Formatter does not obey some whitespace settings

[anttiah]

Issue Description

The powershell.codeFormatting.WhitespaceInsideBrace setting has no effect and formatter adds whitespaces regardless of its value.

This has been around since 2019.9.0. I was hoping it would get fixed in this release but it didn't.

AFAIK, this one has nothing to do with the pipeline indentation issues reported earlier and should not be treated as a duplicate of any of those.

Steps to reproduce

Set
"powershell.codeFormatting.WhitespaceInsideBrace": false

Type into the editor
& {0}

Format document (Alt + Shift + F)

Expected behaviour

& {0}
No whitespace gets added inside braces.

Actual, incorrect behavior

& { 0 }
Note the added whitespace after the { and before the }.

Notes

This is basically a duplicate of #2245 but it got closed with erroneous information before I found it and managed to comment.

@anttiah thanks for opening this issue and providing repo steps! I am having some trouble reproducing this issue after our latest release--it would be great to know what your settings.json looks like. It would also be helpful to know if you are using the PowerShell Extension or our preview version of the PowerShell Extension?

Hi @SydneyhSmith thank you for your prompt response. I'm using release version:

vscode-powershell Release History
v2019.12.0
Thursday, December 12, 2019
PowerShellEditorServices
🐛 👮‍ PowerShellEditorServices #1102 - Add PSAvoidAssignmentToAutomaticVariable to the default set of PSSA rules. (Thanks @bergmeister!)
🐛 👮‍ vscode-PowerShell #2214 - Fix PipelineIndentationStyle configuration issue. (Thanks @bergmeister!)

Before my tests I deleted directories ~\.vscode and ~\AppData\Roaming\Code and installed just the vscode-powershell extension. The only item in my settings.json is the one mentioned in the repro steps.

HTH

Thanks for the additional information @anttiah I am able to reproduce this in our "stable" PowerShell extension but not in the PowerShell Preview extension...we recently published an update to our Preview Extension which has addressed a number of underlying architectural issues, would you mind giving it a try and letting us know if you are still hitting this issue? The good news is that we expect these changes to hit our "stable" PowerShell extension in our next release

@bergmeister did we cherry pick this poorly again 😅

[anttiah]

@SydneyhSmith Does not happen with the preview version.

Don't know if this is just a typo or cherry pick related but I noticed that preview version writes the powershell.codeFormatting.whitespaceInsideBrace line into settings.json with lower case w whereas release version writes it with upper case W -> powershell.codeFormatting.WhitespaceInsideBrace. Neither of the versions, relase or preview, accept the different casing produced by the other version.

This issue is being closed as inactive, if this issue is still occurring it will be re-opened

Issue is still occurring.
