Indenting consistent with Rstudio

Open dlebauer opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

This looks very helpful it does not indent the lines that it does in the same way that Rstudio or emacs ESS does by default.

For example, this line:

old.priors <- db.query(paste("select prior_id from pfts_priors where pft_id =", parent.pft.id, ";"), con = con)

is converted to tidy_source() as

old.priors <- db.query(paste("select prior_id from pfts_priors where pft_id =", 
    parent.pft.id, ";"), con = con)

while Rstudio converts it to

  old.priors <- db.query(paste("select prior_id from pfts_priors where pft_id =", 
                               parent.pft.id, ";"), con = con)

the Rstudio way makes it easier to see that the arguments on line 2 are arguments to the paste functions.

Is there a way around this? I've reviewed many isues in this repository and suspect that the answer is 'no' but couldn't find a reference to this in particular.

You are (unfortunately) correct -- the answer is no. All tidy_source() magic comes from deparse(). Since deparse() cannot do this, neither can tidy_source().
