Description

Add new rule when-entry-bracing

Enforce consistent usage of braces in when entries. In case a when statement contains at least one when entry which uses braces around the body of the entry, then all when entries should use braces.

Braces are helpful for following reasons:

  • Bodies of the when-conditions are all aligned at same column position
  • Closing braces helps in separating the when-conditions

This rule is not incorporated in the Kotlin Coding conventions, nor in the Android Kotlin Styleguide. It is based on similar behavior in enforcing consistent use of braces in if-else statements. As of that the rule is only enabled automatically for code style ktlint_official. It can be enabled explicitly for other code styles.

Closes #2557
