Saved .tf file is messed up with regards to tabs and space
madchap opened this issue · 7 comments
Hi,
When using the plugin, doing a <tab> seems to translate to a <space>. However, looking at the file without the plugin, we see that it was not written like that; <tab> are <tab>, and it is nasty.
It seems then the plugin is only doing a visual thing.
Is that by design?
Thank you.
Can you show me what you're seeing please with specifically the following ~/.vimrc (1)
set nu
set ruler
set list
set listchars=eol:⏎,tab:▶·,trail:.,nbsp:.,extends:\#
then again with (2)
execute pathogen#infect()
set nu
set ruler
set list
set listchars=eol:⏎,tab:▶·,trail:.,nbsp:.,extends:\#
let g:terraform_align=0
let g:terraform_fmt_on_save=0
and finally with (3)
execute pathogen#infect()
set nu
set ruler
set list
set listchars=eol:⏎,tab:▶·,trail:.,nbsp:.,extends:\#
let g:terraform_align=1
let g:terraform_fmt_on_save=1
(1)
(2)
(3)
Will do as soon as I have a second... meanwhile, I can provide my current vimrc: https://github.com/madchap/dotfiles/blob/master/dotfiles/vimrc
Hi,
Only pasting 1 screenshot, as all results look alike after re-sourcing vimrc and reloading file? (not using pathogen, removed that command out, it gave an error anyway).
The piece below is one that really got the tabs messed, as I guess we can see with the many tabs symbols. The end results through a cat look like this:
With .vimrc 1, 2 and 3 looking the exactly the same:
So my original thought is: why aren't tabs just converted to spaces like it seems to be the best practice nowadays?
I realized I was missing the basic expandtab setup line in my vimrc, so I added this:
set tabstop=4 shiftwidth=4 expandtab and :retab the file.
After touching up on a few places, it seems to behave as expected.
The mistake was clearly on my side. Sorry about the noise, and thanks for looking at it anyways.
Have a good 2019.
