.editorconfig settings not passed to VS Code Language Server in Format Document request
Please fill-in this template.
- [x] I have a question that is specific to this extension; thus, inappropriate for the main EditorConfig issue tracker.
- [n/a] I tried running
code --disable-extensions
and the issue did NOT present itself.
Issue
Visual Studio Code | editorconfig-vscode | |

Root .editorconfig
File
root = true
[*]
indent_style = tab
indent_size = 5
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
insert_final_newline = true
Are there any other relevant .editorconfig
files in your project? No
Expected behavior
When issuing a Format Document command, the settings above all translate into FormattingOptions passed to a Language Server in VS Code.
Actual behavior
Only the following settings are passed through:
"options": {
"tabSize": 5,
"insertSpaces": false
}
Additional comments or steps to reproduce
See microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node#795 for additional context.
I think that the primary issue is how this extension implements the formatting. The extension uses pre-save transformations, instead of being implemented as a formatter. The pre-save transformations do not communicate the additional FormattingOptions
, which is why only the two that are part of the TextEditorOptions
work.
I am not sure of the implications or feasibility of converting the extension to be used as a formatter instead of the current pre-save transformations. I am going to look into it some more, but I am not sure if it is possible or how long it would take to make the changes.
