Can't change RPGLE lint indent value

[Justin-E-Taylor]

It seems no matter what I try, I keep getting this message on every line:
Incorrect indentation. Expected 0, got {number here}

I tried removing the "indent" property, as well as setting it to a crazy value. It still wants a 0 indent. Here's my current RPGLINT.JSON:

{
  "indent": 10,
  "PrototypeCheck": true,
  "NoOCCURS": true,
  "NoSELECTAll": true,
  "UppercaseConstants": true,
  "IncorrectVariableCase": true,
  "StringLiteralDupe": true,
  "NoSQLJoins": true,
  "PrettyComments": true,
  "NoGlobalSubroutines": true,
  "NoExternalTo": [
    "QCMD",
    "QP2TERM",
    "QSH",
    "SYSTEM",
    "QCMDEXC"
  ]
}

Any idea what I should check?

TIA

Anyone?

I haven't figured out exactly what changes it but press F1 and type indent and it should tell you to change the indent value. Also there is a place in the bottom right that allows you to adjust the ident value.

I think I'm setting it right, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

In the Object Browser view, I right-click on my filter and select "Open RPG lint configuration". The first value is for indent. No matter what value I put in there, the linter assumes an indent of 0. I've re-opened the source member and bounced VS Code. It keeps giving the same warning.

{
  "indent": 2,
  "PrototypeCheck": true,
  "NoOCCURS": true,
  "NoSELECTAll": true,
  "UppercaseConstants": true,
  "IncorrectVariableCase": true,
  "NoSQLJoins": true,
  "PrettyComments": true,
  "NoGlobalSubroutines": true,
  "NoExternalTo": [
    "QCMD",
    "QP2TERM",
    "QSH",
    "SYSTEM",
    "QCMDEXC"
  ]
}

Sorry Justin I’m not much help I don’t think I changed it in tjr linter. I was thinking that only affected the format document but not sure. But wanted to offer this up as well.

@Justin-E-Taylor
I have a feeling the assumption is that code will always start in the first column, and that indentations are relative to that:
I imagine you are seeing something like this:

When I Format Document the code is lined up at column 1:

@Justin-E-Taylor @worksofliam
In the code above, I have

The indent in RPGLINT.JSON, which is 2, overrides that. I've always found it to work like this.

[Justin-E-Taylor]

So the indent value is for nested blocks, not for the origin, and the origin is always 1?

[SJLennon]

Origin is always 1 in my experience (but I'm just a user). Personally, I've not found a reason to start code in other than column 1.

[SJLennon]

And CRLF vs LF doesn't seem to make any difference.

[Justin-E-Taylor]

Origin is always 1 in my experience (but I'm just a user). Personally, I've not found a reason to start code in other than column 1.

You're correct. For some reason, I assumed nested blocks were always indented 2 and the indent key sets the origin.

Code for i always has a gap between the line numbers and column 1. In RDi, column 1 starts right up against the line numbers so I force a gap manually.

Thanks, everyone! :)

I won't be able to join that meeting.

I've deleted and re-created my RPGLINT.JSON.
I've tried different source members.
I've tried both my Windows desktop and Linux laptop.

I haven't tried a different library. I'm going to try that next.

I told you a little wrong as I'm just back at a PC. Try this Press F1 and type Change Tab Display Size
