I am trying to introduce local variable and IDEA breaks my formatting, what i doing wrong?
I have tried cntrl+enter at end of line and cntrl+alt+v.
Go to settings->Editor->Code style->Java-> Wrapping and braces at the Keep when formatting section enable line breaks.

Intellij formatter has something I hate very much and can't figure out a way to disable.
when pressing ctrl+alt+l to format code all my single line ifs without parentheses goes to one line
something like
if(true)
System.out.println("yes");
goes:
if(true) System.out.println("yes");
the multiline ifs with braces keep the original formatting but i hate very much this behavior... does anyone know how to change it?
Go to Settings/Preferences | Code Style | Java | Wrapping and Braces | Keep when reformatting and enable Line breaks option.
Intellij keeps formatting my spotbugs.yml file incorrectly, and so breaking the github action.
I cannot figure out why it's doing this:
It was working fine last week, I haven't made any changes to the formatting config, but now, every time I change focus from the file Intellij auto-formats like this, then saves it. How can I fix it?
The thing I don't get is what it's formatting to appears to be invalid yaml, right?
YAML has a syntax that makes it incompatible with indentation that is not 2 spaces. With 4 spaces, you have:
droggel:
jug:
- sequence item: with indentation
this line: isn't aligned to four spaces
nor are further indented lines:
if you indent relative four spaces
spam:
- same: problem
without: indenting the sequence item
This makes it hard for code formatters to get it right. Proper alignment would mean:
droggel:
jug:
- three spaces after the sequence item indicator.
that's horrible, nobody does that.
spam:
- alternatively this.
nobody does this either and it breaks
- - with nested sequences
I assume some bug in IntelliJ causes the formatter to be confused because of this. Generally it would be better to just use 2 space indentation which seems far more natural due to the problems described above. That should avoid confusing the formatter.
I'm using IDEA 13.0.1. A unit test is failing because of some line separator stuff. But when I try to compare the two results, IDEA says "Contents have differences only in line separators".
And I can't find a setting where I can say show me these differences. Is there one?
I ran into the same issue, I couldn't find a way to show the difference by clicking show differences, but if you put a break point and look at the strings, they have the line separator written out. For me one string had \n and one had \r\n. \r is also a possible line separator.
I ran into the same problem recently. I found a workaround for it, is not that pretty but did the job:
yourString.replaceAll("\n", "").replaceAll("\r", "");
The key is in what #user1633977 said.
To solve this problem, always use System.lineSeparator() to create your separators. That way they will always be the same and will be OS-independant.
(Remember that different OS can use different symbols as line separators).
In a normal situation it's possible to look at the line number and use [number]G to goto that line. But I like to work with the setting relativenumber on. The disadvantage is that I can't jump to lines anymore by looking at the displayed line number.
Is it possible to redefine the behavior of [number]G to fix this? Also, would it be possible to make the current line number 1 instead of 0 with relativenumber on? And how?
You can simply [number]j or [number]k to do this.
I've made some function that generates an email template. Code it generates is pure HTML with CSS. Problem is compiler does this odd error and highlights each time '#' sign appears which is needed to define colors in CSS. I did try to change '#' to '/pound/' and then string.Replace() on RETURN but no luck. I'm more into C# so there i can escape special characters by using '\' before them but something f$#$ed up there... Once i remove '#' all back to normal and compiles well.
Any guesses ?
btw, i'm using StringBuilder to generate lines of code with sb.Append().
ie.
sb.Append("<div style=""color:#333"">some text</div>")
I think it's a bug,
to reproduce it I used VB.NET 2 (VS 2005), I wrote your instruction:
sb.Append("<div style=""color:#333"">some text</div>")
no problem,
I added some extra " to have the error message you got,
I then fixed everything, all errors disappeared except yours.
Solution: Delete that line, error disappeared, ctrl-z (undo) --> all ok!
I was receiving this same exact error and was able to simply copy the line, delete the line out, re-add a new line, and paste.
