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

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)

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

What’s the problem exactly?

That new Indentation rule is still showing up everywhere

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

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

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