In a JSP mode file, if I type { at the end of a line, I correctly get the corresponding } immediately after it.
If I then hit Enter, the closing } is indented, but it’s indented one level too far out (to the left).
I’m on the Sublime 3 dev build, latest one I think. It’s a fairly recent regression. It seems to be limited to JSP as far as I can tell; Java and JavaScript files are fine, as is Clojure mode (though I’m less picky there).
Are you using the default Sublime Text syntax? You can open issue for it on: https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/issues
you can provide exact reproduction steps please? i.e. share some code that we can type to see this happen
The JSP syntax and indenation rules haven’t been changed for 7 months, but the HTML indentation rules were changed 3 months ago, maybe the bug you are experiencing is related to that
Type some stuff, like for example some JSON:
"foo": {
After typing the “{”, the editor will automatically add the matching “}”, so you’ll have
"foo": {}
with the cursor positioned between the braces. If I then hit the Enter key, I get
"foo": {
}
instead of
"foo": {
}super, thanks, I was able to replicate this in the normal HTML syntax in build 3142.
It looks like it is because the HTML syntax will only indent the next line when the { is the first non-whitespace char on the line https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/blob/54340707ecbf7de99ab5b02b9414258bd27ed403/HTML/Miscellaneous.tmPreferences#L29, and of course it unindents the }, so it currently unindents when it didn’t indent.
It looks like the fix is to add a .* before the \{[^}"']*$ pattern.
