I've got Indigo installed, and am trying to adjust my JavaScript formatter settings to prevent a space from being added after the opening parenthesis in a for statement.

When I export my current settings for my formatter, and examine the values, I see this particular value:

<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.insert_space_after_opening_paren_in_for" value="do not insert"/>

When I attempt to format my JavaScript, my "for" statements continue having a space added after the opening parenthesis.

It seems like a problem with the formatter (the other settings for the "for" statement appear to work as expected).

Can anyone confirm this is broken, or are my expectations incorrect?

FWIW, here is a sample statement this is being incorrectly formatted:

for ( var i = 0; i < keySplit.length; i++) { }

Thanks! Jeff.

That's the JDT formatter preference for Java, not the JSDT preference for JavaScript.

Ahhh...that line was from when I was grasping at straws, trying to make it work...the real line was this:

<setting id="org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.formatter.insert_space_after_opening_paren_in_for" value="do not insert"/>

Giving me the same error....any other thoughts, Nitin?

Bug? And a rather odd one at that.

Okay, thank you for taking a look. I was going to open a bug report, but wanted another set of eyes to help verify that it really does seem to be a problem. Admittedly, it's not a big problem, but I'm trying to set up an SDE for a team, and JSLint has flagged that extra space after the opening paren as something to be fixed -- and I'd rather not have to start telling folks to disregard various JSLint warnings if I don't have to. For now, I'll tell my team it's a known issue....Thank you for your time!

Jeff.

It's not a known issue until you file the bug report.
