One parameter per line if function prototype doesn't fit entirely in one line about ktfmt

[sgrimm]

Google's Kotlin style guide for Android says arguments should be split across multiple lines if the function signature doesn't fit on one line. JetBrains' official Kotlin style guide is fuzzier; it says "closely related" arguments should be placed on the same line, but obviously ktfmt can't determine that.

1. Are you missing 2 spaces before private fun…?

I'd expect the output to be:

  private fun getMethodsOrderedImplementationsWithMethods(
      metaData: JsonNode, interfaceIdex: Int, registryIdex: Int
  ): ArrayNode? {

2. The parameters fit in one line, so ktfmt doesn't break them. Should it break? do you prefer the first version? are you aware of a style guide that mandates it? how should ktfmt decide whether to break the parameter list or not?

@cgrushko
Sorry, the 2 spaces are my issue, the output is the same as what you expect.
After ktfmt makes the parameters be in the same line, the lint on phabricator complains about that.
I think the style guide should be consistent between ktfmt and the lint in phabricator

[cgrushko]

ktfmt and detekct/ktlint disagree, so some friction between the linters is expected (we plan to disable detekt's formatting on files that ktfmt formats).

Again, we could change this formatting decision. I don't have a good sense of what's right to do.

I think I agree with Carmi's expected style. We should disable some of Detekt's checks to match with this.

My personal preference is to put all parameters in one line. Browsing Hack code, which uses one parameter per line, is annoying to me because parameters dominate the vertical space (ie, all I see while scrolling is parameters). Could be that it just needs getting used to, but we do expect lots of interoperability with Java, so making it similar to java has its merits.

I agree with being similar to java. Would the detekct changes the rule OR ktfmt replace detekct as the lint in diff tool?

Let’s move the detekt/ktfmt discussion internally.

I'll close this for now. We can revisit this if we run into examples where it's very clearly better to break before each parameter.
