STEPS TO REPRO 1. create a js file 2. type: function test() 3. go to next line and add a "{" 4. go to next line EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR The JavaScript editor adds the closing bracket for me, putting it indented like the opening one: function test() { | } The Java Editor behaves in this way. OBSERVED BEHAVIOUR The JavaScript editor adds the closing bracket for me, but it's indented the wrong way: function test() { |}
This also occurs when entering a new line after for, if, else, do, etc. except that in those cases, both of the braces are indented: STEPS TO REPRO 1. create a js file 2. type: if(expression) 3. go to next line and add a "{" 4. go to next line EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR The JavaScript editor removes the indentation and adds the closing bracket for me, putting it indented like the opening one: if(expression) { | } The Java Editor behaves in this way. OBSERVED BEHAVIOUR The JavaScript editor keeps the indent and adds the closing bracket for me, but it's indented the wrong way: if(expression) { | }
So this is the most annoying bug in the entire universe, so I've spent the past several hours trying to fix it. I've narrowed down the problem code. Class: org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.internal.ui.text.java.JavaAutoIndentStrategy Method: public void customizeDocumentCommand(IDocument d, DocumentCommand c) This method is called whenever you type characters. It then formats the document correctly. In JDT for example, when you type the '{' character, this method is called and then the { is de-indented correctly. In JSDT however, this method is never called when you type the '{' character. I've spent a while trying to figure out WHY this method isn't getting called, and have not yet come up with a reason.
