Hi 👋 We’re struggling with the Kotlin upgrade since version 0.36.0. KtLint is the only blocker that’s left for us to upgrade Kotlin to 1.4. We used to have an indent of 2 spaces with a continuation indent of 4 spaces. KtLint doesn’t support the continuation indent anymore, so we changed it to 2 spaces as well to make our life easier. Nonetheless, we still run into quite a few indent issues. I’ve tested the latest snapshot

0.40.0

and filed three tickets: https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint/issues/963 https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint/issues/964 https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint/issues/965 There are quite a few open indentation issues and they might be duplicates. I also saw some fixes in

0.40.0

. Is there a timeline when to expect a new release? Thanks!

I know I've still had a good amount of issues using editorconfig and ktlint. The editorconfig rules just don't seem to match up or work. According to this editorconfig is fixed? "The last kotlin specific feature is that Intellij idea now has full support for kotlin in editforconfig files" 👀

ktlint doesn’t object to private or internal classes (or functions, or properties…) that aren’t used anywhere; is anyone aware of a linter that can be configured to fail the check for unused code?

I have run into a weird situation. I have a file that i 100% know is violating

filename

rule. But ktlint is not reporting this to me. However my colleague just ran into this violation. I am on macOS, he is on Linux (not sure if this matters). Version: 0.40.0 Any ideas what I could try to debug/fix this issue?

The README suggests installing ktlint in

/usr/local/bin

, meaning that all your projects need to be on the same ktlint version. Now you probably don't want to include the

ktlint

binary in every repo, but what about a Gradle-wrapper like script that downloads the ktlint binary? Would that be something the repository might want to provide?

Hey! Anyone running in the same issue when trying to run

Hi, is there an idiomatic way to wrap/format an extension function with a long name and no arguments? For example:

fun Validated<Nel<Violation>, Field<List<MyReallyLongObjectTypeName>>>.validate(): Validated<Nel<Violation>, Field<List<MyOtherReallyLongObjectTypeName>>> {

Most places cause a violation with ktlint, I'm wondering if a suppression for it is the best option for readability.

Hello folks, I am wondering if the maintainers could shed some light on https://github.com/detekt/detekt/pull/3317#issuecomment-750928816 for the strategy to impose ordering on specific rules. The ordering complicates ordering and reporting in my understanding.

Hi, I implemented ktlint in old multi module project with baseline, but it generates a baseline file for each module. Is there any way to generate only one baseline file for all modules?

Hi, I am implementing ktlint in our kmm app and works to some degree. But seeing some weird behaviour. Strangely, this is allowed

data class DeviceMeasurementStatus(
    val sensorType: DeviceSensorType,
    val measurementMessage:
        String,
    val measurementState: MeasurementState
)

but not this:

data class DeviceMeasurementStatus(
    val sensorType: DeviceSensorType,
    val measurementMessage:
    String,
    val measurementState: MeasurementState
)

Shouldn’t both these formatting be flagged as an error?

Hey! I’m curious what the fastest way would be to run ktlint (as pre-push/commit script) in order to keep the “dev flow” interruption as short as possible. Am I right assuming that running it as a standalone tool would be the fastest approach? I feel like running this as a gradle task takes too much time due to gradle’s `configuration`tasks etc.

New ktlint-gradle

10.0.0

release (slightly delayed due to non-working Github action): https://github.com/JLLeitschuh/ktlint-gradle/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#1000---20210209 Under-the-hood contains a lot of changes that opens a door to future improvements, but update should be easy. You should see runtime improvements in multimodule project from a clean state on running

ktlintCheck

(

ktlintFormat

) tasks, but slightly higher runtime in single module project (this should be addressed in the next release).

Hi 👋 , I’m having some issues with the ktlint and gradle remote build cache. The build cache key for the

ktlintCheck

task is always different between our CI (Linux) and my machine (MacOS) for the exact same code. What could be causing this?

Hello, 👋 Does anyone knows if is possible to run the auto-correct (

./gradlew ktlintFormat

) only in a selected file or package? Thank you 🙂

Hello :android-wave:, I'm looking to contribute to ktlint, Can anyone let me know how to get started and setup project and please let me know any first issues to get onboarded.

I’m trying to install ktlint but I guess openjdk is having some problem

brew install ktlint

Hi folks 🙂 I have a question about how to define the import layout since 0.41.0. Previously I had

kotlin_imports_layout = idea

in my

.editorconfig

, which is deprecated now. If I change that to

ij_kotlin_imports_layout = *,java.**,javax.**,kotlin.**,^

like suggested in the deprecation message, the linting with KTLint fails because of wrong import ordering. If I let ktlint format my source files it formats the imports alphabetically. I'm using one of the gradle plugins (https://github.com/jlleitschuh/ktlint-gradle) mentioned in the README to integrate ktlint into my project. Does anyone have any ideas? 🤔

Hi! Just testing ktlint for the first time. I am getting some weird encoding errors when I open the report with VSCode. A lot of

[90m

and similar characters:

[90m/Users/henning.bunk/repos/work/wetter-app/[0mbuild.gradle.kts[90m:[0m38[90m:9:[0m Missing space after //

Any idea how to get rid of them? I am on Mac and execute ktlint via gradle

updated to the latest version of ktlint and it seems to be formatting class definitions differently now. e.g. class something : some1( param1, param2 ), some2 { now has to be: class something : some1( param1, param2 ), some2 { which one is really correct?

Hello 👋 I’m getting a message of no java heap space

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:runKtlintCheckOverMainSourceSet'.
> A failure occurred while executing org.jlleitschuh.gradle.ktlint.worker.KtLintWorkAction

I found this issue with a possible solution but I still can’t make it work… where should I add it? Thanks in advance

Hi guys, do you know if there is any rule to check if the new classes and methods have comments?.

Hey guys, we recently updated from ktlint

0.39.0

to

0.41.0

and it seems like the rules for string indentation have changed (code in thread). Can we get the old behavior back somehow and does someone know the reasoning behind this change?

I am relativly new to ktlint, currently ktlint blocks an upgrade to kotlin 1.5 because of value classes. is there a prospect when this kind of bugs usually gets fixed? Not wanting to make pressure, just for planning my next steps.

I'm writing a detekt rule, and I'm trying to get autocorrect working with it, but

indentSize

always ends up being 2. Is there an easy way to get the correct

indentSize

or does it have to be calculated each time based on the

PsiElement/ASTNode

and where it's positioned in the file?

Hello, we’re attempting to upgrade to ktlint 0.41, and are seeing extremely slow performance compared to 0.39 or 0.40-- earlier versions would run through a file in a second or so, but 0.41 is taking closer to a minute. Any ideas what might be going wrong? This is running directly over 1 small file

Is there a way to deactivate the max-line-length check for a specific line (via annotation perhaps)?

ktlint 0.42.0 released https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint/releases/tag/0.42.0

Hey Guys, I'm working on a intelij's plugin project which uses KotlinPoet and generates files. Problem is that generated files are unformatted and really ugly to look at. Can I use ktlint to apply formatting to newly generated files?
