Incorrect formatting for long annotations

[vgarg]

In case of long annotations e.g.

@Bean(with="foo", many="bar", arguments="baz", so={"that", "this", "line", "is", "long"})

The formatter automatically line wraps it as:

@Bean(
  with = "foo",
  many = "bar",
  arguments = "baz",
  so = {"that", "this", "line", "is", "long"}
)

The issue is that the wrapped lines are indented using 2 spaces instead of 4 as described in the Google Java Styles:
When line-wrapping, each line after the first (each continuation line) is indented at least +4 from the original line

This conflicts with CheckStyle plugin that we use as part of our Maven build. CheckStyle complains: 'with' has incorrect indentation level 2, expected level should be 4. (16:0)

You're right, this conflict exists, and we have been needing to sort it out. In the meantime I would highly recommend relaxing the lint check to tolerate this.

Thanks @kevinb9n . We will work around for now. Any projection on when it may be fixed e.g. days, weeks, months etc.?

The issue is hitting us harder because we have adopted the Google Style within our large organization. There are a number of teams and relaxing the lint check means rolling out updates to the google_checks.xml to all the developers for their IDEs as well as to build systems, which are managed independently.

No need to have multiple parameters to reproduce this issue.
You may have only one.

@Parent(
  params = {
    @Child(value = "Let's put here a really long string to demonstrate the issue. Really long.")
  }
)
public class Test {}

+1 we're bitten by this as well >_<

Also being affected by this one, I'm using google_checks.xml how do I relax the linting?

[stv8]

@vgarg What was your solution to relaxing the lint?

[rafaeljcg]

Is this issue fixed? I'm still seeing inconsistencies in the following scenario:

@Parent({
  @Child(value = "Let's put here a really long string to demonstrate the issue. Really long.")
})
public class Test {}

'@' has incorrect indentation level 2, expected level should be 4.

This is formatted correctly, though:

@Parent(
    value = {
      @Child(value = "Let's put here a really long string to demonstrate the issue. Really long.")
    })
public class Test {}
