The formatter joins multiline string on a single line [message #1687681] Thu, 19 March 2015 15:05 Go to next message

Eclipse for PHP Developers
Version: Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2)
Build id: 20150219-0600

When I have something like


$a = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".
     "bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb";


using CTR+SHIF+F results in
$a = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" . "bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb";

Imagine what happens to a long sql statement splitted in a proper way using ctrl+shif+f !!! Evil or Very Mad

I've already taken a look at every option in
preferences->php->code style->formatter
and
preferences->php->editor
and
preferences->General->editors

... but no luck.
hope there is an option other then @formatter:off Confused

Thanks in advance,
Rik

No, now it's not possible to preserve new lines between operators.

OH MY GOSH! It's incredible!
For every string I have to set on and off the format option?! Shocked

What is the criterion used by the decision makers of this "feature"?
What's for, a formatter that change this
$stm = 'CREATE TABLE queue(' . 
   'id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,' . 
   'rec TEXT NOT NULL,' .
   'subject TEXT NOT NULL,' .
   'body TEXT NOT NULL,' .
   'headers TEXT NOT NULL);';


into a single line that need horizontal scroll? (Not in this forum because it's more intelligent than Eclipse)?
$stm = 'CREATE TABLE queue(' . 'id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,' . 'rec TEXT NOT NULL,' . 'subject TEXT NOT NULL,' . 'body TEXT NOT NULL,' . 'headers TEXT NOT NULL);'

I can't do it. I give up.
Do you know a previous version without this problem?
Keplero? Juno? Or I'd better to restore the Indigo version I was using before this bad attemp with Luna?

PS: I suggest to add the option: "Please, don't touch my string!" Very Happy
It will be very appreciated (and will avoid many migrations to Netbeans).

Netbeans haven't as advanced formatter as we now Wink

Two options should fix your problem:
1. Initializer justification
2. Preserve new lines after "." operator

$x = "sdfsdf" .
"sdfsdfsdfsdf" .
"sf";

You can prepare enhancement request on bugzilla. If not I'll do it later.

Yes I know, but in a way, too much advanced could be harmful if its beyond certain limits and becomes annoying! Razz
It's a bit like the linux distros: Ubuntu+Unity it's surely modern and advanced, but just for this reason Ubuntu is now number 2 and Mint Mate is the nr 1.

For me, indigo+PDT was already the top.
I didn't need anything more.
Unfortunately once per decade it's necessary to upgrade (e.g. new php features not supported) and that's why I'm here with Luna... but I knew in advance that this migration it would be full of complications and basically nothing better because I didn't need another formatter, GTK graphics, etc.... by the way: gtk theme on Mint + NVidia sucks: when I try to move tabs it flicker both monitor and every windows. I've found a solution and I reported on my wiki
Eclipse Luna speed up and fix flickering

OK, I'm going to try this solution first.

Thanks for you mega-help in any case.

Ehm... I don't even find those options. I exported everything in xml to search the key words in a text editor, but I don't find them.
Is it in the PHP formatter or somewhere else? I continue to search...

Uhm... maybe I misunderstood and
1. Initializer justification
2. Preserve new lines after "." operator
is what I have to ask as enhancement request on bugzilla? Rolling Eyes

Hmm something like: "Improve string concat formatting" + example in description should be enough Wink

I didn't understand if
1. Initializer justification
2. Preserve new lines after "." operator
is something already existing or is what I have to ask for.

This is a potential way how this could be implemented. Ignore this Wink

Ah ok. Have you any idea how many centuries it will take to be realised?

... and any chance for a workaround (in the meantime) to have the PHP code formatter behaving like the HTML one, wrapping the strings in a way I don't have to scroll horizontally?

Any workaround to remove completely the format rules on the code, but the indentation?
I actually prefer no code formatting except the indentation that helps when I loose manual control and there is a } that don't mach something.
Just as it was PDT 3.1
