Don't Correct Work JS Beautify

[Nemial]

Platform Information

Komodo IDE Komodo Version 12.0.0

The standard JS Beautify formatter does not work correctly. It does not recognize JavaScript arrow functions, function = () => {} and corrects them to function = () = > {}, which naturally causes the function to fail.

@Nemial your best bet will be to a new formatter in your preferences:

• Install the version of the formatter you want to use
• Edit Menu > Preferences > Formatters
• Click the +
• Name and language are obvious
• Formatter > Other > Generic Commandline-line formatter
• Find the formatter install using the browse button
• Add whatever options you'd like.

I tried to do this, but js-beautify doesn't work with standard options,but only in the style where changes are visible when reloading files in the IDE. And alas, I could not overcome it in any way.

js-beautify -o file.js doesn't work if you do everything according to your advice

@Nemial could you share a screenshot of your config? I'm not clear what issue you're having.

That field is expecting an executable file which a JS file is not. Isn't there a binary/executable file that gets installed?

[Nemial]

There will be no difference if I put a file from the/usr/bin directory in that field , I tried to do this, but the result is the same. And all because it's the same file with this content

#!/usr/bin/env node

var cli = require('../lib/cli');
cli.interpret();

@Nemial what IS that file? It looks like it's loading node cli. How are you using it? What did you change in the configuration dialog?

I also note that you are on Linux, I thought you were on Windows for some reason. There should be an executable file in your node_modules folder for js-beautify. What does which js-beautify return?

[Nemial]

This is a file from a folder /usr/lib/node_modules/js-beautify/js/bin/. I use it to format my code(remove extra spaces, indents, and align everything). Yes I find on Linux Slackware Current. When used(in the options, specify use when saving a file), it gives

However, if you use js-beautify from a regular linux terminal, everything works. It does not work in the IDE

@Nemial try removing the -o. Komodo should handle the input and output file options.

[Nemial]

Oh, thank you. It's finally working

[th3coop]

Oh awesome! Ok cool. Thanks for your patience @Nemial !
