Add meson as formatter
Add meson as formatter
Since meson 1.5.0 meson has a format subcommand, see here
This is still WIP, as the formatter doesn't accept stdin via "-" atm. See https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/13791
Super excited for this!
Me too, but still figuring out, what the best way of doing this is.
I never managed to create an issue in meson, since some things don't work as expected. With muon you can use "-" as file and it reads from stdin, but with meson this doesn't work yet. I looked into the source code, but it's more complicated, since you have more options, can have multiple file and other more complicated things. It would be nice, If we would Be able to discuss this over there, and see what the best solution for that would be, as for now, in meson v1.5.0 I tried "/dev/stdin" and "/dev/fd/0" But they worked only in a interactive terminal and not in the extension 😓
You are also a contributor in meson, so maybe you have an idea how to do this in a way, that is already supported in v1.5.0 and we should create an issue there, so that it would be supported in a better way, than through a hack 🤔
Edit: I created https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/13791
Since meson v1.7.0 released today, this now works, there are two version checks in the code atm, since only >=1.7.0 supports the needed feature, to use the stdin. I tried several ways to "polyfill" this behavior in >=1.5.0 < 1.7.0 but didn't succeed.
Feel free to try this, it should work as expected.
