formatting is completely mangling a few files, see...

# detekt

formatting is completely mangling a few files, seems to be related to Mockk lambdas, maybe. Is there a way to just turn off formatting completely for a file? I tried // ktlint-disable just after the package declaration, but that didn’t work

you should be able to exclude files for a gradle task

I made this for myself:

[Endre Deak]

# build.gradle.kts

val excludeFilesFromFormatChecking = listOf("fileToExclude1", "fileToExclude2", "...")

tasks.withType<FormatTask> { exclude { f -> excludeFilesFromFormatChecking.any { p -> f.name.contains(p) } } }
tasks.withType<LintTask> { exclude { f -> excludeFilesFromFormatChecking.any { p -> f.name.contains(p) } } }
tasks.withType<Detekt> { exclude { f -> excludeFilesFromFormatChecking.any { p -> f.name.contains(p) } } }

I use the kotlinter plugin

if i run ktlint on the file directly, it does not mangle it

[Eric]

it is definitely the mockk lambdas messing up the formatting. the mangling for each file starts in a block like this:

[Eric]

it is the indentation rule. i can suppress w/

@file:Suppress("Indentation")

on the test classes that use every { … } just runs

[Eric]

fixed by putting each of those function arguments on a separate line like this:

every {
    kafkaProducer.synchronousSend(
        Topics.query.sourcing,
        match { it.orderNumber == report.lastOrder().orderNumber },
        capture(producedValue)
    )
} just Runs

tried to create a minimal project to reproduce, but couldn’t get it to happen w/ a simple test case
