IntelliJ plugin doesn't respect max line length setting.

[pardom]

The IntelliJ plugin does not provide an option to consume max_line_length as FormattingOptions.maxWidth in UiFormatter. Thus we cannot synchronize the IDE with the overridden setting in our build script:

spotless {
    kotlin {
        ktfmt("0.40").kotlinlangStyle().configure { optionsConfiguration ->
            optionsConfiguration.setMaxWidth(120)
        }
    }
}

KtfmtConfigurable.form should provide an option to respect the Hard wrap at setting in Preferences > Editor > Code Style or max_line_length option in .editorconfig.

Definitely interested to see if this is something that would be considered. The discrepancy between IDE and linter is one of the main issues my team has with ktlint (our current style tool). We're considering ktfmt to replace it but I can't convince others to change our max line width to 100 (as required by ktfmt). Spotless gets around this but then we have the issue of the IDE plugin clashing with build script tooling.

This would be very useful.

I'm quite confident this is fixed in the latest version. Please reopen if otherwise

@hick209 I'm not sure how I can make the IntelliJ plugin to respect the max line width setting set by spotless or ktfmt-gradle.

@mateherber-jt, oh so the issue persist even at 0.50? Interesting...
Long shot from my end, as I don't really know much about how Spotless and IJ formatting works, but have you tried using .editorconfig? I wonder if that's the missing piece of the puzzle

[greyhairredbear]

As far as I understand from working on the plugin and looking into the ktfmt step for spotless, both use ktfmt as a direct dependency, but configure it in two different locations (IJ settings vs gradle file).

I think the easiest way to implement this would be allowing to set that value directly in the config form - if that is something that should be configurable. Not sure how much effort it would require to implement reading the max line length value from an .editorconfig file or from the IJ code style settings. Also, I'm unsure if that would actually be sensible. The less places you have to go to configure ktfmt, the better.

I'm running into this same issue. It seems like the Intellij plugin uses 100 for max_line_limit regardless of the .editorconfig.

Fixed in #503

Should be fixed by #503
