be easy if I'm not calling KtLint directly.

Hey! Is it possible to run ktlint only on a given set of files? Eg: Something like

./gradlew ktlint {list of files}

?

i need to exclude that rule, but don't know the key

ktlint 0.35.0 released https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint/releases/tag/0.35.0

is there a way to configure intellij to organize imports in lexographic order? i've started getting this warning with ktlint (

Imports must be ordered in lexicographic order without any empty lines in-between

) but don't see how to fix it in intellij

new

ktlint-gradle

release: https://github.com/JLLeitschuh/ktlint-gradle/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#910---2019-11-01 Most notable - support for incremental checks

Hi! My project files are all

ISO-8859-1

enconding. ktlintFormat task converts files with special characters (only) to UTF-8, resulting in

�

. Setting

charset=latin1

in root`s

.editorconfig

made no difference. Does anyone knows how to solve this?

i'm trying to enforce using named parameters in certain scenarios but you can't use those if the function is defined in java so it ends up producing a false positive sometimes. i currently just have a whitelist (for mostly android library code) but wasn't sure if there was a better way

Hey all. I forked the project and made some changes related to continuation indent sizes. After uploading to jitpack and using the binary, I’m getting

Could not find or load main class com.pinterest.ktlint.Main

error. I updated ktlint dependency also. Do I have to update anything else too? Link to forked project: https://github.com/GurpreetSK95/ktlint/tree/gs/continuation-indent

Hey guys having a problem with ktlint in my android project, I posted it on SO, any help is appreciated 👐 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59304531/ktlint-error-in-android-build-with-multiple-flavors

Imports must be ordered in lexicographic order without any empty lines in-between

how do I get Ktlint to automatically fix this error?

Does a rule exist for warning on an unused return value?

Is there a ktlint equivalent of the Android

@IntRange

,

@FloatRange

and

@Size

annotation to validate input parameters ? (https://developer.android.com/studio/write/annotations#value-constraint)

Does anyone know how to use this properly in a docker-compose file to scan an existing project

would anyone be interested in baseline functionality in ktlint? happy to put up a PR but just gauging interest

Is there any intention to fix the issue with

import-ordering

? it feels terrible to go to all the projects of the company adding the exclude to the

.editorconfig

when it's an issue with the rule itself that doesn't work as the IDE

hello! I'm writing a custom Gradle plugin that generates source files and was wondering if there is a way I could automatically exclude them from ktlint check?, e.g. I'm using

org.jlleitschuh.gradle.ktlint

which automatically applies the linter against all source sets. Currently I'm manually configuring

ktlint

task to filter out

generated

sources but was wondering whether there is some better way?

tasks {
    ktlint {
        filter {
            exclude("**/generated/**")
        }
    }
}

e.g. above approach is not ideal as anyone using the plugin will have to add that configuration as well

If I had to guess it's that it's just a bug and not desired behavior. Can you file an issue in GitHub with some examples and we can take a look?

Trying to use ktlint in my Android app. Just found out about it recently and I read through the github.io page. It says "ktlint is a single binary with both linter & formatter included", but what I'm finding hard to understand is how to add it to my android project? I see that in getting started it has command line or gradle. I'm assuming since I have a default android project, I can just use gradle, but I'm still confused on why there are 3 plugins shown, and then a no plugin option. I'm not really sure what I'm looking for here, but maybe because I'm new it's going over my head. In my head, all I want is to run a linter during CI that gives me a report of all the broken rules + I want the IDE to tell me when I broke one of these (like android lint) or at least auto reformat code to these rules (cmd + shift + L in IntelliJ)

Will ktlint indention support different continuation indent size? We have indent 2 continuation 4 and we had to disable indent check for ktlint.

Hi everyone, I’m experimenting an issue with the klint tool and maybe someone could help me. Some rules erase entire contents of some files of my project and I don’t undestand why. ex :

no-blank-line-before-rbrace
no-consecutive-blank-lines
no-trailing-spaces
no-multi-spaces
comment-spacing
...

I’ve configurated the tool with both gradle plugins (https://github.com/jeremymailen/kotlinter-gradle & https://github.com/JLLeitschuh/ktlint-gradle) and the result is the same. Environment : klint : 0.36.0 kotlin version : 1.3.61 gradle : 3.6.1 OS : MacOS 10.15.4 Android Studio : 3.6.1 Thank you in advance for your help.

Anyway to get editorconfig and ktlint to be the same? Or maybe that's a dumb question. Sorry. and pardon my ignorance here. I still don't understand the dis-jointement between ktlint style and my style intellij. I thought using ktlint would unify the style for me and my team, but all it's caused is headaches.

Is there a ktlint rule for minimum empty space after class header? If not would it be easy to write one?
