Good afternoon. Question on an indentation rule: I have some code that looks like this:

val contactRequest = contactRequestPersistence.getContactRequest<SendMailContactAttemptCmd>(command.mailerEventId)
            ?: """
                Error processing ${...}
                ${...} does not exist
                """.trimIndent()
                .run {
                    logger.error { this }
                    throw IllegalStateException(this)
                }

And it’s complaining about the line “”".trimIndent() needing to be indented less indented:

val contactRequest = contactRequestPersistence.getContactRequest<SendMailContactAttemptCmd>(command.mailerEventId)
            ?: """
                Error processing ${...}
                ${...} does not exist
            """.trimIndent()
                .run {
                    logger.error { this }
                    throw IllegalStateException(this)
                }

This looks like new behavior in 0.42.1? I’d want those to be be aligned (like the first example). How could I configure ktlint accordingly?

How do I deactivate rules? I get a lot of false positives and therefore want to exlude some rules. I created a file named

.editorconfig

in the top level of my project with the contents

# Don't autoformat this file, IntelliJ adds forbidden spaces
root=true

[*.{kt,kts}]
disabled_rules=indent,max-line-length
insert_final_newline=true

But indent and max line length is still checked.

Hello, how can I enforce a line after a class definition and no horizontal line between properties in class. Thanks

Hello! I created custom Ktlint rule which works perfectly, but sometimes I want to suppress it. I tried

// ktlint-disable my-custom-rule

and also

/* ktlint-disable my-custom-rule */
...this should not fail
/* ktlint-enable my-custom-rule */

But it does not work. Please, is there any way how to suppress my custom rule? Thank you!

Is it possible to have a rule that disallows all use of

!!

?

Hello! Can we add

hacktoberfest

label to ktlint repository? 🙂

Hi! I'm noticing different behavior around the

import-ordering

rule between ktlint and ktlint-gradle (gradle wrapper). Specifically around the ordering of java/javax/kotlin and aliases: ktlint 0.42.1

Imports must be ordered in lexicographic order without any empty lines in-between with "java", "javax", "kotlin" and aliases in the end

JLLeitschuh/ktlint-gradle wrapper 10.2.0 using ktlint 0.42.1

Imports must be ordered in lexicographic order without any empty lines in-between (import-ordering)

Any idea what could be causing this discrepancy? The gradle wrapper `ktlintCheck`/`ktlintFormat` tasks aren't respecting the latter part of the rule around java/javax/kotlin + alias imports going at the end. Seems to have been added into ktlint around 0.42 based on some closed issues in the repo.

Hi.

ij_kotlin_imports_layout = *,^

and

ij_kotlin_imports_layout = *, ^

the config with the space after the comma I’ve got the erorr message

Imports must be ordered according to the pattern specified in .editorconfig

for aliases at the end of the import section. Are spaces between the comma separated list not allowed? thx.

Hi everyone, when I integrate Ktlint to my project and testing it. I found that this coding convention from Kotlin (here) not detect by the Ktlint. What I had try is to add the

companion object

at the beginning of the class, which should be at the end of the class, and it pass. I don’t know if I miss understand about the Ktlint, from what I understand is that Ktlint out of the box check the Kotlin convention too. If it’s not, do you have any suggestion about any tools I can use to follow Kotlin convention like I mentioned before? Thanks I’m using the Ktlint gradle plugin here

Hi everyone! We're looking into adopting

ktlint 0.43.0

for the nice new rules, but this version has not been published yet on

brew

😞 Could I help out in getting it published on

brew

in any way? 🙂 Thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone, does anyone know how to make android studio recognize ktlint errors and reformat according to ktlint? I’ve tried running

ktlint --apply-to-idea-project

but i’ve not seen any difference I want the behavihour I get from the unnoficial ktlint android studio plugin but without installing it. Is this posible? How do you integrate ktlint in your workflow? I feel that running

ktlint

manually and seeing the errors and warnings in the console is cumbersome. I would much prefer to see it in the android studio warnings as shown in the screenshot.

Hi everyone, does anyone know the convention for declaring typealiases in this case? I declared a single typealias in a file named TypeAliasUtils.kt but ktlint demands that the file should be named identical to the typealias I declared. Does this mean that I have to create different files for every typealias I declare? that seems a bit inefficient Any sort of advice or reading material is welcome thanks!!

I have updated all my outstanding PR's. Conflicts have been resolved and questions and remarks have been addressed. It would be wonderful, if they would get merged.

I now have access rights to add existing labels to issues. I am not able to create new labels though. Can I be honoured with that right as well. Or is somebody willing to create labels at request. First one would be "java16+".

@Sha Sha Chu Can you please add labels below? Tnx • parameter-list-wrapping rule • import-ordering rules

We have a kind of policy that the output that is generated by ktlint should be accepted without any further changes by the default IntelliJ code formatter. Although I do understand this policy, I do not always like it. Sometimes, the IntelliJ code formatter just formats code in a way which is clearly wrong or not consistent with what a user is expecting. Even though we would be able to produce nicer and consistent code, we avoid doing so as IntelliJ would reformat that code once more. This could end up in an endless cycle in which IntellIiJ and KtLint are reformatting the code over and over again. But is it really a valid assumption that both ktlint and IntelliJ code formatting are used within the same code base? Can't we expect that if project chooses KtLint to format its code, that IntelliJ code formatting no longer should be applied? @Sha Sha Chu @romtsn @tapchicoma

Hi everyone, do you know if there's a way to set indent for the custom getter and setter functions so that ktlint would stop complaining about the incorrect Android Studio indentation? That's how Android Studio formats the code:

private var savedAdapterState: PerformanceSpinnerSelections? =
        savedStateHandle.get<PerformanceSpinnerSelections>(SAVED_ADAPTER_STATE)
        set(value) {
            field = value
            savedStateHandle.set(SAVED_ADAPTER_STATE, value)
        }

That's how ktlint thinks it should be:

private var savedAdapterState: PerformanceSpinnerSelections? =
        savedStateHandle.get<PerformanceSpinnerSelections>(SAVED_ADAPTER_STATE)
        set(value) {
                field = value
                savedStateHandle.set(SAVED_ADAPTER_STATE, value)
            }

That's how I think it should be:

private var savedAdapterState: PerformanceSpinnerSelections? =
        savedStateHandle.get<PerformanceSpinnerSelections>(SAVED_ADAPTER_STATE)
            set(value) {
                field = value
                savedStateHandle.set(SAVED_ADAPTER_STATE, value)
            }

The problem happens when a property is too long and wraps to a second line.

Hey team, what is your roadmap regarding open PRs?

Can you please create an issue for it in the github project?

Hi All, 👋 @tapchicoma and I have been the primary maintainers of the ktlint-gradle plugin. Actually, honestly, @tapchicoma has been doing most of the work on the plugin for the past few years. Unfortunately, over the past few years, my personal ability to maintain the plugin has gone from actively writing to simply reviewing external contributions. @tapchicoma also has limited time of-late. However, I'm finding that I have limited time for even that these days. I'm not completely stepping away from the ktlint-gradle project, but what I am seeking is others to step in and help maintain the plugin. I'm looking for individuals who are interested in potentially taking on a larger role in the plugin's maintenance. I'd greatly appreciate assistance reviewing pull-requests and eventually passing along the tasks of cutting a release to others. I'm a security software engineer, so I understand the risks of just handing off a project to a stranger (eg. the event-stream), so I'm looking for someone to develop a rapport with. Please feel free to reach out if you're interested in getting involved with the project. Or simply start reviewing PRs or providing support on issues. Any support at this point would be greatly appreciated.

is there a way to check line endings with ktlint? specifically, I'd like to ensure within the checking process that all files end with LF. I'm aware of some behavior during formatting that .editorconfig is respected (https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint/issues/225), but I'd like to have it verified during checking

hi @mateusz.kwiecinski - would you be able to file some issues on the github? just so it's tracked. thanks for the feedback

Anyone else having issues running kt lint? Have been seeing this occur for about a day now

I have created a PR which allows to write the unit tests of a KtLint rule in a more fluent style based on the AssertJ library we already use for that. This PR is likely to be exposed as part of the ktlint-test public API. Any early feedback is appreciated.

How to disable ktlint rule for Missing newline after ":" and Missing newline after "," Please help. I am also having the same problem.

I did some searching, but does anyone have a quick link/suggestion on how to configure

ktlint

to use the formatting rules that are default to Android Studio and used by the Android Studio formatter?

Have you thought about moving the gradle plugin to the main repo? https://github.com/JLLeitschuh/ktlint-gradle In the readme it’s explicitly stated that the recommended integration is that gradle plugin and as that one seems to struggle: https://github.com/JLLeitschuh/ktlint-gradle/issues/569 it might make sense to add that functionality directly to ktlint
