File reformatting to 4 spaces for indentation on save.

[mavidser]

EDIT: It's not just indentation. It reformats the file to some defaults it sees fit. a=b;c=d; gets spit into multiple lines on saving. Also, replicated this issue in HTML files.

• VSCode Version: 1.13.0
• OS Version: macOS 10.12.4

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a JavaScript project in a workspace. (Was unable to reproduce in a typescript and go project. But verified in 2 different javascript projects).
2. Open a file using 2 spaces for indentation. Hit Cmd-S for . The file reformats to 4 spaces.

When I open the file, the indent guides are at 2 stops. The status bar says Spaces: 2. But hitting save reformats the code to 4 spaces. Happens with eslint enabled and disabled. No workspace settings. Global setting has files.formatOnSave as off by default and editor.tabSize as 2. This has started happening recently after updating to the latest version.

If I reopen the file now, the status bar says Spaces: 4 with 4 spaces in indent guides. Now I select Indent using Spaces > 2, and Reindent Lines. This restores the 2 spaces formatting. But hitting save again turns the 2 spaces into 4.

This suddenly started happening to me as well.

Yeah. And now I've seen it happen in so many cases. Unminifies HTML, JS on save, with four spaces. Happens in js, json, html files. but doesn't in ts, c, go for me.

I have the same. Anybody solved it?

[mohd-akram]

It turns out I had a different issue which was related to the C# extension.

I found that JS-CSS-HTML Formatter extension affects on indents.
Thanks, anyway!

^This seems to be the problem. Set onSave as false in the extension's formatter config to fix this problem.

Closing this issue for now.
