Gili commented on NETBEANS-332:
-------------------------------
[~neilcsmith] Typically, that's what I do but it's not always obvious that the
IDE has screwed up the file until it's too late. Sometimes an error occurs
somewhere near the top of the file but the formatting corruption occurs way
down the file. So you continue editing only to discover much later
(commit/diff) that the bottom half of the file is screwed up :)
> Code-format messes up file if it cannot be parsed

> Key: NETBEANS-332
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-332
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: editor - Formatting & Indentation
> Environment: Product Version: Apache NetBeans IDE Dev (Build
> 20180117-unknown-revn)
> Updates: Updates available
> Java: 9.0.4; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 9.0.4+11
> Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 9.0.4+11
> System: Windows 10 version 10.0 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_CA (nb)
> User directory: C:\Users\Gili\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\dev
> Cache directory: C:\Users\Gili\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\dev
> Reporter: Gili
> Priority: Major
>
> *Repro steps*:
> # Given:
>
> {code:java}
> public enu NoOpAllowPriceStep
> {
> INSTANCE;
> public Order atMaximumPrice(BigDecimal price)
> {
> return null;
> }
> public Order atBestPrice()
> {
> return null;
> }
> }
> {code}
> 2. Invoke code-format
> 3. File is reformatted as following:
> {code:java}
> public enu
> NoOpAllowPriceStep
> {
> INSTANCE;
> public Order
> atMaximumPrice
> (BigDecimal
> price
> )
> {
> return null;
> }
> public Order
> atBestPrice
> ()
> {
> return null;
> }
> }
> {code}
> *Expected behavior*: If file cannot be parsed, IDE should beep and refuse to
> reformat. The file contents should not be changed.
> *Justification*: If code-format rearranges tokens, then user corrects the
> compiler error, then invokes code-format again, he/she will not end up with
> the same result as if they had corrected the compiler error in the first
> place and invoked code-format. It takes a lot of effort to fix the formatting
> once the IDE messes it up.
