Pydev is incorrectly formatting multi line keyword arguments to a function, and putting spaces

  • 0

Pydev is incorrectly formatting multi line keyword arguments to a function, and putting spaces even though the preferences is keyword arguments without spaces, in the special case when its a keyword argument following a regular argument.

Am I missing something here? and should possible bug reports stay on stack overflow? Fabio?

E.g.

funktion_call(arg1, kwarg1 = abc)

is correctly formatted to (with the appropriate pydev settings) to:

funktion_call(arg1, kwarg1=abc)

However, if the function call goes multiline:

funktion_call(arg1, 
                  kwarg1=abc)

then it incorrectly treats the spaces as if it was an assignment and formats to:

funktion_call(arg1, 
                  kwarg1 = abc)

    Actually, I can’t reproduce it in the latest PyDev version (which version are you using?)

    If you can reproduce it reliably, please create a bug report in the PyDev sf tracker with the example to reproduce it.

    Regarding where to report things, if you’re in doubt if it’s a bug or not, here is a good place to ask, but if you’re certain it’s a bug, it should be reported directly to the PyDev sf tracker.
