Zugg Software :: View topic - [3.27] [Fixed in 3.28] Reformatting isn't being done properly

The second #if should not be indented like it is, but it is being left indented erroneously.

Reformat this:

Is this a change from previous versions? I'll add this to the bug list, but I don't consider this a major issue. Especially since reformat issues should have been reported months and months ago.

It was working properly, but it changed with 3.27.

Actually, testing this now in v3.16 shows the same issue. The only thing that changed is 3.27 is the // comments no longer get indented. But the second #IF statement remains indented.

Edited: Even trying v2.37 the second #IF remains indented. So this has been a problem for a long time.

Hmm, perhaps I just noticed it now since the // comments just changed. I've been frustrated today editing my scripts because all my comments now need to be adjusted manually, so I was probably mistaken on the issue listed in this post due to the other reformatting change.

I recall you saying that the reformatting code is very complex. Perhaps if the reformatting simply adjusted the indentation it could be made more manageable. For my part the thing I most desire from it is the auto-indentation. This is also very similar to the other editors I'm familiar with which have similar auto-indentation features.

You cannot perform reformatting without a full language parser. Just doing auto-indentation is not easy. The editors that do it are doing it for languages that have a well defined language that can be easily parsed. zScript is not as easy to parse.

Confirmed fixed in 3.28.
