Using detekt + ktlint I'm used to using the Android Studio shortcuts to format a file to fix basic issues. After attempting to upgrade to 1.10.0 this no longer seems to fix the new Indentation issue being reported. If a file format command doesn't fix that we can't reasonably upgrade our projects. Any ideas?

I have faced this problem too. I found some posts suggesting I should change my code style “continuation indent” to 4 (from the default 8 ) but this wasn’t enough for me… So I ended up with a couple of // @formatter:off tags 😓

This problem is related with ktlint instead of detekt. Anyway, if you want continuation indent of 4 you can use .editorconfig and set continuation_indent_size = 4

[Brais Gabin]

In 1.10.0 we updated to the last version of ktlint that have a new indentation algorithm. You should probably need some configuration in your IDE or ktlint

[pedro]

I just wanted the IDE and ktlint to agree on the code style 👼 I couldn’t make intellij format the same way that ktlint wants.

(I haven’t seen anything saying the problem is caused by detekt)

[Charles]

Yeah, I knew it was ktlint causing it, and figured it was the continuation indent. I'll check that editor config

Adding an editor config file with that set, and/or turning off the rule per that link isn't helping

[Brais Gabin]

What’s the problem exactly?

[Charles]

That new Indentation rule is still showing up everywhere

[Brais Gabin]

That’s normal. If you don’t want that rule you should disable it from the detekt config (if you uses ktlint through detetk)

[Brais Gabin]

The new indentation in ktlint is much more aggresive

[Brais Gabin]

If you don’t like it you need to disable it.

[Brais Gabin]

And, if you want the old one, you need to use an old version of ktlint because they removed the old algorithm from it’s code base

[Charles]

I definitely want the rule. And I have the detekt config set up with the same indent/continuation sizes as before. But the report seems to indicate that those sizes aren't making it to ktlint

[Brais Gabin]

I recommend you to run detekt in format mode so it fixes all the problems. Then it should work.
